LEADVILLE 100 again in 2007

Hey all, I'm in. I have a goal again in 2007, wahoooooooooo. If you want to see who's in, go here, click on entrants. Sorry to those that didn't make it or even apply.

29'er Misfit Psycles Single Speed BLA-ING

MISFIT PSYCLES 29'er SINGLE SPEED RIGID WISECRACKER!! Notice the 38gr bottle opener, worth it's weight for true trailer trash trail days. PSFFFFSHT!!! aaaaah MY 29'er WAYS ARE JUST BEGINNING. SS first, then full sus 29'er next year. SS built from scratch, even da wheels. Even w/800gr. tires, 215gr. tubes, heavey rotors & 42t chainring (for pre-season road work) the big roller comes in at 23 lbs. Oh yeah!! 1000+ miles on the Misfit Psycles last year....will do more on this bad boy. Force training here I come. Buck bump soon enough!!! The Scalpel wouldn't sell for the cash demanded so it stays. Love the bike anyway. It gave me weiner bragging rights. To reward it, I have a few upgrades which will bring the knife to 23lbs. With these two trail bikes & the new "used" Biannci 2001' chro-mo road beast, I'm good......Now if that Leadville 100 app would come back positive again this year, I'd be golden!! Black cat in picture...., where did that come from. Peter must have shipped that in frame box too!!! Working with Misfit Psycles to get black rings and cranks. Jackpot!!

ARROWHEAD 135

What a cool race. One moment I'm interested then soon realize...no way am I prepared. Something like -10 to -25 below zero. As I hear reports of rescue, 31 of 46 drop outs & other details, I can only say wow! and nice job to all who gave it their all. Blog below, link on blog to main race page too. http://www.arrowheadultra.com/blogger/blogger.html

B POSITIVE: the best thing about time....

Face it!! Priorities. Remain healthy and there is always more time. There's always another day in the month. There's always a few extra hours remaining in your day. You can always wake up earlier or turn in an hour later. There's always time?!? Enjoy this year now, or there's always next year.....

Chilly Daze Progress

No go on the Chilli Chilly race, ummm, not in my schedule. Good month of prep work. Shedding pounds fast & feel 100% good. Hit the real bike for 10 rides so far, twice as many as last January. Plus, an absolutley new aspect of training this year, gym work! Hit the gym 5 times so far in January. The gym is stupid, but I'll bring more power this year.....planning to continue a moderate mix while I wait for Leadville 100 and Skyride confirmation/denials to arrive. I'll post my new 29'er SS pics in a few weeks..almost done.

Duncan rides big wheels

Last post until after the Chilli Race? By the way I spent way too much time creating a "training blog" site. Look on the right for link and go there, get busy!!! You have a season of racing just 4-5 months away!! Basically it's a collection of my favorite on-line resources. If I write it, if I click it, if I understand and have focus, I remember and I WILL DO IT. Use the force MN-Sota boy. Sorry, I'm busy watching all the Star Wars episodes with my kids. Between studying training and training, I'M BUSY NOW!!!
