Woodward Park Cross

Here's a few pics of Matt and Vinny playin in the mud during Sunday's cross event. Photo's courtesy of HH as the remainder of the team took to the high roads to complete the last of a three week block before Christmas.

today i was lucky to get in three hours with vinny. the legs are pretty shot. so we just wanted to spin 'um, but a 15mph direct headwind for the 1.5 hr trip home has me thinkin about an early rest week!

i'm a puss, i know it.

Hittin The Deck

The group got a little zealous today descending Powerhouse and four of us laid it down through the turn above. This is a section that is notorious for icy patches in the winter but today had been warmer than usual and we didn't give it a second thought.

I had been following another rider through the turn and was the first to have my wheel come out from under me and skidded on my side what felt like 50 meters forcing Easterling off the road. His MTB skills took over and he kept his new frame intact for the ride home.

As I came to a halt, I looked back just in time to see Vinny, Britter, and Brandon also on their sides sliding right into me.

As we were checking ourselves to make sure nothing was broken (nothing was), a County Sheriff rolled up, gave us first aid, and took a report. He was also nice enough to give Barrows a lift back to his car which was needed to give Britter and Brandon a ride home. The rest of us rolled in a little banged up and broken hearted but it could have been MUCH worse.

We'll all be able to ride tomorrow

Poor Vinny looks like he's right out of a M.A.S.H. unit

Looky Looky

Here is the first picture of the team ride for 2008.

NICE!

What's on your wish list this year?

hop... john sprints... chad moves to fresno

The fun of riding with two new teammates (Chad and John) on Saturday's HOP was tempered upon learning that we won't be riding the Tuesday Port with Chad anymore as he is moving back to Fresno. Bummer, cause he always good for a strong attack.

John took the two sprints on Saturday, which was fun to watch. Can't wait to be out there in the new kits!
