R.I.M. 08-17-2008

An ecstatic exhaustion indeed. Many Emporians made the trip up to Landahl for 12 hours of Rapture in Misery. The morning started out great. After setting up the High Gear camp we decided to get a taste of what we were going to be in for. The trail was looking amazing as […]

campfire riding 08-04-2008

Thanks to everyone who came out to the campfire ride on Saturday, it was the best weekend I've had in a while. Especially thanks to Matt and Steph, without them most of us would not even be riding. Even though we were missing a few people it was a great time.I particularly […]

Road 90 07-27-2008

Well, I didn't do the death ride today. I wanted to support the local event, but registration was a bit steep and I have to work this afternoon. I did manage to get on my bike this morning. I didn't really want to ride alone, but sometimes it's what the soul […]

Not much to report, but I wanted to get a link up here to the article I wrote for CX Magazine. Check it out and hope you enjoy.DK 200 Article

Raw Meat 07-20-2008

I feel like I'm in an episode of My Name is Earl. Stupid Karma. I give Garret crap about his chapped a$$ and now my hind end looks like it went through a meat grinder. That's what Shawnee will do to you. I have ridden rocky courses and by no means shy away from […]

Just cuz' 07-15-2008

I figure it's been way to long since my last post. I guess not too much has been happening. We had the MS Marble walk this past weekend, despite mother nature's unwillingness to cooperate. Thanks to everyone who came and helped out. Bobby and I just finished up […]

Upon further review, it was discovered that the mechanical problem at the race was in fact a broken brake pad. One pad decided to just fall off and take the piston with it. Probably shouldn't have waited three years to replace them. Anyways, ended up 9th outta 18 and […]

Back in the saddle! 06-22-2008

Well, the final XC Heartland race was today. First and foremost these guys do a phenomenal job. Without them, there would be virtually no racing in the Midwest. So big ol' thanks to these fella's.What to say...it was a hot one. Luckily, I don't feel the heat […]

DK 200 06-03-2008

I guess I can finally give my thoughts on the most grueling bike event I've done to date. In case you don't know the scoop: It's 200 miles. It's one day. It's some of the worst gravel and minimum maintenance roads Kansas has to offer. Not to mention […]

AHH! 05-29-2008

This can't be happening! We're only two days away from DK time and I got a cough creepin' up. In addition I'm feeling pretty fatigued. Hopefully that's just from the long day. I think Garret must have unleashed a virus on me when I was over at his […]
