a couple of bike rides and he goes and cuts his hair.

So ive been able to ride my bike more lately. up to at least once a week now since Nova. Which is good. Im excited about that. It can only build from there.

Working has been good. Hit a nice groove. Nova was the first time out of the box that i felt pro. I also rode 3 times that weekend a preride of the XC course, then the Super d Course. Then raced super d on saturday and then XC on sunday. and on top of that i had to work. which one guy didnt seem to understand what i was there for. he was asking for help with his fork right after i got done racing, i dont think he understood what tired meant but i think i got it across. had some podium action at that race.

The next weekend i spent at mountain states cup number 1 outside of fruita, CO. only had a few racers show up, but gave me a good amount of time to work on the trailer. Ben got top 10 in pro men XC which was good. I rode my moto after the first day of racing and forgot the right brake lever is the front brake on a motorcycle. so down i went and snap went the clutch lever. got to rie my bicycle the next day which was good.

the weekend after that was Sea otter. Which changed the format of the layout that i had just gotten used to and the number of athlete's attendance went up as we had XC and Gravity folks again. womens XC kicked ass. we had a 2,3,4 finish for the pro womens XC which im pretty proud of.

and now im hanging around socal fixing my truck and trailer, and my motorcycles and bicycles before santa Ynez valley national comes around. My sister lives in Santa Monica so i spent a couple days with her. and ill be back tomorrow if all goes well. I figure this is enough for now. ill drop a few more photos and be on my way.

So pro

and that was the view from the NOVA NMBS brought to you by Sobe/Cannondale. The event went awesome i have good feelings about the season. Knowing the racers is a lot easier then knowing customers. I actually just got my team bikes for the truck today and they look sweet. Im looking forward to getting them built up to show off at Sea Otter. Should be a good event. will have about 12 athletes there for me to service. Hope it all goes well. this race will be more difficult then NOVA or MSC #1 because there will be gravity and cross country athletes which makes it harder to juggle everything. well thats all for now.
