   I’ll make sure and mention how overwhelmingly intimidated by you I am in my next blog post. Honest. No really, I will.

   Oh, and 1 non-work related blog, 1 Flickr page, and one sort of blog thing for work that hasn’t really worked yet.

   So there. And here’s a little something to help you recover more quickerer like:

   Hey Scott, saw the link to your site here in the weekly GNCC Quick Fill. I recognized you immediately from the Discovery Channel shows from a few years ago about Lance. Awesome to see you’re into this as well! I’ve been riding GNCC’s for many years now, and this will be a challenge you’ll never forget. Train your ass off, these tracks are ROUGH! Best of luck to you though, hope to meet you at the races! – Kevin Schuler

   Kevin – interesting that you recognized me from TV. Cool that motorcyclists ride bikes and vice versa. We are looking forward to tackling the GNCC races and have a winter of preparation planned. Everyone we talk to says they are pretty difficult courses so we’re doing our best to get ready. Hope to see you at the races! S.

   Heya Joe. Thought I posted this a long time ago when I read your post about your knee. Sorry to hear the news, but at least amputation isn’t required, eh? Heal quick like, eh?

    Good work Scott. I always found it hard to lead. Glad you toned it down and did not ride over your head, that’s smart. rm

13. keith code, on October 17th, 2007 at 8:05 pm Said:

    Yes, we’ve missed you at the schools but look what you are doing, that is great. It sounds like a life of leisure to me. I think I’m the guy who rides the least of anyone that I know and that is a crime. The cobbler’s family go without shoes.

    You are right, we’ve been really busy the last couple of years, almost too many schools but being a gypsy is what it is. Much is the same but much is also different than it used to be. I think we’ve ironed out a lot of stuff to make the days go a lot smoother for the students and we use a lot more coaches now than before. What a project it is keeping up with your passions.

    Good luck to you and Joe.

    All the best,

    Keith

    Good grief Joe! Stop saying things like ‘that might not sound like much to you..’ would you? Recovery is what it is, and every little step back to normalcy is a big deal. So there.

    Hey Joe and Scott- I spent a little time with Roger Bird a couple of days ago changing ice tires, and he told me you guys are going at the nationals and directed me to our site. NICE WORK! Represent D16! I hope all goes well for you this season.

    Maybe you could have the radiator repaired and set it aside as a spare. Or repair it and secretly swap it with one of Scotty’s unmolested ones. Yup, now that’s a plan…

    Good on you and Scotty
34. Scott Forrest, on March 5th, 2008 at 9:31 pm Said:

    Sweet Scotty. Glad to hear you had a hard time for once. The rest of us would have kicked out our spokes to ensure a DNF after one lap.

    So…um…I was going to ask what you do with the…uh…bodily urges during such a long race. Now I know. I thought maybe a pair of Depends would be a good idea, but your solution works just as well. It’s mostly water anyway, right? Anyway, brilliant stuff. You guys are nuts. The stories killer. And I can’t get enough! But you really need to get one of the V. girls to be staff photographer.

    It was great meeting you both in FL. That’s a tough first race after a winter off! I hope you’re hands held up.

    We (my partner Sam and I) were very impressed with the bikes/graphics, and could not be happier as a sponsor of your team.

    Good luck with the series!

    The snow is still deep here. Nearly up to my knees. At this rate, the 24 hour race I have on my calendar for Memorial Day weekend will be wet and muddy. I miss riding trails.

    [i]We both harbored a fear of arriving to a trailer and van that had been ransacked with huge chunks of our gear missing and a bike that had been vandalized. [/i]

    Welcome to the world of the demo team. This is the thought we wake up with every morning when we are on the road. You’ll remember that this is exactly what happened to me at Crankworx last year.

    Yeah Joe and Scott,

    Stoked that you are hammering at the GNCC’s. Went for a great moto ride today here on Vancouver Island. High rivers and still a bit of snow but stoked to get out in the cedars for some tight woods. Enjoyed putting a good beat-down on my riding partner. Maybe I missed it but you should post your 2008 race schedule on your website… are you thinking of any ISDE qualifiers? Anyway, I enjoy checking out your site every now and then. Have fun racing!

    See ya,

    Hi Judd,

    The team schedule and results are on the main website. http://www.vesrahsuzukignccamateurs.com

    No qualifiers for us. Just stuff where there is a start and finish line, and you just go as fast as you can in between there.

    Thanks James.

    We are having a good time with this. Hope to see you at a few races.

    We will miss the next 2 races, due to a few circumstances. Scott’s wife is going to have a baby in the next week or so, and that means we will miss Ohio. My oldest daughter is graduating from High School on the same weekend as Sparta, so I will miss that one. I am going to do a couple of local races in between there, and I will post some stories from those.

    But, we will be back at the GNCC thing in Yadkinville. See you there.

    Forrest,

    You are right. Crummy photo, I know. That is a 2009 Trek Top Fuel carbon. It has 100mm of travel, and all the new Trek technologies (Full Floater, ABP, EVO link), but it also has a bunch of technologies from the Madone. E2 steerer, seat mast and 90mm wide BB.

    It is unbelievably light and unbelievably fast.

    Hey Scott (remember me from WI harescrambles in 2007?) nice project! If you come up to the sandbox again e-mail me to let me know as I only live 30 min. west and ride there all the time, well I am planning to (I just got a new bike a week ago. This past week was my first ride at the box this season but the past season I rode there quite a bit) I’ll swing over there and we can tear it up!
71. Scott Forrest, on December 28th, 2008 at 6:35 pm Said:

    Joe, why does the enduro bike need lights? Is there a rule that you have to fall in line with? The enduros here in CO don’t, only spark arrestors.

    Happy New Year

    Hey Nate! I remember you! Looks like you had a great year of racing in D23. Won some enduros and hare scrable races?! What is your plan for 2009 – focus on enduros? Have you considered doing the OMA or GNCC series? You definitely have the speed to do well at national events.
    My parents live west of MSP so I’m up your way from time to time. I still haven’t ridden at the Sandbox arena but will some day. I’ll be sure to give you a call before I drive up. Keep in touch and say hey to your dad for me. Does he still have the van? How many miles are on it now?!

    I noticed you ran short sleeves some times last year.

    Do you ever wear elbow guards? I cringe looking at the photos with your bare elbows out there but then again, I have fallen down a few more times than you have.

    

    Have fun this weekend and I hope the trailer helps.

    Sounds like you got most of it sorted out. How big is your tank? My stock tank is 2.8 gal and I think it will work for the WI races. Remember we always burn more gas at Dyracuse because of the sand. Maybe just take a pit crew to Dyracuse to help with a gas stop and maybe you’ll be fine the rest of the races.

    I am working on my bike tonight. My plastic came in as well as the skid plate (carbon), pipe guard (eline carbon), HD tubes and a few other little goodies.

    Can’t wait to get out there with you guys!

    Rog-
    I haven’t worn elbow protection for several years now. I have fallen and dinged my wrists and hands but luckily not my elbows. Seems I fall on my head and hips mostly (this was true when I played sports in high school and college too). I recognize how exposed my elbows are and how long it would take to recuperate from an injury but that hasn’t stopped me from taking the risk.

    The video of Marquette looked great! However you only showed the easy part. What about the walls of slimy moss covered rocks or should I say moon rocks. I broke my tripple clamp in that section 8 years ago. I guess trees will do that to you. Come to think of it I think thier is a conspiracy among trees against me, ahhhhhhhhhhh fond memories it makes me want to get my bike out of moth balls. Hopefully I can make it around my house twice this year instead of once. Only time will tell. Keep it between the arrows!

    Thanks Jonthan. Good to hear from you. Sure would like it if you came out and rode with us again.

    I shredded my other knee just after I lost the video anyway. So, I did not get to finish. I will go back and finish it this year.
