- We are unfortunately a long way away from riding locally.
- We are just 43 days away from the first National Enduro in South [...]

Top reasons I cannot wait for next season!
Posted on 14 December, 2009 by Joe V
Next season will be here soon, just a few months away. But, in my book it cannot get here soon enough. My counter says that it is just 31 days till the National Enduro in SC, but a pathetic 114 days till the first local race. The season of racing signifies so many good things [...]

Sugar Maple video
Posted on 13 December, 2009 by Joe V
Dave Hollub made up this video for Sugar Maple MX track and woods. I am following Brian Terry in the video. Not the greatest riding, but we were just figuring out the track and woods that day.
The D16 race there in May should be really good though. There is a lot of [...]

10 Reasons my job does not suck
Posted on 11 December, 2009 by Joe V
Sometimes my job doesn’t suck! This week was one of those times.
I was out at the new RadioShack cycling teams first camp in Tucson. If you are a cycling fan you know that this might be the strongest cycling team that has ever been built. It is all built with the singular focus of dominating [...]

In appreciation of the Burrito
Posted on 8 December, 2009 by Joe V
The reasoning.
For a long time I have been thinking about writing this. I am finally doing it because I have been inspired by an advertisement that I saw from Fox mountain bike suspension. I the advert that I am referring to, there is a really sweet piece of singletrack heading off into the distance. The [...]

Mark and I made our way from Gallatin, TN over to near Dickenson today. We planted the big truck at the hare scramble venue then loaded the mountain bikes into the Jeep and drove to the Montgomery Bell State Park for some exploring.
The MBSP has really good reviews on the Tennessee mountain bike site Mark [...]

No more local riding
Posted on 6 December, 2009 by Joe V
Snowed on Friday. More snow coming today/tonight. Possibly 5-6 inches. If that happens, we will definetely be done riding this year. Knew it was coming, it always does. But, I was just so hopeful that it wasn’t really going to be soon. You know, living in denial.
Since I didn’t get to make it to Tennessee [...]

Two wheels in Tennessee
Posted on 5 December, 2009 by gnccamateurs
Still in TN. Mark and I did a few hours on the trials bikes this morning trying to conquer the greasy hills out back of where we are staying. Last night’s breezy evening and some sun and warmer temps this morning dried the hill out a bunch so today’s riding was far more satisfying than [...]

Pile of Gas Gas Replicas
Posted on 3 December, 2009 by gnccamateurs
