will the weather hold? we've got some racin to do!


I said it last year as I stood in line in the foul weather before last years Norfolk race..., "I think that God hates mountain bikers." I didn't utter that because of some accident, it was because of the weather that always ensued a race. Mostly rain. Wash out, you know.

The weather cats are saying BLIZZARD. Not for us (although I did hear that we could have an inch or so of snow overnight), but Norfork, NE is under some sort of advisory. They have the possibillity of getting copious amounts of snow. I'm not racing, but I hope you guys can!

Tranquility Trail day





Well the trail day was a great success. I think around twenty people showed up to do some work. We split up into two groups to tackle the projects. I was in the hole digging group. We buried a tube under the trail to help with erosion. The work goes fast when you have a bunch of people to help. The trail in now open so you can do your hot lunch laps..

Swanson was sweet

I got the bike out, and rode a couple laps at swanson today. The trail was perfect, and I sure missed riding on dirt.
I heard that manawa was in good shape so I am going to sneak out tomorrow afternoon and ride there. Can anyone join me? I am going to leave @1:30. let me know if you guys can go.

Exploration




Went for a ride down to TP to see how much work the trail council did on Saturday. This was the first time I have been down there since the snow melted. Wow I couldn't believe how much the trail eroded and how much dirt was being moved around on the south hill. All I thought was, what a mess. The trail crew did a great job on the reroutes and the water bumps. I ran into Chris doing some whacking and some other people out riding. I did not ride all the trail so I don't know what shape the rest of it is. Rode back up to SBL and rode some horse trails and headed home. There is a trail day this Sunday From 12:00 to 4:00 to get the trail back into good riding shape, I plan to be there to help.

Tues night ride with Dmars





Hooked up with Mars for a ride around the hood. I like riding a SS on the road, it makes things interesting. The only thing bad about it is that you can't shift into a higher gear on the downhills or the flats. You just spin away enjoying the fresh air.

Sunday 65 degrees

I am going to ride the West Papio tomorrow. Zorinsky to Standing Bear and back. I'll bet I'll be on the trail around 1:30. Skinny tires and a Bike Masters Jersey. Maybe we can hook up? It's been over a week since I've been on the bike, so this will be a 'get reacquainted' ride 20+ miles.

game on?
