Arduum Challenge 2009

I havent decided if I can race w/o smoking myself.

I finally got out to ride Arduum for the first time today [HTML_REMOVED] loved it! What a fun trail - kudos to the builders [HTML_REMOVED] to the race organizers for inviting us all out to see it.

Ya I am compensating for the fact that I am short and I talk too much…and I am old and I am getting grey hair….and timmy is a FAK.

Ha…it wasn't meant to be this way in the master plan. I have done the test of metal for years as a fitness thing and DH has never overlapped. TOM reg is on Jan6 and the DH calendar is never out till like april so it was a conflict but I love both events…so I want my cake and eat it too! Unlike Connor who is gonna smuggle grapes at the tom and then sleep all sunday…

Thanks and we will see ya sunday.

I'm still injured. that's my story. Sleeping in on Sun will be nice though.

My buddy bought this off Derek Chambers' of the pinkbike team if that helps ring any bells.

This is really fucking shitty so if everyone could keep their eyes and ears open, it would be very appreciated…

Many thanks to Denise, Greg, the trail builders and everyone else who helped to put on a great race! Lots of fun riding (and I haven't had to shotgun a beer since university!!!) Fun times…

to the little kid in the green bike brewery shirt….wish i had the stoke that you have(i have lots, just wish I had more). I overheard you talking about your prerace practice and even though I had a semi-crappy practice, I felt damn good after hearing you explain your run to your friends. Then after the race,I once again was standing beside you and had the chance to overhear how stoked you were about your race run….even though you didn't win, i sure wish your enthusiasm could have been shared with everyone at the race…..made me and my girlfriend feel glad to be part of the sport. Thanks. Thanks to Tyler from pinkbike in hooking you up with some gear.

to the little kid that smoked everyone….by a fair margin…way to go.
good job Tyler, glad to see the karma points you got from giving me a lens went to good use.

thanks to the Trident guys for helping me with my brakes.

great weekend and thanks to all who made it happen.

ps. good job Greg on getting the weatherman to trick us not once, but twice.

holy crap did i ever shit the proverbial bed today!
humbling conditions, many spankings handed out by mother nature.

woohoo fun!

who had the fastest time?

tyler gorz….(or so i believe). 9 seconds over second place.
