Mineral Wells Stage Race
Mineral Wells Stage Race
We were hoping the rain wouldnt be bad, maybe it would even hold off. It was supposed to rain hard on Friday and it had just sprinkled, maybe Saturday would be the same. We awoke to wet ground and a slight rain. By the time we were headed out to the course it hadn’t changed too much. Shawn and I were riding to the course to get a decent warm up in our legs. We...

The Spinistry Texas Chainring Massacre.
I hadn’t been on my cross bike sine the State Championship race in December, and it was looking kind of lonely. So once I realized I would be in town this past weekend I decided to put myself through 90 miles of Denton and Wise county’s finest gravel for The Spinistry’s Texas Chainring Massacre. The event had already been sold out, but I was able to get a transfer from a teammate, so...

A box of Sheet.
Yesterday a box of Sheets appeared at my door. Its a new energy strip on the market, that I’ve been using instead of redbulls before race starts. Pretty convenient and I can take them right at the line without worrying about the carbonation giving me an upset stomach. I won the box in a twitter contest last week while waiting to head to Tulsa.
They work pretty good too.
This week has...

Tulsa Cross Weekend.
Bryan Fawley and I headed up to the Showdown at Sundown in Broken Arrow, OK arriving an hour or so before our race started. We got our numbers, had a look at the course, and proceeded to get dressed. We had surveyed the course from the highway when we were coming in, and it didn’t look like there was going to be a lot to offer, it was a driving range so from afar it seemed really flat and...
