Darkhorse Gallop 08
It was a day to remember our father(s), a day we realized fudge bars and Chuckie Cheese pizza might be the key to riding faster, a day to remember to add four, five, six scoops of Heed rather than three, a day I was renamed Colenn, a day I realized I’m taking pictures of guys in tights, as well as a day I was happy to be reassured I take pictures of women too, a day I realized Porsche makes a bike rack that people actually use, a day I cracked up so hard when I saw a MTBNJ blow up doll on the course, and finally a day I will live and hear over and over as the day Tony was faster than me… and, last but not least, a day I had a great time at a race that was fast and challenging, even though I sucked wind like I was a Dyson vacuum…
First batch:
Is MTBNJ expanding their business portfolio…? Awesome ad.
Some climbs were just painful.
Look at me, I’m excited! yeah!
Lost kid on cone 7…
Fox F29 RLC 100m 2009
Oh yes, last time I reviewed the Vassago Jabberwocky and told you I was going to put on a Fox F29 to smooth out the harshness of the rigid fork, well dudes and dudettes here’s a little write up on the 2009 Fox F29 100mm travel fork.
First thing you might notice is that the new 29er fork from Fox comes in 3 travel options, 80, 100 and 120. Fox heard the cries and must of read the forums where every bike nerd was crying out for a longer travel fork for their 29 inch wheeled rigs. Besides the 3 travel options Fox also redesigned the crown making it lighter without sacrificing safety and lightened up the legs a bit to keep you weight watchers happy. I ended up getting the 100mm travel fork so the review is based on that model. The 100mm model also comes with a spacer if you want to shorten the travel to 80mm, why would you do that though? Ok lets dive right into it
Major Mike and his band of buffer trail bandits
We did a pre-ride on the new Stewart race course today in 95+ degree heat… To sum it up in the best words I know…um, holy crap!
The course is pretty much in reverse of the usual course which means we climb… we climb alot!… but if your legs don’t feel like lead after the prolog and the intial big climb you get to fly, I mean cry, as you enter the new trail, which goes up yet again. Its a nicely laid out single track which eventually flows through a nicely built trail where the pace will pick up. After you wipe the tears from your eyes and the fire in your legs cools you will be full into a course that has more leg burning climbs and fast sections that will test your handling abilities as well as your stamina. The race will be fun, fast, and painful…
After the pre-ride, we couldn’t resist trying the course in reverse, as well as try Major Mike section in reverse… its a fun course, might as well try it both ways. Luckily, for us we were able to play witness to those folks that make our races and trails possible… Darkhorse guys working the trail to get it ready for everyone else.. A big THANKS goes to these guys working the trail…
