  1. There's $12,000 in @TrekBikes & a set of @NormaTec_MVP boots up for grabs in the @RoadID giveaway. I'm entered! bit.ly/vfHfpZ
  2. Exciting gossip on mtbr: The scuttlebutt is that "Specialized is gearing up to produce a lot of 650b bikes", according to a reputable src.
  3. Should most AR course designers stop listing "mountain biking" as a discipline & call it "fire road racing" instead? bit.ly/oVMEPB
  4. The Tour de france is making it hard to focus on last minute training and preparations for Raid the North Extreme http://bit.ly/nCOwcg
  5. Please let me win the Trek Madone with Dura-Ace in the @RoadID July Giveaway. I could really use that bike. bit.ly/m1Xvtw
  6. Clean my drivetrain for the race tomorrow, or clean the dog so she no longer smells like the dead thing she rolled in?
  7. Excited about my new light for racing! The Lupine Piko X is smaller, lighter, brighter and has better runtime than anything else I've seen.
  8. 2 endos last wkend; a 30-40ft ragdoll down a steep sideslope off Squirrel Gap yesterday; I have to quit crashing. Too many cuts & bruises.
  9. Urban downhill mtb racing video. The speed through those narrow stairs, between the wall and handrail is just sick! - http://j.mp/ehvN5k
  10. Upcoming EBB adapter for PF30 bottom brackets. All of my problems have now been solved!!...well, at least one of them - http://j.mp/h8hUIW
  11. Very grumpy... First nice weather of the year, and I'm missing an entire week+ due to a strained soleus/calf. Did I mention I was grumpy?
  12. I never thought I'd say this, but I actually enjoyed riding the trainer tonight. Sufferfest videos ease the (mental) pain. #IWBMATTKYT
  13. Taco Bell "beef" contains, unsurprisingly, mostly stuff that is not beef. Just in case the taste didn't clue you in - bit.ly/fWnrcj
  14. Like, instead of waterboarding, like the gov should,like,have this girl sitting, like, next to me, just like, talk for like a long time.
  15. The Sufferfest - Downward Spiral workout was NOT any easier the second time around this week...ouch!
