Pre Rust Rustyness

Wow, seem like I was just getting ready to race LAST week and now it's the eve before another one. This time at my home-ish trails at MMCC. The race is the Rust Shaker. I'm not one to think positive, and I ain't about to start now! I have but one class choice for this race (unless I sandbagged in Sport, and I'm not) and that is Pro/Expert. And it isn't a big field, so I have pretty much decided that I will be the Lanterne Rouge for this one. No big, I want my racin' money's worth, and 2 laps in this class will yield me about 24miles.

The course sounds if-y as they had some snow there this week and as I type this it is raining a little. Shouldn't be a mud fest or anything, but it will be slick in a few sections. I'm using the Spearfish for this course. I've used the El Mariachi, the Spearfish and the Dos Niner on these trails, and the Spearfish is the hands down winner. Lots of seated hammering can be done and NOT get beat up. And the Spearfish is good at that, damn good! Plus B-Man and I delivered the El Mariachi to Napper at Terry's today to get a new drive train and free hub installed, so I don't even have it. (sniff, sniff, wiping tear).

Got wind of a SWEET ride going down next month. Can't wait for it. The Trifecta Tour on May 22nd. A sweet 41 mile ride to benefit the Western MMBA. Looks like a damn good time if you dig single track and want to see more built in the coming years here in Michigan. Look at me pimping the my new state's trails, LOL. Well, while I'm living here I gotz to do what I can to enjoy what the state has to offer, and fun single track is well worth my time and money.

Finished XXC #11 today. Just some EPS/PDF nerdy conversion type things to do next Monday, and then upload, publish, and hope people dig. There is a look at the cover....

I love my job.

Time to do some chillin', relaxin' and worryin' about tomorrow's Rust Shaker blood bath.

Later.
