Rides, Promos, and Time Wasting

Yesterday I rode out on the gravel and dirt roads of central Mich., and that was great, but today my loins ached for some singletrack. The closest quality singletrack is the Mid Michigan Community College trails just a fast 80+ mph drive up 127. So that is where I ended up.

I learned my lesson more than once (twice) that me on hardtail at MMCC does NOT equal fun. So I went with my "go to" ride; the Salsa Spearfish. The 'fish just eats up the lumpy-assed singletrack at Mid-Mich. I heart the Spearfish.

I planned on two laps and time to shoot some XXC Magazine promo video. I feel that the video is sort of like a Lady Gaga video without Lady Gaga, shit music and ugly chicks. But WITH a fat magazine publisher, good music, sweet bikes and fun singletrack. Here is a look at the final product...

Think of it sort of like a commercial, except with no budget and most likely NO ONE taking the bate and checking out a kick ass magazine. HA!

This is about all I got. Gotta cook some food, chill, get ready for a big off the bike/on the work day tomorrow, and the Boyne Marathon on Saturday. God I feel SOOOOO unprepared to race. Which means that only GOOD things can come from racing.

Later.
