The Kona 24 hours in the Old Pueblo is a 24 hour mountain bike race down near Tuscon that is on February 16, 2008. Robert, Chris Z, and I have agreed we’re doing the event together as a team. We need to find a 4th (at least, it would be a good idea if we […]
Over on MTBR I posted this ride report. There’s no sense in re-hashing the whole thing here, so just click on over. Yesterrday (and why I’ve waited this long to post here), they posted the results. Of 30 finishers in my category, I finished 27th. That doesn’t sound great, until you consider how many DNFs […]
I’m leaving Phoenix within an hour to ride the Tour of the White Mountains. I’ve decided to give the 52 mile distance the go, assuming the event will let me register for it when I arrive (since I’m still not registered). I figured what the heck, you only die once. I’ll have my new camera. […]
Ok, the Tour of the White Mountains is just 5 days away, and I still haven’t selected a distance. Unless my friend Chris Z goes and does the 52 miler, I’m leaning toward the 41 miler.

I’m subscribed to their blog, and have been blown away with all of the great industry info they’ve been publishing. I think I’m most interested in more news about […]
We went up to Pinetop this weekend, so of course I brought my mountain bike. Without a truck of some sort, I needed to ride directly from our house. Not a problem, but it did mean I wouldn’t be able to ride any new trail stretches, just places I’ve already ridden. The basic ride plan […]
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m thinking about riding the Tour of the White Mountains on October 6. Actually, I’m more than thinking about it, I’m fairly committed to it. The next big question is what distance to go? The choices are 41, 52, and 66 miles. The 41 and 52 ride routes I have ridden […]
My family and my brother Robert’s family came up to our house in Pinetop for the long weekend. It’s so relaxing up here, it’s tough to ever want to leave, and it makes us wonder why we don’t come up even more. Our Pinetop house is at ~7000 feet, so temperatures are fairly cool. It’s […]
