Let's start planning. Who is going down which day? (I took leave Friday-Monday) Are we trying to setup "Saber Village"? (my vote is yes; we need to get dibs on the canopies from ODR) Hector are you going to accept refugee status and camp with us? I'…

Taking a poll on the distance we do for this one... This may be my last epic ride in Germany, so I'ld like to ride together.

VulcanBike Eifel Marathon at Daun, Germany

This is a bike marathon right in our own backyard. The start/finish is in the town marketplace in Daun. Should be some great trails and awesome scenery...and maybe some suffering. Online registration available at http://www.vulkanbike.de/extreme/

Word. We are still ironing out the details. We will have a press conference when it's all solid.

Chris Vachon replied to Zachary Richter's discussion 'Sleepless in the Saddle'
Zach, I spoke to Phaty and he said he gave you the nod on the list you sent him on 2 July, so he doesn't understand your confusion. He said you (or whomever is speaking for the whole group) should email him and clear it up at phaty@mac.com. If you h…

Chris Vachon replied to Zachary Richter's discussion 'Sleepless in the Saddle'
I talk to him from time to time. I'll ask him if he got your message, but the event sold out in less than a day. He did hold some slots for us Americans but I don't know how many he had and for how long he could hold them. How many people were you t…

Chris Vachon replied to Chris Vachon's discussion 'Head Count for Ansbach'
Zach, We have raced this course for the past 3 years and it was a nice mix of singletrack and fireroad; I would say about 25% to 75% respectively. Construction and expansion of the training area has forced them to move the course this years, so no…

What's up Sabers! I'm from the Ramstein area, but found your site, so thought I would sign up. I'm thinking about heading down to the Ansbach race, but was hoping someone on this forum had raced it before and had some information on the course. Is i…

Boos!




I went to the Poison Bike Cup race in Boos today. The right Boos this time, by the way. It's out near Daun and the Vulkaneifel was pretty much summarized in this short course. Like the other local races we have done this series is fairly

USFE Series - Wiesbaden



I was the lone Saber at Wiesbaden today. There was not a huge turnout for this one, but it was interesting. The course was somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200m per lap and it had basically two features -- uphill and downhill. The kids went out first and the Overfield children clea… Continue

Erbeskopf MTB Marathon


Last year Jeff and I went to this event last minute and were able to ride. This year 1200 people signed up and the event organizers shut down registration early, so jump on it early next year. I did the 65 km course this year which included 1700 m of climbing. It was really soggy fro… Continue

A second Vachon could make an appearance on a trail near you...

Becca has a mountain bike! She picked up a Trek Fuel EX 5.5 WSD in a hardcore white and pink color scheme. Check it out:

I definitely plan on being out on the trails this year. I am nowhere near as fast as everyone else as I have not been riding for the past few years but it sure will be fun.
