I don't feel good about my chances either. I was really looking forward to going to Italy again. I'm still begging for some leave though.

Not sure if Aviano's going to work out for me this year.

Chris Vachon commented on Chris Vachon's event 'Poison Bikes Cup - Adenau'

This is a late update I realize, but this race has been cancelled. So far both races of this series have been called off at the last minute because of course conditions. I will find out if it is rescheduled and update again.

Chris Vachon replied to Robert Jones's discussion 'Opinions for new mt bike build'

I am less an expert than Hector. I think that Titus is a good buy. Also I have done a bit of wheel research lately because I was in the market. I think the most popular wheels right now are the Mavic Crossmax SLRs; they run around $1000. I became a…

I was actually a little relieved that day. It was a last minute commitment from me and I did not feel like my legs had a good race in them. We will find the right Boos this year.

We discovered the town namers lack of creativity the hard way. I think deep down inside Chris is harboring some anger because of this.

Hola Jeremy. My first love is my mountain bike, but I enjoy cycling in general so it will not be hard for you to find some company out on the road either. The spring weather can't come fast enough!

Indoor Training

The Sufferfest! Check out www.thesufferfest.com for my favorite indoor cycling workout. This guy does a great job bringing a workout, cool video, and good music together. Don't forget the towel; you will surely need it.

Sorry more of us aren't around, Kevin. Several of us are deployed right now and missed your visit by about a month. I guess we will see you when you get back to Spang. Enjoy the rest of your time in sunny Kuwait.

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
