Hola
The Tour of Utah has come and gone. Might as well been the Tour of Antarctica for me since I did not make it to a single stage. I did see a Rock Racing bus on my way to the cube farm one day though. Anyway, the 801 was well represented with Brothere Louder taking the win and Brother Swindlehurst 4th. Snake told me that Stage 2 started like a crit, then got hard. Ouch. If Snake says it is hard then it is a world of pain that few can imagine. Sounds like the race had it all. Climbing, wind, and even fisticuffs.
I think the heat of Bejing may be getting to Sven Nys. According to Velonews Brother Nys had this to say of the Olympic MTB race. “Being here beats every cyclocross for the rest of my life. It gives me goose bumps.” Better than cross? Blasphemy. I am sure when he gets back to the rains of Belgium he will come to his senses.
I will be chasing my own dreams of dirty glory at the American Mountain Classic begining tomorrow. It is not better then cross, but it will be fun. Hopefully I will have a wireless connection so I can bore you all with tales from the middle of the pack.

Reverand,
Cross sucks, crits rule. Wait…isn’t cross just a crit in the dirt. I guess cross isn’t the devil’s handiwork after all. Throw some love this way: http://itsallaboutthebike.com
