Still playing catch up...

Wooh. Gearheads was fun. I spent quite a bit of money to have dirt jumps and a bad ass track built in a 65,000 sq ft arena and invite all my friends but hey, you only live once.

To all the peeps and sponsors who came out to play and sell some stuff I hope you enjoyed it. It will happen again only we are going to do it a little differently. As most of you know I would love to see some more cool events happening in this town and if have my way Gearheads will improve with age like a fine wine, and I am truly grateful for the companies and individuals who came out to test my first batch.

After only getting a few hours of sleep over the course of several days and taking three weeks off the bike due to working like a madman and destroying my knees on Laurel Mtn Trail it was time to come off the couch and race PMBAR. I was a little worried that my girl would rip my legs off somewhere deep in Pisgah but the race ran smooth and we had a great time. I have no idea how we finished but I am willing to bet that our route offered more single track and fun lines than anyone in the top ten. If you are racing PMBAR then gravel roads are the way to go. If you are enjoying PMBAR, then you do the whole Black Mtn trail twice, make decisions based on what would be the FUN way to go and stop and enjoy some creek time and overlooks. I know we could do that any day of the week but riding 65 miles and climbing around 14,000 ft in elevation is something you rarely do "just because".

With Gearheads and PMBAR behind me I can now focus on getting back to my Real Estate Business. Spring is bringing out some buyers and sellers along with the spring flowers and I looking forward to doing something I am familiar with rather than creating from scratch like Gearheads. As for riding, I plan on one week off the bike before starting to train for this years enduro and by training for the enduro I mean, drinking, riding anything and everything I can think of, and building up an enduro bike worthy of hanging on to my title of MBAMBW. The Enduro will take place on June 13-14 so mark it down on your calendars and get ready to both suffer and smile.

That's all for now, I have work to do..
