CHECK OUT THE SELF PROCLAIMED "WORLDS TOUGHEST CHICK" ON ATTEMPT NUMBER TWO...BRUTAL SLAP DOWN!

NEW CX BIKE FOR 2008....THIS THING WILL RIP OVER THE BARRIERS!

AND I THOUGHT I HAD ALOT OF FREE TIME

AND THEN THERE IS THIS AMAZING VIDEO FROM THE HELMET CAM OF JIM GENTES

Amazingly enough, this guy started at the back of my group in our KCCX National Championship bid, he started in about 50th place and finished 6th. Check out the windblown snow on the frozen road at the start...IT WAS GNARLY! Jim had some amazing skills this day as evidenced by his start here and taking so many riders, including myself 1:04 of the video when I got "pinched" to the outside on the left, ya can't miss the Red Coat! Super cool video and a great memory.

THANKS FOR THE "MORE COWBELL" FANS!

SUPER TRIPLE TOP SECRET HYDRATION PLAN REVEALED

This is Uma K. Super cool roadie snow kitty who resides in Portland, Oregon, home to world class cyclocross freeks and also now the home of Eagle County transplant Ryan McFarling, who most definitely was born with the mentally deficient Cyclocross Gene.

Anyway, Uma let me in on this triple top secret Portland hydration program, head to the mountains outside Portland on a day when it is DUMPING snow and consume as many snowflakes before they hit the ground as you possibly can, this in turn will turn you into mega strong fast barrier hopping cross racer person. Funny, I thought the program was to consume as many Guinness as possible during the week and show up at the race with your eyes looking like piss holes in the snow to be successful, maybe it's time for a new program? Thanks Uma, you da bomb!

DO NOT MISS MY PICK OF THIS YEAR'S DICKWEED OF THE YEAR COMING SOON!

HEY LOOK AT ALL THOSE ELK!!

THE EAGLE RANCH ELK HEARD

4 BACK HOES 200 YARDS AWAY, I GUESS PRETTY SOON THESE ELK WILL BE ABLE TO EAT A BURGER AND DRINK A BEER AT THE BREW PUB BEFORE CATCHING A MOVIE....SWEET.

THE VIEW OF THE ELK HEARD BEHIND HEAVY EQUIPMENT

I find it simply amazing while looking at these pictures I took today in Eagle Ranch that the "open space" just outside of Eagle Ranch is closed to recreational activity certain times of the year due to the fact that the powers that be, who sleep with the corporate monster that are responsible for monopolizing the Eagle Ranch concept, seem to make rules which cater to their own wants and needs. Seems the public is guilty of disturbing these ELK during calving season in the public "open space". I've been told that "we" stress the animals out too much to allow us to use the public land we pay to use. Funny, at a time when these Elk need to be flourishing while foraging for food during the winter months so they can be strong enough to calve in "open public" space during the spring time, they have been forced to feed on this soccer field and seek refuge from the construction which continues to crush their winter habitat. But no biggie right? As long as the developers continue to make the big bucks, it's all OK. I mean, how on earth do you get the ok to dig GIANT holes in a winter Elk Habitat, and get shut down for rolling silently on single track on fat, soft, rubber tires? Go figure. This herd of Elk is so stressed out with people gauking at them while walking their dogs both leashed and unleashed all day while at the same time losing all of their food habitat it's a bloody joke to think the Mt Bikers of this community are disturbing them in the spring when they head for the dark timber far away from any single track which has ever been ridin. But ya know, as long as you are under the covers on the right side of the bed, it's all good, right folks?

MERRY CHRISTMAS THROW BACK STYLE...MY FAV.
