BRIDGE DOWN!

Thank you Hagg Lake for warning me about the downed bridge.

First post-mono ride=SUCCESS!!!

First post mono ride this weekend, felt great. I rode up at Henry Hagg Lake after hearing that there was some moderate single track with not much climbing. I show up at the park with my Dad, me on the Longbow, him on a Giant Sedona (comfort bike) that's how confident I was that it would be an easy ride. Well we get riding and start with a huge hill, way more climbing than I thought. then some flowing single track that was nice but huge mud pits that if you weren't careful could stop you in your tracks. Well a moderate trail turned into a expert trail with many logs in the trail and even a downed bridge. Nothing the Longbow couldn't handle. But I felt great. 20ish mile ride in the end and I felt great. If i had that energy at the Hood River Super D I think I could have made podium. Oh well. Pictures following.

Longbow Build!!!!!!!!

Plans Changed, Going with the production Longbow and a Shimano/Fox/PRO/KS/Intense build. Should be sick.

Ashland 12-mile is a no go for me

So I heard bad news today, I'm not allowed to do any physical activity for the next 3-4 weeks because of my mono. I had an ultrasound to check my organs and it turns out I have an enlarged liver and spleen, and if I were to crash or even just by applying pressure to it I could rupture it and possibly die. Its unfortunate but I have to live with it now. Should be good to go for the races next month though.
