Bike Trouble!!!

Turns out both Don Sissions and my carbon fiber Jamis Dakar XCR Team frames have cracks in the frame. Sounds like Don has a new frame except the rear triangle coming.Dale has to send pics of my cracks to Jamis and see what they want to do. Good thing i decided to rebuild the Scott because it might be a while before i ride the Jamis again.

Trainer workout today( hills) and 6 miles on the snowshoes.

Finally starting to shake my cold.

Its been a rough few days, stupid cold.Got back on the trainer today still stuffed up but felt good(intervals). I also worked, got a hair cut and stopped buy the local bike shop to get a few things( new tire pump ,tire gauge ,grease gun ,grease ,chainstay protector ,and some spare brake pads. My Scott is almost done, it is in my basement and all together but i am waiting for a few more things that i ordered on ebay to come so i can finish it up.

Dreaming of the best race ever!

Imagine if you will rolling hills good for gears or single speed. Lush forest trees. Hot desert like temps. Cabins along the route for rest/feed stations. Sound good so far,of course it does. Imagine again if you will 24 hrs of Spruce Woods. It doesn't hurt to dream (does it). Maybe some day we can get a bunch together and do it for fun like the blundered 100? Now i must go back to dreaming bye bye for now.
