Mohican 100


I just registered today and couldn't be more excited! LINK
It looks like I'll be taking a different approach to my race schedule for 2009. Funds are thin and I want to maximize my mile per dollar ratio by doing longer events and cutting out the CPS races from my schedule. The shorter USAC XC events that fill the calendar here in Michigan are great for conditioning and I hope to fill the void between the endurance events with a few of these events. My goal will be to complete at least 4 of the events of the NUE (National Ultra Endurance) calendar to place in the overall standings. I better start training...

Nutella Hazelnut spread



I have been yearning to try this product for a long time and finally took the plunge and regret not trying this stuff sooner. Nutella is wonderful! With it's roots in Europe, Nutella is a staple on the breakfast tables of professional cycling teams loading up for a long day in the saddle.

Description:

Too much is not enough, when it comes to this chocolate flavoured hazelnut spread. It can make anything taste good and the best things taste unbelievable. Bread, a rye cracker, fruit, a Parisian crepe, a teaspoon, or simply your very own finger - whatever is at hand, you'll be tempted to dip it into this pot of sinful creamy goo.

The brand is pretty significant too, because imitations don't always get the hazelnut side of the equation right. (Trader Joe's own brand chocolate hazelnut spread is no comparison, for example.)

Tour Down Under

Man alive, it 80+ degrees in Australia right now and the Tour Down Under had just kicked off with the Cancer Council Classic benefit on Sunday. Lance is back and Robbie McEwin takes the win. It's great to see bike racing again!

Hell Yes Sprints Feb. 9 + 23

Hell Yes! I love this site and look forward to checking out this event in Feb. I think I really want to go just to have a few of those $1.00 PBR's.

Addison Oaks XC video.

I found this video from last Fall's Addison Oaks XC. Matt does a great job producing these and generally walks the race course while filming. This looks like the Sport class. I see a lot of teammates featuring the blue plaid of our team kits. I like the Led Zeppelin and enjoy seeing the green forest again.
