...i hope to clear my head in the saddle better than i ever have. i hope i melt that cold solid block of ore of stress so it flows out of me. i hope to reset myself on my bike so i'm not a dick when i'm in a bad mood. i hope to actually feel grateful when i'm out and that i'm healthy - like actually healthy. i plan on not letting riding get in the way of my family life, but letting riding get in the way of my work life. i hope to ride with some more people this year, have more night rides from my house (and therefore drink some beers afterward with people too) and just have a better time on the bike.
Not Dead!I thought H2H was dead. Is this not true?
So maybe you don't have to race to have fun but have fun racing. Let's do some EndurosView attachment 61366
I'll be working on re-gaining my confidence (and fitness) after my #bumthumb this past summer/fall. I'll be back on the big bikes and maybe hit some enduro/DH races although not 100% sure I need to race to have fun. What I am considering is racing BMX since there is a track practically in my backyard. Oh and I'll be coaching NICA.

Coincidentally, I was just telling the story of how you gave @JohneeOxford and me a tour of WayWay back in '10. You were riding that root beer SS/Rigid Gary Fisher and killing it. I did an epic OTB into a chunky rock garden and chewed up my leg pretty good. Regardless, had a great time and was thoroughly impressed with you riding SS and rigid there.....actually was an inspiration for me to ride SS.
Happy to hear this is on your calendar for 2018.
I can't say it any better than that so hopefully Clarkenstein won't mind if I borrow some of his inspiration.
I’ll also be doing nats this year and SSusa in port jervis. Nats will be ss and short track.I plan on doing the usual local stuff. H2H and MASS. I'll figure out which exactly when my family plans it's vacations, then I'll work around that. Last year taking off the first week in June seemed to help finish MTB season somewhat strong, till Lyme's. Anyway.
I am planning on heading back to West Virginia for MTB nats in July for XC and maybe short track. I had a blast last year despite being sick and almost DNF'ing. I recommend this event. It's the who's who of xc MTBing in the US.
I also want to do CX nats next December in Louisville, with the usual local stuff leading up to it.
Sexist AF. I expect better than this from MTBNJ.100k of wilderness is called the women’s class
I highly recommend hot yoga this time of year. With the cold temps it feels so nice to get hot, loose an sweaty.Maybe more yoga than last year. Maybe.
Me too lol-Learn how to remount a cross bike betterer.
Hot yoga is awesome. Too bad yoga is so expensive.
