WTF Dude... Me, Brian, now you... these ticks are taking people out..

 

[jShort]

When can we stop saying Natz? Who started that? Shit man

I didn't say it

 

[jShort]

Holy cats! You called that. Sorry that tick tanked your Natz. OTOH, you're so much more attuned to how your engine should be running vs how it IS running that you're getting it solved early. (He says, hoping he's right?)
Can you race in this next year? Just til Natz.

Yeah looking back, I must have gotten bit the weekend of the Port Jervis race or a few days before. The Tuesday afterwards was when shit went down hill.

 

[jShort]

bad timing - but you put it out there.
love reading that, talking yourself into feeling better, telling yourself to finish.
mental mettle.

quick recovery, cause 'cross....

i gotta look at your rides, now that i'm going out of Clinton some days

I'm a believer of mind over matter. Or more specifically, I think a lot of our issues are mental to begin with.

You talking MTb or road bike?

WTF Dude... Me, Brian, now you... these ticks are taking people out..

This is the 2nd and possibly 3rd time I've dealt with this shit.

 

[Patrick]

You talking MTb or road bike?

.

Yes.

i've seen that back way into vorhees, and the connection out the back of the hs. haven't ridden it yet.

looking for a road loop around spruce run without too much rt 31 involved. may also head up to hampton,
and come back through asbury, and pick one of the nasty climbs.

i came down old farm rd today - think i'll try going up it next time.

Here's a good video that shows some of the course...hosted by CXhairs Bill Schieken

Bummer on the Lyme,
but great season and way to push through feeling shitty.

Glad you caught it early (right?)
Heal up soon, looking forward to some great cross recaps.

 

[MadisonDan]

Sorry to hear @jShort
That surely explains a lot of your feels.

 

[Patrick]

I like this loop - https://www.strava.com/activities/1047084224/ (nice job on the PRs)

up the point mt climb, and then along teetertown ravine - looks to be about 8 miles to get to from clinton, crossing 31 at school ln.

any modifications?

 

[UtahJoe]

Well that sucks man, I guess its not unlike a crash or injury given where we live and what we do....bound to happen sooner or later.

 

[stb222]

Damn, sorry to hear about the Lymes. Lymes is quickly becoming the 2017 excuse for racers not doing well.

Srs though, fast recovery

 

[Mitch]

No excuse. Feel better and work harder.. ;*)

 

[Dominique]

It sucks to hear about the Lymes but it's good to have figured out why you felt shitty!

 

[Magic]

Seriously, fuck ticks. With all the early season reports I was so skittish to ride, but then I got swamped with school and couldn't find the time anyway. When I did, I was careful not to rub up against bushes or stop for a while. The day after Stewart 45, after already checking myself and showering, I found a tiny one on the back of my knee. Hate the things.

Get better soon Jeremy!

Love the color...

 

[jShort]

Love the color...

Thanks. Me too. I think I'm going to get an orange fox fork on it by race season. Should look pretty sick.

Sweet! Orange fork puts u in team colors! The 2017 models are heavily discounted in Jenson. Getting new valors?

 

[Pearl]

Came expecting cyclocross things, didn't leave disappointed

 

[Magic]

Hell yeah Fox orange fork! And another Valor! Unless the front is taking a crosscation.
