Turbo's Tales

I’m up at my Pa house this weekend and my dad left us like 5 recurves, 3 compound bows and two crossbows. Oh, and an ammo box full of 1/2 sticks View attachment 119107View attachment 119107

Nice!

Was he doing demo? Video when they get "used"

We sent his ashes off on the property where his parents and my mother’s ashes were spread. Smokeless powder and 1/2 sticks may or may not have been involved.

That may or may not have been really awesome .

Is A&M archery still there?? I used to shoot in a league there when I was a wee lad on Tuesday nights.

Yep. Smells like an ashtray. The owner was very patient with my daughter.

Been a while since I posted here...anywho. Some quick updates...

This was my best year racing wise as I got 2nd at the Stoopid 50, 3rd at the Mohican 100 and 30th at the shenandoah 100.

As far as training goes being a stravatard is worth it. I’ve been doing lots of road biking and local competition on segments has been unreal. Hence I have seen drastic changes in my 30 sec, 1min, 5 min and 1 hour power as well as a 10% increase in FTP. Long story short, Davey needs much more top end work than bottom end work. I feel like I am just beginning.

Other factors that have helped are randomness of rides...Beachwood bikes hammer and crit style rides, ss, geared mtb, hour of power and pretty much diversity. I’ll be off the bike for a month and a half or so doing some running and then a couple week break. Then back to basing and the gym.

Did some epic rides this yeatlr and had a lot of fun. Sleep and beer are still a weekness but nutrition seems to be on point. I haven’t touched 200lbs this year which is a first.

I picked up a new whip too and took my time buildi g it. What an amazing bike and so mich improvement over my old Mach 429sl. I went with the Mach 4 sl and it delivers! Even with a 100mm fork it feels so much more capable. Plush, fast and efficient.

Until next time!

It’s been a long time in the making and it’s not a win but it feels like one to me. 2nd place SS at the Wilderness 101.

I'd bet DT uses a microsoft windows phone as they are faster.
Similar to SS, I got nothing.

Well done DT!

Rotary phone definitely takes the cake.

Chris the promoter was breaking my balls because he never knows if I show up on gears or ss. Well now Insold my geared mtb and bought an ssroad/gravel bike because ss is faster if course.

Nice job Dave. A hundo miles on a SS sounds brutal. Finishing in 2nd is a great day.

Thx. The course was brutal on a hardtail. The guy that won was on an sworks epic wc made ss. The descents were white knuckle on 100mm. My wrists and neck are killing me as I type.
