Cracked like Shriver

Well base cracked me this year. I had to take my break a couple day early and i've got 15 hrs left to finish up starting back up tomorrow. I've still been hitting the gym which is starting to not work me over as much. But last week snyder and I had to help TT push his chevy blazer 4 blocks up a false flat which put me into the hurt locker more than the weight room or riding i think ever has. I also got a hair cut went back to my euro hawk from cross season of 06 but it is big this time. My shins started bothering me which i haven't had since i quit running 5 yrs ago. Besides from that snyder and i are heading to saint George for spring break he will be racing and i'll just be finishing up my last 15 hrs of base so it looks like i will be in the feed zone.

The Light @ the end of the tunnel

Durango is in defrost mode right now as i type. After getting hammered with well over 3 feet of snow it is finally warming up and the forecast is looking up if you don't pay attention to this coming thursday. Last week i was able to get the legs and arms out and let them bask in the sun for about 40 min on the najayo dam loop sunday. Very nice.

I've done a couple of rides with this silly looking German Ben.

Mcduff and I hit up DMR for a little snowboard session

In town the snow banks are so high you need to get creative with the bike lock.

According to snyder in another day or so the trails should be in prime condition again to rip up the snowpacked trails.

The mid-base break is over and it is time for the worst 3 weeks of the year. The break was event filled with TT taking 3rd in the hot wing contest. Todd and I hit up DMR on monday for a little snowboarding session. Todd has got me going to the gym now to so let just say it hurts to move in addition to doing 4 to 5 hrs a day on the bike.
O here is the cat who kicks it at Unit 51 Mig. His life revolves around messing with TT.
