Excitment at the Teva games but no mtb race??
Hey peeps.
After yesterdays snow caused the cancelation of our cross country mountain bike race the promoters decided to give us something to do so they added a mtb class to the vail pass hill climb. Martini got schooled by 40 year old dude with knobbie tires. I won and Brian Smith got 2nd so not bad.
Other goings on included;
The Trek VW "we wish we where mtn biking" trainer jamm session.
I found out Nat Ross stole a steam roller when he was a kid and went on a rampage.
The rocky mountain mechanic got arrested for nudity at the a Everest awards.
Jonathan Mobily from VW gave rap ledgend hump de hump a ride home while he was making out with a roller durby harlet.
Hung with Fred from Velo news a little, he raced the kill climb and he told me that Vannilla Gurrilla was on Mike Closers winning adventure race team. WoW what a nick name. Dave Wiens is who he was refering to.
Here is Martini (Nick Martin, Trek/VW rocky mtn team) for a few words about the odd weekend:
Well the homme that took me to school was supposedly on a mtb w/ knobs... I mean come on.... I guess physics don't count here at altitude in Vail. I am hoping that it was a mistake in timing/results but if it is true I would personally like to meet this mystery man from Breckenridge and shake his hand. Oh yeah, and I am going on a diet. What does a brother have to do, I quit my job, sleep like a bear, eat power gel and pb sandwitches, take my vitamins, buy that stupid ti bolt kit, and get taken to school by some "old man power", boy I feel great about myself!
Alright my selfless plug, I am starting a mtb lifestlye diary page about what it like to be at the back of a pro field as a struggling pro, surfing couches, working your way up, and loving the singletrack lifestyle. It isn't up yet but check it out in a month for my daily stories at www.ridewithnickmartin.com. I am taking my camera and computer to the back of the pack and let you know what JB's backside looks like as he is dropping my skinny white tan-lined booty. Apparantly after this weekend I have my work cut out for me. Best of Rides.
JB sums up the weekend with these final words, "There was a lot of stuff that went down this weekend.... just no mountain biking. Hmmm weird". Oh yeah and by the way the Rocky Mtn Team is taking donations to get their Mechanic out of Jail in Vail, bond is $600 and anything is appreciated! Shep's Mom misses him!
