Tech

I had a lot of fun at the Cannondale international sales meeting and learned more about the incredible plans that Cannondale has for the next year. You'll just have to stay tuned to find out more!

 

Here's a look at the worlds fasted townie! Now I just need some PBR stickers! There were so many cool bikes for 2010, but you will have to wait untill the cat comes out of the bag!

I had a fantastic time meeting all of the dealers and sharing the excitement about the new product line with the hard working team from Cannondale. And we all had a great time on the trails! I think everyone enjoyed the Raw Revolution bars and new EMV that I snuck into the show. 

Before heading out of Park City, I stopped by White Pine Touring to load up on some last minute supplies for the Breck Epic and Marathon Nationals. Talk about an awesome touring shop! (More photos are up in the Gallery.)

Check out Dave's preview of the race ahead...

It's going to be a busy week as I get ready for the most exciting part of the year... summer time racing!

EMV Product Launch!

The MonaVie Cannondale Team was honored to present MonaVie's newest product EMV. Lasers, fireworks and 3,500 people filled the Salt Palace Convention Center. It was simulcasted in 12 different languages around the World!

The dude on the right likes doing 720's off cliffs, I just like riding for 7 hours twenty. Ha ha ha. Both are dangerous over the top and fun. With EMV's special product mantra "healthy sustained energy" I think we have the makings of a long lasting relationship because we live the healthy lifestyle and don't need the preservatives and chemicals of other drinks and most importantly epic racing requires staying power!

Father's Day was also our team photo shoot. Conrad is scoping out some sponsors so we had him join in on the shoot! What a ham!

Erin, the little guy and I are having a fun rocky mountain adventure. (More pics from the photo shoot and convention are up in the Gallery! And, if you like the new stars and stripes jersey and bibs, you can get them too.)

Well keep ya posted on what is next!

Go Team

Here is a little photo from an awesome afternoon ride on the mountains flanking Salt Lake City. Alders and Mitchell Missed out, Ohran was busy using his Bissell to clean sewage from his basement and Bart, Ben and I were jamming on rad trails! Not fair is it?

Next stop; another great ride on the Wasatch Crest Trail. 

Later Peeps.

Running from the Storms.

A fun intro to altitude racing the Pro XTC in Colorado Spring this weekend. After a less than desirable start I a got on a group lead by Ryan Trebon. The whole downhill was single track so passing was not an option for much of the race. I was glad to finish just inside the top 10 and catch some nice air on the DH.

After the race I rode back to Sam Jurekovic house on the bike route. I got slammed by the worst hail in recent memory! It felt like rubber bullets! I took shelter from the lightning and dime sized hail under some dudes porch!

Hoo Ha

The Hoo Ha is all grown up, at 21 years old, not only was there beer, but a higher level of production than I usually see at this festival cowboy style race. There were huge white tents, concessions being sold by the mtb club, and over $17,000 raised by Team IMBA. Congratulations, we did it! I was lucky enough to have a great race. I was able to stay out of trouble and put together a strong and smooth ride to pull together a winning performance.

Over pre-race breakfast, Dave (14th in his first national pro XC race) managed to predict the top-5 exactly. Colt managed to get 12 hours of sleep AND get amazing video coverage while staying at our house for the weekend. Kenny and George at Massanutten have a heck of a lot of clean up. Haywood is back in black and won the super D by a rumored 6 minutes, and won the XXC! The racecourse was amazing, technical, gnarly backcountry type racing that I wish there was more of. Having a great event like this nearby really makes me wish there were more races right here in Harrisonburg because we sure do put on a good show! Josh enjoyed hanging out with the Red Bull and Golden Bike girls, Ryan Fawley gave Vincent a run for the gold bike, but alas..

The scene was great, and the ride was awesome.

Check out the videos on my new favorite website, cyclingdirt.com. Sorry, Fred Dreir. Ha ha ha...

Trail work.

Hey ya!

I was thinking racing the local Kenda East Coast Cup at Massanutten would be a breeze this weekend but it seems busier than a National race. The Daily News record interview. Chatting with Jim Wannamaker of Kenda and Massanutten Director of Ops Kenny Hess along with Colt of Cycling dirt over some lunch. Some trail tuning with Thomas, Ryan Fawley and Whitney. I even talked Colt into picking up a shovel, ha ha ha. If you stay at my house there may be a price! LOL.

Thanks to announcer Bruce Dickman for lending hand on the trail work yesterday. Everyone is catching the IMBA trail bug.

Looks like Colt has lined up a moto and a quad to enhance his coverage of the race. Hmmm Guess I better ride fast..

Should be a good time this weekend and ton of riders stuff to do and bikes to demo.

See ya at the HOO HA!!!

Team IMBA Time!

Erin, here... Okay, friends and fellow mountain bikers, we only have a few days left until the HooHa, and that means it's crunch time for Team IMBA fundraising. Once we rally $500, SRAM will MATCH those funds! We've gotta take advantage of this great opportunity for our local trails. If you're reading this, and I've got the stats to prove there's over 2,000 of you each day, then you know how important the trails are, and what a significant role IMBA plays in advocating for and building them. We hope you'll kick in just $5 or $10 towards the cause. And to sweeten the deal, I'll make sure Jeremiah sends an autographed jersey for the person or organization to make the biggest donation between now and Saturday morning at 9 a.m. In the meantime, big shout outs to Advantage Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, Jeff Haden at BlackBird Media and Mike Van Abel for jump starting the fundraising. We're over a quarter of the way to our goal of $1,000!

Thanks!

Erin, Jeremiah and Conrad

(Here's a recap post of Jeremiah's TEAM IMBA blog:)

One of the cross country races I look forward to each summer is the Massanutten Hoo-Ha. This year the event is celebrating it's twenty-first running and teaming up with IMBA as a Team IMBA Event. The Hoo-Ha is also a stop on the Kenda Cup East series and will feature some great new trails built by hard working members of the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition, so there are tons of reasons why the twenty-first annual Hoo-Ha is going to be better than ever!

I've joined the SVBC Team IMBA as a great way for me to partner with my club to shoot for a fundraising goal that will continue the good work that IMBA and the SVBC are all about.

Just think, each trail that is properly built, maintained and enjoyed responsibly now is one that will still be going strong when Conrad is ready to head out on a ride of his own!


The next generation!

I hope to reach my goal with your support. Every $10 contribution will add up to make a big difference. To donate, and learn more about Team IMBA and the SVBC, check out my Team IMBA page.

Thanks for your support, I hope to see you at the Hoo-Ha! Look for me at the MonaVie-Cannondale.com tent!
