IT's true, Northstar is now open for bizz. We were first in line (within a person or two) and got a chance to check it out and ride the new stuff on lower mountain. The upper mountain won't open until late June, but the lower stuff is pretty fun. Count on finding me up there this summer.. I shot some vid from my GoPro helmet cam... enjoy!

Holy Cow Time Flys!
I can't believe we're pushing into the end of May already! Damn! Cool24 came and went in a hurry but not without glamour and fortune (well, maybe a little less than that).. The MAd Cat Single-Speed A-Team (my Team consisting of Robert Ives, Ken Mederios, Rich Nielsen and myself) gave it our all. We had a super clean race, no mechanicals, no crashes, super fast laps and good collaboration and teamwork. We rallied for 24hrs straight, taking turns at bringing home the bacon. Rich pulled some 57 min. laps, I pulled a 58 and 59.. it was cool. In the end, we came in 2nd place against Dan Tebbs and the Victory Velo crew. Not bad considering they are some fast riders. I'm cool with second and completely happy with the results.
Since Cool, I've been doing some road rides, racing PC and working my ass off. As of today, I've commited to a ride schedule for the next 6 weeks to get me ready for Death Ride. Miles, rides, diet, you name it. I'm going to give it my all. After that... it's Cyclocross time.
The shop has been rocking with business, events, promotions and overall craziness. It never really stops being crazy, but sometimes it's a bit more in control. I feel like were sitting on the front of a magic carpet that is whizzing around Sac on autopilot sometimes. It hasn't crashed yet and it seems to know where to turn, but who knows what it's going to do next. It's fun.
The Team is rocking the PC races right now! We're are set up to have quite a few folks on the podium at the Series end. Exciting for them, exciting for me.
The Swap Meet this weekend was good. Lower turnout, maybe from the heat, but all the vendors had a good time and sold a ton of stuff. The team sold some stuff and the shop got rid of a few things in the back room. That's about all we needed to accomplish.
Rest time for the Papa. Peas out.
El Papa Gato.
