New Bling


The latest addition to my sweet ride. If this doesn't shame me into riding faster, I don't know what will.

I've got five weeks until my first race, and Jim Thomas of Texas already has a podium under his belt. Those folks at sea level have got it made for early season racing. Congrats, Jim!!!

Ok Marty..
Where do I get a "shame " gold cap?

I think Jim Thomas really put the pressure on the rest of the Dirt Family racers!!!
Durango has snow in the forecast for the next 3 days...

Marty said...

Aw, man, that sucks about the snow! We have more coming here, too... Good thing I left the studded snow tires on the car and the trainer set up in the living room. :)

The gold cap is a limited edition, I think; I got it because I wrote a story about the Golden Bike Series for Mountain Flyer Magazine. Speaking of which, you're racing the Firecracker, right?

Mountain Flyer is a great mag..nice work..

Yes, I am planning on doing the Firecracker.
Are you considering racing Mountain States' Rabbit Valley ?

Marty said...

I think I will do Rabbit Valley. My fitness isn't the greatest yet do to my back injury, but it should be really fun to do nonetheless. Are any of the other DC riders going to be there, do you know? We'll have to see how many tents the promoter will let us put in the hot zone. :)

Good training photo...
We can do one GT Dirt tent and trade off duty. Most likely I'll be camping out there.
I will contact the other Colorado DC riders and see...
