-the people...tom, zach, misty, darrin and the rest of the vassago-supported adrenaline race team
-congrats to tom and zach for destroying the 12 hour solo field
-huge thanks to misty for the support which became a caretaker role
-felt good for a while, definitely didn't go out like i did in boone, ended up 3rd ss 12 hour but suffering from pretty severe dehydration
-zach's mcd's hamburger every lap is the most awesome nutrition plan ever
-this will be an interesting nat'l champ. course next year
-rigid forks suck some places
-vegas seemed even hotter
-met up with zack (different zack) and rebuilt fisty
-dropped fisty off with dane from wtb to be used in the dirt demo
-rode the shuttle to the top to ride big bikes all monday...i love riding that stuff but maybe shouldn't...big crash with a lot of desert style road rash
-spent tuesday on cross country bikes and trails
-indoor show wednesday then cross vegas cyclocross race...definite highlight for me
-big names i either got to talk to or was close enough to spit on...nat ross, brian boyko, ryan leech, cam mccaul, tinker juarez, lance armstrong
-i am beat down and exhausted
-gravel ride yesterday was necessary but brutally difficult for the short route i took
-doctor said nothing competitive for a month...looking toward some cross races and the night race at the end of the month

It was good to see you out there Ben! :) thanks for being awesome - hope you had SOME fun in Vegas.
Way to rip it up in AZ! When will the debauched Vegas photos be posted?
sorry, man...no debauchery. however, i did go to a cross race and a wet t-shirt contest broke out. lance was the winner by far. it was awesome to see hordes of drunks showering him with beer on the run-up.
Ben, Great to meet you and it is great to meet another that will push himself to the point of self destruction. Sorry for all of the poop stories. But I have more if you want them.
zach...as long as the poop stories and mustache stories don't go together then i think we're good.
Ben,still trying to escape the Bike shop to come up to Decorah in the fall.
I have been riding gravel out here but miss your hills.
take care,
