Gary Fisher road bike?...uh-oh.

I overheard today @ my new bike shop ,that the man known as the founding father of mountain biking and genesis design, will possibly be releasing a road bike. This is a credible source, being that the owner of BikeBeat is not only a top 100 dealer in America, but has four TREK concept stores where 80% of the merch is TREK. This rumor started out as Klein was supposed to be brought back into the picture, after Lemond went splitsville from TREK Corp. Evidently not, according to the owner, who personally had chatted it up with the Gary Fisher marketing advisor. The possibility of Klein's Quantum labeled as Gary Fisher is increasingly evident. First day on the job and already some breaking news. Trek show is coming up so watch out for some crazy details . Late!

..Stella got her groove back...

It was a great weekend of riding for me. Road,BMX and MTB.Saturday morning I had a great group road ride and felt pretty consistent. I rode pretty strong and almost felt like i had a lot more left, but I had to save my energy for work. After i got off from the bike shop, i left and went directly to the Hampton Supertrack for the night race. I missed registration , but was still able to get in a couple good gates. I even snuck into a moto and confused the heck out the scorers. After the race, it was open track practice, and I deciced to do something I hadn't done in a while ...Jump... The photo above was taken by ** Jonnhyculbreth.com ** Great pic man. Sunday went down as such. 1.Went to the beach 2.Walked the dog 3. Went riding with Micah 4. Stopped by KB's crib to chat it up 5. Met Guillermo @ the Norfolk Pagoda downtown. 6. Rode to Waterside 7.Took the Elizabeth River trail back to Tortilla West for a couple cold ones...and that's where the story ends. Overall great weekend .

Happy Birthday Amy?

July 27th was my fiance's (Amy) birthday and she choose to do the Back Bay to False Capes bike ride. For those of you are familiar with this ride, you know that you can ride from Va. Beach to NC via by way of trail and beach. We bit off a little more than we could chew. Amy's father also rode with us and was helping us conquer this long and arduous task. Rationing water and food(because of my poor planning) didn't help us much either, as we were all sun burnt ,dehydrated, and tired from already hiking 8 mi. in 4 inch deep sand. When we decided to head back to our cars we stopped and asked some random old fogies how to get back because, not only did we have the wrong map, we also couldn't ride on the beach anymore because high tide made riding in the sand unbearable. We made a big mistake by asking them where to go because it ended up being the worst 6 mi. hike/bike through swamp water ever. Knee deep in brown, snake infested water we followed this service road until we saw a main road ahead. One problem. 30 feet of 4 ft deep swamp water. W.T.H. is what I thought @ that point, and in a split second decision we marched through it Vietnam style. Low and behold the ranger station and the fresh water drinking fountain were only inches away from the road. AHHHH!!! Only to find out that we had followed the beach parallel the whole time. Moral of the story is keep truckin you never kno what box of chocolates your gonna get.

TOUR AKSHUN!
