Kung Fu Noodles

Congratulations to Dennis Smith for using every square inch of trail at Iron Hill in his design of an amazing course. Dennis is one of two men, Thayer Seese being the other, who know the trails at Iron Hill better than anyone.  When that knowledge comes together, it makes both of them very tough to beat. Ironhill holds a pretty special place in my heart as far as bike racing goes. I am excited to race Ironhill again for the first time in maybe 5 years.  More history later. For now here is the masterpiece that Dennis has come up with:


We had a hell of a nice group to survey the course this morning. It was Dennis, Buddy the leg breaker, Travis the beginner, Nick Sears, Garvey, Travis S, 1/2 of the glimmer twins (Doyle), and LWeb. Hoyle started out with us but decided to do a derailer adjustment/removal about 1/3 into the lap.

As always it was jungle hot in the woods of Ironhill and resulted in some blurry pictures.

Other than that it was a pretty mellow weekend. Got to hang out with the ladies a bit:
