This is a test

Figure 1: My Avatars – Side by Side

Here is a bigger picture

The big event is happening as we speak down in Utah. Check out the photos on the Red Bull Rampage website-these are some of the best mountain bike photos I have seen in a long time by Hylands and co. NSMB also has a few new pics. I wish I was there. Some of those shots scare the hell out of me-check out that Doerfling kid going ass over tea kettle from way up high closing in on the Utah hardpack/rock/dirt on the NSMB site-scary. It reminded me of that Wade Simmons TV ad on safety and helmuts.

Calling all riders of the BMBA. We will be there again in 2009 to Feel the Pain and get some monkeys off my back. This race is a classic and some old guys would love to invite riders of the BMBA to challenge themselves next year. There is also a shorter new course called the CC Pique Lite race from the bungy zone to Dustys(if you want to call 42 km of uphill riding a lite race). This race is not for everyone but is a great goal for those who want to test their will and endurance. Check out the CC website. We had a great Whistler weekend and I will fill you in on next post

I was riding gear jammer and then on to Jims Jungle when we (my dogs and I) came upon a rather large black bear.  It took off down toward the stream.  Just a note to let people it is out there.
