Bay the Bike

This is Rik's Torker MX (26")bike. Its older than me

Its pretty red

On Saturday while everyone else was biking to the bay. We installed new flooring in the shop area.

Looks Sharp

These stink bugs Stink!! and they are everywhere!

John also brought in his RC truck. It provided some great entertainment. It can go 60mph, but never gets past 45mph b/c its too light and flips over. It also has led headlights. He could have bought a XTR crank set for his bike....but instead he got a RC car.

Today I rode XC @ brandywine in the rain w/ Incognito........It was wet!

Going to Dewey beach for a week. The last time I was there was senior week 2002.
Gonna ride some road, drink Dog Fish Head beer, tour the brewery, eat @ the Dog Fish head restaurant.

Whiteface 5K Downhill Race

After 6hrs of driving north Whiteface showed itself

So I drove from Wilmington,DE to Wlimington,NY

A nice garden on the Gondola to the top

Half way up

The top of Little Whiteface

Lake Placid

Walking the course...checking out my lines

History was once made here!

The Pit for the weekend.
Thanks to the Mulally family for providing a trailer, shelter, food, and a work stand(I bent rear rotor, broke a deraileur hanger, deraileur, and shifter. So I had to install new ones(had to deal with the broke shifter, didn't bring a spare), plus I put on some fresh tires(always bring 2 of everything...shit happens).

The flume. We hit this up every night after practice. What a great why to end the day.

Jumping in

Most of the DHers made their way over here. it was fun hanging out with everyone and jumping off rocks.

Parker

Pre Race Dinner

I watched Wedding Crashers in French...I had no idea what he was saying either

I heard music across the street from the motor inn i was staying @. I took a few Lake Placid brews over and checked it out

Let My baby Ride...The devil gonna get you

Before the race I had a few things wrong with my bike,I had only 2 gears(a 15t and a 14t) that worked because of a broken shifter and I had a slow leak in my front tire. I paid over $120 to race this fucker, I was going to finish no matter what. I started to feel a little nervous before it was my time to race, Then I felt someone kick my rear tire and tell me good luck! Thanks Neko, I needed that kick, .
I survived the Whiteface 5K. I came in dead last in the sport 19-29 class, 5 guys DNSed in my class. The staging lady said, "They must be scared"
Next year, Whiteface, Next year I'm coming for you!
