Gunnison Growler and the Dog
The Gunnison local growler series started up while we were in Vegas last week, and we joined in with race #2 this evening. Hartman's rock's area is in such good shape and so are the Gunnison/ Crested butte locals.. perpetually!
It was a lung buster, technical skills, single track racing and fun all rolled into one. I often end up duking it out with several single speed in these races, mismatched bikes allow me to catch on the big ring portions and have the 'hurt' put to me on the climbs. Tonight I made a guy hang out behind me for too long and when I did finally let him by saw he was on a single speed. Oops that's not cool.. On my part.
On to the d o double g. Brian woke me at 5.15 yesterday. "Max has run off and I've got to meet Wick' ( to ski) Can imagine how psyched I was with that.. Wednesday is trash day too... damn it.. damn dog.
1 hour 30 looking for the dog in the semi dark in to morning, we gave up and realised it would be ugly. 8am in comes the fat double wide boy. burping and thirsty with something resembling turkey grease or a toxic oil spill from his head , down his neck and legs!
Needless to say the remenants have been nasty, last night was a 4 x interupted one, and today was extra nasty surprise in the lounge. Revolting...
Also needless to say the boy has been bathed and is extra sweety maxwell dog all day today.
He knows.
Wonder why we don't have any additional children?

Leaving Las Vegas
The opening race of the US cup Xterra series was held yesterday in Las Vegas. Interesting venue for an off road triathlon.. the USA man made city.
What a place Vegas is. The epitomy of most things I don't believe in.. unsustainable, consumerism to the max, man made excess. the rant could go and go.
People were extremely hospitable and friendly. Marty and Larry Simmons kindly hosted Brian, Brandyn and I.
Sunset racing put on a put together brutal event in Lake Las Vegas ( very clean water) and surrounding dirt. I say dirt as nothing grows out there... beyond the irrigated landscaping.
Chris met and rode with us on the course top meet insurance rules with the private property and organised tickets to Cirque de solei KA show. FUN!
Bran and I shopped, Trader Joes and the Henderson Whole foods.. ( a whole food store on steriods.. of course its Vegas.. pretty fun for foodies!).
Then there was the racing. Not too spectacular. Brian and I where both 8th. Lots to improve on. I felt like one speed steady Jenny. But as its the beginning of a long season it may be a very good thing as we progress. We've been doing this for a long time, a little hunger is good for us.
Today its back to the Earth in St George , Gooseberry Mesa and Zion national park. No highway 15 today.. we are taking the back road home.

time to change the scenery
I have my camera on this trip and will take pictures, I promise. I think its time to move the Gothic in Jan header on our site and substitute a South West in the spring picture.
I am in Aztec, getting ready to leave for Vegas tomorrow morning, with Brandyn. Excited, its the opening race of the 2009 Xterra US cup series on Saturday.
Ready? I will find out.
Brian.. he's always ready. its his style.
Stay tuned.. we'll keep updated as we go.
cheers

How not to hold a dog
When I ride with Max, I hold his leash really loosely as he likes to stop dead cold at piece's of road interest..
Last week I rode with him the leash strung in my fingers. Well he stopped alright and it wrenched my middle finger sideways and backwards. It HURT.
10 days later and I still have an exceptionally sore finger. Seems uber silly and I've been putting off getting it further checked out. The thing is I've realised how much I use it. swimming: middle finger. Typing, driving, changing and hand pumping a tire.
The worst activity shimano xtr shifting. Of course as its my right hand, its the rear too.
It made me remember the ad campaign when XTR, STI was first released.. middle finger's.
cheers
