SnowDown 2008

That's right i took part in my 1st snowdown event. I took the polar plunge. The 5th Annual Polar Beer Plunge!! I gave it all i had throwing myself into 28 degree beer. If you are a polar beer step down this is the real deal. I left with just a pink hoodie i think i mite but it on e-bay. Here is some photos from snyder. Video from TT coming t-row. Snyder and TT are hitting up the hothothot wing contest t-row. Unit 51 represent snowdown 08!!

D-town stay down

Well i've got two weeks in the books for this years base. The 1st week and half was great putting in the miles in tucson. Todd and I were staying with Dan who thinks he is big time rolling around on these.

Thanks to Dan and his fam for putting up with todd and myself.

I was able to take part in megs big b-day bash sunday night in tucson. We had quite the crew of common criminal's (walker s , sheldon , andy s and his lady friend, ben kneller, todd, meg, dan and his lady trish, doug and his girlfriend). The losers of the night have to go to sam s, shriver, and corey who all where to cool for school.

On tuesday meg and i headed back to d-town. This wasn't a trip i was looking forward to since all i've been hearing is all about snow and how cold it has been. Wednesday actually ended up being a great day for a ride with the sun out and the temp up around 40. Thursday not so much as we got hit with a storm so i was riding around in the snow. I've come to the conclusion if you are in d-town and it is snowing the best ride is over florida and towards bayfield and flip it at any point. It is well maintained and normally doesn't have much traffic and stays snow packed. Friday I was basically swimming around the valley as it was more like the animas river. Saturday i went for a mtb ride with snyder. I should have been on the mtb bike instead of my cross bike, i've never went over the bars that many times in a year as i did yesterday. Today i got out early with jesse d and beat the weather some what considering it only started to snow about 2 hours into my 3.5 hr ride. I have to thank sean at adidas for setting me up with super warm gear it really makes base alot easier to deal with when you have all the right clothing. Also dylan and eric at clif bar for all the product that i eat and drink over the course of base.

Base?

Well base for me has started back up this week. It is time to try to lose all the weight i put on in mexico. I've got just a little less than a week left in tucson before it is back to the winter wonderland in durango. Todd and I have been going on some good rides out in the desert. Yesterday i saw a ghost over gates pass riding in what looked to be a construction workers kit. Haven't had a chance to catch up with the d-town crew that is down here right now hopefully in the next couple of days.

Same Thing Different Day

We have been basically been on the same schedule each day for the past two weeks. I've just start putting a run into the program which is the most physical activity i've done since natz. A couple of days ago we went to sayulita which is a big surf town about five miles away. We had lunch at the fish tacos stand. Val, Jess, and Dave are friends we met down here from detroit came over with us. Dave wouldn't even try his tacos because they had a mayo based baja dressing on them that was good for Todd and I. Meg had a burrito that was bigger than her and she housed the entire thing. Besides from that i think i've read more books on this trip then i've read in the last 2 years.
