coming this weekend just out of syracuse new york. part of the 6 hour series up in new york - this will be the first of 3 races. should be some fast locals, with some possible pro/semi-pro riders coming from indy fab. these guys always show up to the races up there - with fresh legs.
races i have done against them have always been with a 24 hour race in my legs less then 14 days previous - always wondered what i could do without having put myself through some major hurt so close to their events. the pando 8 hour didn't cook me at all, so it should be a good test for me.
bikes held up fine at pando - rode both the rp3 and the 5th element rear shocks. think i am going to go with the rp3 - just seems a little more compliant. the 5th is lighter and is actually the shock i rode last year, but it just seems too stiff on the asylum. i'm going to tweek the settings on it a little more and give it another week before i 100% decide.
other than that, riding is going good - weather is supposed to be nice all week. YAHOO! but when will it finally stay over a high of 70 all week?!?! grrrrrrrr.....
in other news:
billy corgan/smashing pumpkins freaks, let it be known -- with his new album coming out next month, there is a tour. a very small tour. if you are fellow corgan nutcase like myself, pre-sale for the tickets is tomorrow at 10am. if there is two shows that i would absolutely 150% love to go to, would be the chicago shows. it's his hometown, yo.
i caught his last little tour for his book -- very, very super cool. got his autograph and then caught his show at a very small venue in cleveland. maybe 200 people at it, max. he played a ton of his new stuff and read some of his poetry. if you ever get a chance to see one of his shows - check it out. simply amazing.
corgan rules.
and so do my asylums.
