06.22.05 - i am now offically a rock star

well, maybe a rock star whom rides a bike.

seriously - thanks for all the emails to my sponsors and to the blog. kind of overwhelming to think a few years back i was still trying to find my niche in the sport and now there is people sending in emails about me to speedgoat. and i don't even know them. to those people - thank you, thank you, thank you. sponsors love it, it's good for the sport, it helps me out -- it's all good. thanks yo.

some cool news and things in random order:
1. was contacted by karl at www.ride424.com (check out my links!) and i now have a link on his page. check his site out - lists all the major enduro races. wish i could of found this site when i first started doing these races.

2. was also contacted by lights in motion today. they hooked me up this year with some employee purchases so i could run their Li-Ion ARC lights and the Vega light too. Well, looks like I will be addded to their web page for their list of riders and I may get a chance to run some new lights at worlds. Sweeeeeeeeeeet.

3. check out jeff's link on my links too - he's getting ready for some enduro's as well. running some new cateye lights, supposed to be hella-cool.

4. pictures - up on the speedgoat.com site, and possibly www.hammergel.com too. not sure when the rotation of that is coming up on the hammer gel site.

5. was going to do holiday farm this weekend - that was my surprise. i am feeling OK, but the gripping strength in my hands are not 100%. basically, i keep dropping things and i don't think i can hold onto the handlebars too swell. so, i am bummed, but i am skipping the race. i can't afford to get hurt.

6. billy corgan - now has his first solo debut album out. get it. this smashing pumpkins freak got it. now get it. only listened to the single, but it sounds good. it has to - it's billy. and billy rocks.

7. asylums - in for minor repair. will get the fork steerers cut a little since i am running a little smaller stem now - too much steerer is showing. possibly will get new SRAM deraillers as i guess they took a beating at big bear, and new front big chain rings as well. guess i left 3 or 4 teeth of the rings on some rocks down there.

hmmmmmmmmm.....

that's all i can think of - need to spin out the legs today. gotta ride!

sologoat out.
