last weekend had me testing out the asylums in some dirt. we made some swap out of parts on the bikes and things are working good.
mohican was last weekend, part of the ultra series. results are not up yet, but the word around town was that skip brown of seven cycles showed up with a geared bike. that dude is hella fast on a single speed. it was the first in the 6 race series, 5 more to go. next race is the lumberjack, up in the michigan, weekend after next. looks to be a nice format - 4 laps of a 25 mile circuit. should be a good format - long enough lap so you won't get dizzy.
this week - i'll be hitting up another race. field is going to be a lot bigger then georgia and it is one of my favorite courses out there. should be a good time.
and - i'll have a massive pit crew, so live updates may be possible this time.
so, look for audio and picture updates later this week.
with that, gotta roll

Yup, Skip was on a geared bike. He was fast as hell, but he missed a few turns and broke his chain a bunch of times. He flew by me a more than once.
saw your review - nice write up.
i have raced against skip for years at a 6 hour race up in new york. i was convinced that he was cheating because there was no way a guy with a rigid single speed could beat me.
last year, at the wilderness 101, i had just gone past the next to last check point at roughly 75 mile'ish in.
i was going up this super long climb and saw somebody coming up from behind me. i kept my head down and kept turning the pedals over.
when the rider finally caught me, i turned to see that it was skip.
he was riding a rigid 29er single speed.
