Wonderful weather and loads of rocks at the Maximus. To see how it played out for me go here
. By taking 4 parts Carbon, mixed with 29″ wheels and spread it out over one of the largest rock gardens in PA, I had the ingredients for a day spent in Utopia.

Fort Yargo 6 Hour Race
After having no luck with the cross-country races I decided to get back to what I am better at. The crashes and broken bike parts were really bringing my spirits down. So, with all that in mind, I decided to make a run at the Dirty Spokes 6 hour series. I finished fourth at the first race in Athens, GA after some severe cramps and dehydration that had my legs looking like a little alien was going to pop out at any moment. More »
The new bike and various parts have been rolling in over the past few days. I haven’t ridden since last weekend’s race and I’ll probably have another light week of riding this week due to final exams. The new bike should be up and running within the next week or so but won’t see a race until the Big Ring Classic on June 1st. Photos will follow..
What the heck is goin on here? perhaps mr. ott can pony up a small prize for the best caption? lay em on me.
A day in the life of Tucker Dance:
A run in the woods, a roll in the dirt a swim in the river …..ahh life is good. My mom just got her new bike and man does she love to ride it, which is all the better for me because I get to go with her. I have to say I am looking quite svelte since the new bike arrived. It is pretty cool and sleek. I like chasing it like it’s the mailman and I am about to eat him…oops…. did I say that out loud. Well, anyway I have to eat and go to bed. I had a rough day chasing that SuperFly around.
The big show has finally come and gone again. Only 359 more days until the next DSG… Sigh… This year’s race started, as all my races seem to, with a healthy thunderstorm the night before. The rain stopped an hour or two before the race though, so at least I didn’t have to get my things ready in the rain.
It’s been too long since my last post. It’s scary how fast time is going by these days. Between riding, reffing and working - not too mention a social life, the days are flying by. I can’t believe it’s already May. More »
Another fresh Ferrous is taking on the singletrack. The Waterloo paint shop did another fine job with the factory re-paint. Who’s the lucky girl? Charlie, shop manager at the Trek Store in Omaha. For all you folks who don’t think 29ers are for the vertically challenged, well, Charlie’s about 5′2″ on a good day and she rocks it. Sweet ride. Check out the ghost/stealth downtube graphic.
The knee injury has made this season very slow and uneventful thus far. I have been riding this week, but i think i need to take a break, R.I.C.E a bit more and hit treadfest hard. On the maiden north trails ride we were able to get this team shot. to bad we forgot the 29er crew kits. next time…….
The wait is finally over! Tuesday evening the big brown truck rolled up to my place while I was playing in the park across the street with my little guy. Mail! he exclaimed (to a sixteen month old, all UPS, Fed Ex and USPS delivery vehicles are the same and simply called mail) as I swooped him up and ran over to the house. I had pretty much given up hope that it was going to arrive on Tuesday and figured Wednesday would instead bring the new ride. After grilling up some burgers and hastily eating dinner, I sprang into action in the garage and managed to assemble the bike and squeeze in about an hour ride all before it finally got dark. My initial reaction to the new blue HiFi Pro is one of total satisfaction. I had demoed one last fall for a very short ride on our trail network and afterwards, really wanted one. I just hoped it was as good as I had remembered. It definitely is! It has all of the great attributes we love about the 29ers and yet feels as nimble and perhaps quicker than the procaliber I was riding last year. I commuted on it the next day and managed an evening trail ride later too. Today I switched out the Bontrager Rhythm Elite wheels to my new Rig and put the Race X Lites that were temporarily on the Rig (while waiting for blue to arrive) on Blue. Hopefully I can hit some more trails tomorrow and see what else it can do…
