I got a chance to get into the Milwaukee river corridor tonight. Most of the trail has dried up since my last ride, however, the northwest is still semi-sloppy. Other than avoiding the occasional bum turd, a lot of work has be done regarding fallen trees and washouts. I think the cleanup last month helped a lot too. Loops run about 8 miles and range from fast rolling single track to a few simple power climbs and technical rocky-root sections. Just watch out for pissed off walkers and dogs off the leash.

Gorrick Enduro: 4th May 2008
To be honest I felt a bit of a fraud and can promise, hand out heart that I never tampered with the course tape! I should never have found myself in 1st place at the end of the first lap of The Gorrick enduro and was surprised ( but delighted!) to be in that position for the first 4 laps when the inevitable happened and I conked out like so many of the old cars that I once owned back in college.
The Gorrick Enduro is, I think one of the most underrated rides going. The singletrack is awesome and despite it being in Berkshire, it still manages to find some hills which are fireroad and unrideable! This year there was a particularly nasty one. More »

Here in Chicago it is not unusual to see a two frame tall commuter bike or even a triple frame tall bike. During my daily perusing of numerous biking forums and websites I found this picture and it must be shared. When looking at this picture just keep in mind that if this is his commuter bike just imagine what his 29er Mountain bike Looks like! Craziness!

Springtime in Naples, NY area happens to be my favorite time of the year. The trails are just getting into perfect conditions, weather is coming around and the legs are primed and ready to go for any situation.
Wednesday was a great day to skip out of work early and head down to the Hollow with Casey, Jer-Bear and Hanggi to get some Finger Lakes Trail riding in. We rolled out from the Hollow onto some of the roads from the Rambler.

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..

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.
