Woo hoo! We did it - me and anthony conquered the transrockies! Anthony - now known as quadzilla - on a single speed and me on a fully geared. Day 6 was definitely the hardest mentally, but we pulled it off. I heard people say that race organizers called it the most grueling stage in all of the years to date. And guess what - I learned how to really ride ...
The wheels have fallen off to be sure. I am a mess today and I want to go home, really don't give a rats a if my bike makes it back. Its no friend of mine! Peter
Have you Seen Mark Lepper? Peter has bet that he can make more posts than me [Anthony], he's on. But he's writing fast. Here's a picture of Peter at his best telling us customers are # 1. Closing ceremony Jeff is totally inappropriate Single Speed Steve - Honorary Misfit Here's our good friend Single Speed Steve from Southern California... I think you'll find him on a Misfit in the near future!! Man ...
Time to celebrate a great accomplishment hats off to the rest of the team for a job well done and especially Peter for the late nights and the organizing to get the shirts, frames designed and ordered as well as assembling; fixing and ordering all of the parts to get the bikes working top notch!!! As a matter of fact none of us had a mechanical other than Michael with ...
I am told I should tell the tale of the Purple German. He was the Fuhrer of Food. The Kaiser of Caterers.. You want more? No! Well, on my drive from Whiteswan to Elkford (Stage 4? I started losing track), I stopped for some much needed relaxation - and a break from the boys. There was a lovely natural hotspring going into the glacier-fed river in a. series of pools. I ...
Anyone seen my wallet?
Arrrrgh, It's over......I'm done...... I'm drunk.....and nothing hurts.......anymore.. More beer please.
So, yeah... You'll see the pics posted soon I'm sure, and rest assured I am thoroughly embarrased. I am certainly not used to random people calling out my name. Especially when even they don't know why! All in good fun. The extended Misfit crew is awesome. Speaking of which, we've all met some really great people on our way to the finish line today. We've all been sharing tons of ...
I got bike! I rode bike fast! It was fun. My bum hurts, and I'm getting drunk really fast. But I'm just so happy that I was able to do this. Without getting all sappy on y'all, I had a gas. Not to mention I got to ride with Mark Lepper. Jeff (not eaten by bear, just punched)
That's right 3 down and probably 3 more before I go night nite... Looking around this room...there are some people that REALLY hurt themselves...wow, I feel good. Now good night. Peter
Stage 1.... Done! Stage 2... Done! Stage 3... Done! Stage 4... Done! Stage 5... Done! Stage 6... Done! Stage 7... Done! Seven stages of the TR done on a single speed Misfit. And they all thought we'd never make it. Never say die! Was an amazing week of riding with Peter. We were a great pair and together became a great team. Thanks Peter for inviting me on this incredible advenature.... You bastard! Beer time!!!! See you ...
A supposed short sprint of 48km's and 650m of vertical...not so sure about that. Once again Michael thought it would be funny to mess up as many people as possible, except this time he had a partner in crime. It seems Jeff hadn't tried hard enough in the days prior. He left poor poor Gordo hobbling up the hills on his one remaining knee and taunted my partner into ...
What a day the carnage is excessive as I walk back to the tent at about 1030pm you could hear the proverbial pin drop, many I mean many people dropped out today!! We all knew this was going to be the stage from hell and joked about it at dinner last night. Well there was no joking when we hit the line in the morning this stage was a monster 116...
Big day today. 116k with 3 big climbs. First climb was right off the start with very little warm up. Peter and I hit it hard and we made very good time before entering the single track. After the single track things leveled out a bit with rolling double track. Second big climb was well graded for our gearing... We constantly traded spots with several other teams. Misfit has built a ...
Marc and I just finished our 6th stage. It was the toughest of the week and it was awesome. Well, except for the road bits... Don't get me wrong, it kicked our ass, but I still loved it. The climbs were huge! Tomorrows stage into Fernie should be a pleasant cruise by comparison. Some sweet singletrack I hear... See y'all soon. Mark. Oh yeah, in regards to previous posts, don't ...
