The route has been posted! Check it out on the 55nine Performance blog. I had hoped for two separate loops, but the Forest Service put the kibosh on that idea….at least for this year. I’m going to try to cut through the bureaucratic tape to get some more single track opened up for mtb’ers in [...]
There are bunch from Namrita, Misty @ Vassago, Chris Baker from Charlotte in my gallery. Chris also put together this video of all of his pictures: The bloggersphere is abound with Cowbell reports as well: Arliegh Namrita Jeremy Arnold Extra Tomato And if you haven’t heard Dicky was the Santa Cruz Hellride contestant number 4 [...]
9:00 AM: Our, Namrita & I, pit crew is hard at it. Brandon is making some adjustments to Namrita’s Vassago before installing a drive train on my Kona King Kikapu. Tracey is working on list of what each of us want to eat/drink and when. Lisa was busy arranging the pit area so they could [...]
I took second this weekend at the Cowbell. It was hot as expected and the new course rocked. Namrita kicked single-speed butt again with a second place herself.

The Great Divide Race is in full swing. This little jaunt across a chunk of North America is a self support epic race of no less than 2500 miles through some very rouged mountains. You can listen the racers personal accounts at MTBCast.com which is podcasting the racers check point messages. This is some good [...]
Preparation for the Cowbell 12 Hour in Charlotte is in full swing. Hotels are being booked, support is being recruited, and my Hei Hei needs some love as I have been riding the heck out of it the last 3 weeks. I’ve even been doing my road rides on it because the position is a [...]
I’m finally getting caught up here at home after 6 weeks of racing, then directing the BURN 24 Hour, then a little jaunt to MI to see the inlaws…during all of that I fit about 50 bikes. 55nine is doing quite well with many of the racers fit during the first part of the year [...]
