  The Sornson’s made the trip to Iron Hill this past weekend.  I will tell this story in pictures.                                                                          Read more

This past weekend proved to be glorious.  I know that I have a winner’s high, but I do believe that even without a double win I’d still be singing its praises.  The weather, the long yet painless drive, the beautiful scenery in the Cherokee National Forest, the flow of buff and rocky single track trails,  Read more

Wow! What a weekend. I went into it with no definite plans or expectations. The weather looked good so there were many options. It was a nice slow day on Saturday. Got lots of loose ends tied and completed a run and ride according to plan. All was done with no time restrictions or with  Read more

Having opted out of the 4 hour mudfest the weekend prior, I was left with an edginess that needed to be calmed.  Not a day later a received a text enticing me to race the Dragons Tale in NewCastle Va.  I had been there before in 2010.  I remembered that although not too long mileage  Read more

And so it begins, as it practically ended. Six months later I found myself in Dahlonega, GA again, but not on a moutain bike. I was ultra cross racing!

Again it was one of those moments of “What was I thinking” as I prepared to make the journey to Mountain View Arkansas.  My initial thoughts months ago were how awesome to ride a new 100 mile venue that has 50+ miles of singletrack designated as “epic” by the International Mountain Bike Association..  It also has the  Read more

Yes, I am and yes I did.  Luckily I wasn’t alone.  My friend Roger Masse from 29r crew joined in the insanity.  I just had my mind set on doing both events and it was a bummer the way they fell on the calendar.  If there is a will there is a way.  And away we  Read more
