Upcoming DH season

I realize that at this time last year I was telling you all about how I was going to get to a lot of races that summer and how excited I was.....Well this season I am aiming to actually hit most of the races that I've been wanting to do for so long, unlike last seasons fail.

There is no better time really for me to do this. I have a flexible job that lets me pretty much do whatever I want. And although I will be taking a class or two over the summer, I will be doing the races that I want. With any luck I'll have enough funds to do so without becoming poor.

Another reason that I'm so determined this year is that I have picked up a couple of sponsors that will be helping me out. Renthal and Gamut USA are on board and I'm excited to be riding under their name.

Now that I'm pretty much over being sick, I will be training and riding more than I ever have up to this point. I'm at a good spot in my life for this stuff to happen right now; sponsors, a bike that is dialed, a ride to most races, and an amazingly supportive girlfriend who puts up with all this bike nonsense.

Big plans for the season and I will be doing my damnedest to make it all happen! Time to get a plan together for getting ready for the season and making it happen!

This is what the next 4 months of my life look like...minus one more book

2012

Well, its been about 3 weeks dealing with this sickness. Its really starting to bring me down. Although I've been dealing with this and not knowing whats wrong with me, I've been really busy with life.

Between working and waiting for info about a new job position I applied for, I also moved, and decided to go back to school. Its been a lot to think about and handle all at once, but finally its all done. Now I'm just getting settled in to the changes in my life and hoping for the best.

Here's to a fresh start to 2012! I have some goals which include working on my video creating skills, as well as becoming a better writer, and RIDER. Hopefully I can get back into DH form here soon as well. There hasn't been any snow here in Flagstaff for about a month, so once I get fully recovered from being sick, I will be up hitting the xc trails harder than ever, just waiting for the chance to rip down the elden DH trails once again.
