2007 EXPO Racing team video preview

Quick put together. Premiere is scheduled for Nov. 17 at the EXPO Racing Parte'. There are a few dead spots, deal with it. Enjoy.

Not so Cold

No Snow...

No posts for a while...My Aunt-in-law passed last week. No Iceman for me. That is not to say EXPO Racing didn't melt the snow this weekend. Ripped it up.



Theo - 2nd place



All men 12-14! Midwest Regional Championship! SECOND PLACE!



Aris - 4th place



Made a pass in the last mile to take 4th. What racing is all about.



Darwin - 5th

Second to oldest bro. Only his second MTB race ever. Him being able to race is the exact reason I love Iceman so much. I made the decision Thursday night to not race(Trixie, I love you). I told Dar to pack his bike and race under my name. Dar shows up Friday night to pose as me...didn't have to. The folks at Iceman completely changed all the rider info and even let him change classes. Wow. Thanks to Iceman, they have contributed to the Mountain biking community +1.



John G - 10th

Top ten in the race's largest field...nice



Kathy Gregorski - 4th

Constant top 5 finishes all year(we both know it was a timing chip thing at Short n Fat)

Side notes:
EXPO Racing's end of the year parte' is this coming Saturday. The days highlights include; Homemade Pizza's, fire, and 2007 EXPO Racing highlight reel premiere!

2008 Lazer Helmet Proposal is out the door...we won't hear back till Nov. 20ish.

Clif Bar has been renewed for 2008!

Surf

Water proof anyone?
My messenger bag is already in the garbage.



With Trans-Iowa v4 right arround the corner, my mind has been on a few BIG things which all root to an even BIGGER thing.



SELF SUPPORTED
I carry all non-mini mart items with me from the start. I need a pack. I am absolutely 100% focused on Ergon (the root). The new BD1, BD2 or the newer BC3 is the focused question. To get the answer, it's going to take some research(Mr. 24, Mtbr.com, Ergon, G-Ted BD2 review).



LOOOOOONG
Bar setup??? If don't ride my drops in a 30min cross race, I'm probably not going to in a 300ish mile gravel grind. So, traditional drop bars are out. Mustache, Mary, Midge, Jones, flats, flats with bar ends...? My main goal is to create a setup which allows me to use Ergon grips (again, the root). Research and century rides to test...I better get going.


Now that I think about it. This prep work is going to be a blast!

First lets hope I get in...

Gettin' some love from ERGON

EXPO Racing gets a tad bit of press on the Ergon web! Take a lookie. Clicky the Ergon logo just below the "About Me" section in the right side bar.

In a few days the link will be switched back to Ergon's home page.

"At Night" State Champ

A second look since he dropped his gym membership like 3years ago.

WI Night Race State Champion

So I was taking pics left and right, all day Sat and Sun documenting my CX double dip on the local. It was going to be the post of a lifetime. I was going to talk about how I rode to each race and how I got my rear handed to me each time. How my bike rode like a dream on Sat and was over geared on Sun. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Aris decided to win The Wisconsin Night Race State Championship on Sunday night. He signed up for the U16 because he's 16. He took 1st Overall and stole my weekend glory in the process. Great win Aris.

Motivation

I am so motivated. Post card is ready(needed fer registration). Self supported. Self supported.
Read up






This is another one my heart desires... Read up. It's a true "out there" event and its been calling out my name for years now. 75% of clothing is ready, 20% survival gear check and...I still need a snow bike. 120% preparation is needed, I got a ways to go. 2008 looks like it'll pushed back to 2009. It will be worth it. Trust me.
