My New Backyard

This past weekend I took the plunge and moved myself out to socal. Talk about a culture shock, Flagstaff to Huntington Beach damn! I think it will take a bit to get my feet grounded but between my team manager and team owner their making it easy for me. I do need to find a new vehicle in order to keep up with these crazy people. It seems like everyone is in such a hurry to get nowhere. It's like keeping up with the Jones's on steroids. I just need to remember why I'm out here and stay focused on that. It is pretty sweet riding along the PCH on my new road bike with the ocean breeze to my back. I'll see what happens these next few weeks. The opening round of the Kenda cup west is Sun so racing season here we go...
Ohh yea and today I turned 26. Yeay getting old!

New Shred Machine

So this year I was going to race a geared bike but ShoAir approached me again and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse racing single speed again. They want me to round out their Specialized National Factory Pro Team with a pro single speeder. It also looks like I am going to be moving out to Huntington Beach for awhile. Scott Tedro the owner of ShoAir is hooking me up with a job and free room and board 3 blocks from the beach. They and I believe that this is the next step in becoming a legit pro. I will be riding and training with some of the best in the country and will learn what I can from those guys. It's going to be a huge culture shock going from little Flagpole to "The O.C." but I think it's worth it. They want me riding the Specialized Stumpjumper Sworks Carbon hardtail so that we all can represent pro style for Specialized. The bike feels so fast and right now its under 19lbs and I think I can shave 1.5lbs more off it with a race wheel set. It's definitely a race machine. I'll post more when I know whats going on, for now it's just time to focus on the trail.
