My first collegiate mountain bike race and my first race for Lees-McRae College kicked of September 6th and 7th hosted by Eastern Tennessee State University...
No full play by play race report for this race. Instead I’ve posted a few photos from the weekend with a description of what’s happening. In the end i don’t even know exactly where I finished as no-body from the Campmor H2H race series has posted results yet...
I recently tired out a pair of FMB BOYAUX de COMPETITION silk tires in 22MM on the Trimble Aero bike #067. The tires are handmade in France and competitors to Dugast. I think they are equal if not better in quality. I've put about 100 miles on my pair and really enjoyed the ride! 9.5 bar is about the right pressure for my weight and even at that high pressure they smooth out the roughness ... Read More
I recently restored and updated Nate's bike, know as the Green Aero. This frame is from the original prototype molds and was built in Natick Mass, probably in 1989 or so. Nate is attending Lees McCrae college in Banner Elk, NC and is on the bike and running teams. He will put the bike to good use there staying in shape for various racing disciplines.

Here are some pictures of frame #067 finished on July 26, 1990 in Natick Ma. This was an extra light frame that I originally built for professional triathlete Paul Barford. To upgrade old equipment, I installed a correct Campy Chorus BB and 53 tooth chainring on the original hardcoated Chorus crankset. Also installed new were a Campy record 25.0 seatpost, WTB Rocket saddle, correct time period Dura Ace 7400 derailieurs and brakeset, Whipperman chain and new bar tape. ... Read More

Here's our campsite. Dad, Nate and Bo raced the TMBRA series Single Track Stampede at Reimer's ranch park west of Austin on April 13, 2008. It's a beautiful venue in the Texas Hill country. The course is a rider's course - some very technical rock gardens and step-ups plus sweeping turns and high speed downhills. Nate raced expert 19-29 and finished 10th of 17. Bo raced Sport 15-16 and was 3rd of 6. Dad raced Sport 50+ and was 14 of 17. Dad and ... Read More
