Just a shorty to try out an FB blog app. Joined Facebook 2 wks ago. Trying to integrate my Dennisbike world into it….or is the the other way round?

Day off from work. Needed a rest, so lounging at home today. Played in the tomato patch and garden until I sweat-ed out completely. Now watching the DVR’d Tour de France…great TV commercial: “…strip down to your underwear, open the car door at 45mph and jump out.That’s what it’s like to crash in a bike race.” !! exactly !!
Sweet.
In the run for a M.A.S.S. Master II championship, gotta become a hill climber by Sept 21 Bear Creek race. With the cancellation of Nottingham STXC I will now have to WIN the Bear Creek STXC to hold on the that series win…maybe my opponent win not show up…actully I’d rather to race him for it.
Some aches and delayed recovery starting to show from the MTB season racing/training, managing it and aiming for a strong Cross Season. Have to miss the weekend opener of the MAC to finish the MASS series with the wins above………3 more races MTB and then on to Cross! Ye Ha!!!
Ok. So, looking at my www.PBase.com/denS gallery site the other night…..Lots there. 500+ galleries/18000+ images…Holy Crap!
On the gallery cover for Fair Hill MTB Race 2003 is this photo:
Just sayin’. I got a lot of pictures.

Two Short Track races down and still not much going on. Was talking with the MASS’ter about the state of STXC in the MASS…and… Gotta be part of an established event. Since the 1’st 2 have been sorely attended I wonder weather a stand alone event is just a mistake for the promoter…Congrat’s to the ones that are taking it on though.
Example: You live 1 1/2 hr’s away….for a 1/2 hr $25 ride…. = poor attendance. (So a nice way to rack up some Ind’y and team points… Hey, if you’re in the game. Play it, Yo).
So as part of a multi-race event, it works, right? You’re already there. OK, so if we are going to do good STXC’n then somehow, add it in. It aint’a work’n as a stand alone.
Not a gripe…just sayin………………….

2 races 2 seconds…1good one,well played and deserved. The other one not so well deserved, but fought for it just the same. Wish I felt better about that one,under attended,sat in and played the strategy game,made my move to win and blew it. Had I won, would have felt the same though.
Short Track is just a crit on fat tires…..many MTB’rs don’t really have crits in their resume. I did the crit game a long time before quitting bike. Took a long time after my 1 1/2 yr. absence to find a need for racing again and that has turned to on ‘dirt’ rather then macadam. I understand Critirium and I understand Short Track in much the same way. Your views may differ.
Need a new bike for STX. Make do with what I have. Would like: 29er with gears around 24 pounds.
Pictures of bike races can be found at www.pbase.com/denS . Think a Photo Book is in the future…Local riders over the last 7 yr’s. Have some older stuff from film, that goes way back to scan in….May be some dialogue. Still thinking about it………….
