Rails to Trails

Got an awesome ride in with Matt Brown this weekend. Found some tasty little bits of road never hit up before along with checking out an old missle silo. We also jumped onto one of the rails to trails sections...probably one of the better roads in Kansas, if you can call it that. Great views the whole time. Enjoy the pics.

Ya you heard right!

Some rumors had been going around about next years team maybe getting a sponsorship from Trek/Fisher....well its official.

Fresh off Matt Browns website:

In other news.....Everyone likes videos, so here ya go.
Just in....Dirty Kanza 200 video teaser. Talked to the promoters the other day and sounds like 2010 is going to be bigger and better then ever. Check it out.

We are currently working on securing a couple more sponsors in hope of having the best team yet for the 2010 year. Roster to soon be announced! Get excited!

Also in other news Tim and myself decided not to go to Russell for the ride and stuck around Emporia. We went out to Council Grove and ride the section between there and Alma that we didn't make it to during the 2009 Dirty Kanza 200. I had forgot just how hilly it is up there, and yes Little Egypt Rd. is still just as rough as it was last year.

Forecast: Fun with a chance of freezing your ass off

Me and Tim Moahn are heading out to Russell, KS tomorrow to give the Ride to Paradise a shot. 60 miles of gravel and good times....well other than the forecast that is calling for snow and freezing rain.

A few pictures from what had to be the most fun I have had on my bike ever. It was an experience I wouldn't trade a thing for. I am already planning on being back for next year, so much learned about what this kind of racing is all about.

A good little taste of the Dirty Kanza 200. The DK200 is a 200 mile gravel road race through the Flint Hills around the Emporia, Ks. The 2009 race would have a blistering head wind that changed direction throughout the day and was coupled with sweat drenching heat. 85 would start and a record low 15 would finish. www.heartlandrace.com Editing done by Lelan Dains
