BIKES

1999 Voodoo Bokor (mtb)
Easton Elite aluminum, lots of XTR, Race Face, and other Easton goodies. fat Marzocchi Atom Bomb helps keep the rubber side down.

1998 Voodoo Wazoo (cyclocross)
used like a battering ram during my one cross race in 99. it survived though. looking forward to really breaking it in during the 2000 cyclocross season.

2000 Steelhead (road)
my new pride and joy. fully custom Dedacciai Zero steel frame. full Campagnolo Chorus 10spd, except for the 10 spd Record hubs. its a beauty.

1994 Barracuda Comp (Tange Ultimate)
rigid, LX/XT mix - my first mountain bike over $1000. I wish Barracuda hadn't gone to shit because I love this bike. This thing has seen three trips to Utah, a week in Colorado, and a final grueling last tour of duty in middle New York and Eastern Pennslyvania. It served me well. I had it custom painted when I retired it. It gets all the hand-me-down parts that i upgrade off of my Voodoo. Right now, its mostly a grocery getter and a loaner bike for when bikeless friends show up in town.

FRAMES DESTROYED IN 1999 3 (two Voodoo Djab titanium mountain frames, and one Miele columbus steel road frame)

YEARS RIDING MOUNTAIN 7.893

BEST BIKING EXPERIENCE #1 Like Tom said - probably when we were in the Catskills in 1997. We ended up god knows where and like 45 miles away from the truck, and it was getting dark. We ride into this clearing and there's a bunch of buildings there. We'd been riding all day and this really cute girl from the Nature Conservancy informed us we'd been riding illegal trails. She was cool though and gave us a ride back to the truck. What an angel.
#2 Also, my first trip to Moab was really fun. It was the first time I'd really been biking anywhere outside of Missouri. The Porcupine Rim trail was incredible. We spent way too much time (and money) at Eddie McStiff's though....

WORST BIKING EXPERIENCE #1 Meeting up with the business end of a Mercedes on my road bike. That was some scary shit. Luckily I was ok - no lasting injuries to speak of. Cool gory pictures to come....

#2 See best biking experience #1. It was the best and worst day of riding ever. I think Tom and I were on our bikes for like 11 hours. No food, no water, no money. Total death march. I've never been more lost. My brand new Continental tires were ripped to shreds by the crazy outcroppings up there. In retrospect, Tom said something along the lines of, "Oh, I get it....those are 100ft contours..." It was a good trip overall, but that day just sucked.

FAVORITE BEERS / LIQUOR Red Hook ESB, Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat, Samuel Smiths Oatmeal stout, St. Ides Premium Malt Liquor, Makers Mark, Tanqueray, Stoli Kafya, scotch (Glendronach, Macallan, Laphroaig, Balvenie)

OTHER HOBBIES / INTERESTS rock climbing (belay slave), rocknroll, former cooler-than-thou college radio DJ, hanging out at Ed's, acquiring massive debt

WORDS TO LIVE BY / WORDS TO DIE FOR most of the time, we talk about riding more than we actually do it, but thats ok.
its all about Los Bike.
Los Bike races, but not to win.
Los Bike does not stretch
Los Bike does not carbo-load unless it consists of large amounts of tatertots, mac 'n' cheese, and gin and tonics.
Los Bike always finishes together.
Los Bike has each others back.
Los Bike reprazents.
Los Bike coulda been a contenduh
Los Bike doesnt believe the hype
Los Bike throws money at the problem until it goes away
Los Bike tries to get everyone to move to St. Louis.
Los Bike scoffs at that which we do not like or find entertaining.
Yo, 1998...its like dat. Uh.
