Online Pre Reg now Open!!!

Ahh its true that we are trying to keep up with the times here at Racer and Chasers! The rumors are true and it is now possible to register before you show up to race. To top it all off I am offering a $10 off all of our Super Cool Jerseys when you register for an event online.

Online reg has not even been up for 24 hrs and we have already had several people register! So what are you waiting for? Come out and join us for a great time Saturday May 9th!

We are also going to be having BBQ food cooked on site as well as another bounce house for the kids!

Bring out the family for a great time!

Baking the Sea Otter

Just a quick post on the race that is known as Sea Otter. Well needless to say It did not go well for me or lots others. The weather once again played a huge factor this year. The weird thing was that it was hot, for the first time ever! AS we stood on the start line Chuck Jenkins told me that it was 95 degrees.

Cutting to the chase I am bummed to say that the heat totally kicked my butt! I pulled out after just one lap due to the fact that my body was freaking out and I was not even sweating!

Oh well time to focus on the next race!

Its finally time to go to the race that is usually raining or howling winds. However this year it looks like it just may be the first year that it may be nice...or at least better!

We are looking forward to it and doing well and to all that follow this blog are are heading up there to participate...Good Luck!

As I type this we are getting the Pre-Registration up and running for my race series so be sure to stay up on all of the hot news about that!

Here is to a great weekend! Let go!!!!

Hitting the Gym

Well ok I have not been hitting it bit it has been good. With the watchful eye of Bill Dixon my title sponsor looking over my every move in the gym its been great. Exhausting but great! Today was another great workout and is really improving my strength! Right after the Gym I head to ITT to test my legs on the 12 mile climb and had a phenomenal time! I was stoked even though it was freezing cold and raining on me up there. I had to stop 3 times just to get the feeling back in my hands. I could not even tell if I was touching the brakes until I would almost go over the front!

Well back to the Gym and the training, it has been great and I know that it has helped my recovery from my cracked rib a lot. I felt stronger than I ever have at Fontana PRO XCTour last weekend. I managed to make a descent finish of being called up almost last! So where to go from here? Well the Gym of course, even though most would argue with that opinion. Riding in the dirt requires a lot more strength than our friends of the skinny tire sorts. With the races that are planned for this year I know that I can use all of the strength I can get. Notice I said strength not bulk.

See you on the trails and hopefully proving that this weight traing works!

New flyer and Summer race dates

The summer race dates are finally here! It is going to be a great time and we are even starting the races earlier in the morning to beat the heat! The race day schedule is for the May 9th date only! We will only be having a XC race in the morning and it will start no later than 7:30 AM!! We are working on finalizing a venue that may be different than Vail Lake but I will let you know as soon as we get confirmation!


Stay tuned for the Fall schedule and possible other events!

Finally a race update

The Pain face, how many more laps?

What a weekend! I witnessed so many great races from all of our friends and supporters of our race series, Racers and Chasers. Here are some pics from the race this past weekend that mostly my dad took.Just a bit sandy
It really is as steep as it looks!
There was tons of wins that I heard about from a bunch of people that we have met and great races from people who have just upgraded!About half of the 120 or so starters. Talk about a bottleneck. I got called up 105th

Thanks to the TONS of support from all that continued to cheer for me the whole race! Dave, Kurt, and Cheryl were at the base of "The Wall" on every lap and are here along the "Boards" as I finished! Thanks a ton! I ended up in 50th while having to pass 55 riders.
