Planning for another Mud Race:)


Jeff O'Gara

Chances of rain just keep getting higher for the Decorah TT. I've never been but from what I hear rain on race day is normal:) Going up early Saturday morning for a toured ride of the course with Shockstar, Kent, Ryan Vanhowling, and some others I think. Crashing at Ben's place Saturday night then playing in the mud Sunday:) Taco Ride last night was good. Teri and I went out early for a lap, met up with Johnny Conlan for some dirt love'n. On Roller Coaster I busted my rear skewer, but not before busting my knee when my chain came off on a climb in HillSide. Hence me trying to over tighten said skewer with wieght of my foot....guess what that will break the damn thing:) Hiked out to the black label and gave riding a try. Interestingly enough I could ride with out a rear skewer in, so I putt-putted back to the shop to meet up with everyone/fix it. Another lap was had, as were taco's and beer...I even woke up foggy this morning. Looking for the morel this afternoon before heading to the shop.

Peace

Decorah is like no other trail in IA, you're gonna dig it :)

Mud up there makes things pretty interesting/hilarious.
