TWAF on the rise


How did this thing get so out of control- in a good way. We've had coverage on about 20 endurance/adventure racing websites, we've got WCAX out of Burlington coming over to do a story, our local press is doing stories on us, RSN tv asks us to do trail condition call ins on our morning rides (thus far it hasn't worked- cell coverage in the back country can be spotty). Plus we know have some cool t-shirts and jerseys on the way- (you can buy your own TWAF t-shirt for $15 or two for $25)

So as all of this goes to our heads (Bell or Giro- are you reading- we can use 5 XXL helmets now)- I just hope we remember to train!

We'll give you a post on how the TV deal goes today, it should be fun.

On an equipment front my bike is undergoing a slow overhaul as I work on a piece (or try to- grrrrr) then put it back together so I can ride it the next day. This has been and I'd guess will be an ongoing process through the season. It's amazing how much you can beat up your bike on 6 to 7 hour off road rides. Any disk brake pad companies want to sponsor us? We are all running hayes and are blasting through pads!

So that's where the world stands at the moment. Now I've got to go grab some water and try to choke down these vitamins from Animal Pak- I hope WADA isn't doing any testing cuz anything called Animal Pak has gotta have something questionable in it!
