Snow! Snow! Snow!

Where's the dirt?


Duke came along.


A very gorgeous snowy day just a happening today. I really enjoyed it. Snowshoeing at the mountains today was very fun, good exercise, and plenty of fresh cool air.

I will be in the Mad Dog Cycles Team....

I will race for Mad Dog Cycles next 2009 season, I emailed them and asked and they said yes and they have a group ride every fourth Thursday of each month from April to August and I will be racing in the races in the Intermountain Cup Series. It will be exciting. I asked Hammer Nutrition before to get sponsored by them and they didn't accept my application so then I asked Mad Dog. There are two Mad Dog Cycles locations in the Provo/Orem, UT area.

What's next? A warm, brown, biking Christmas? Well ya, sure, why not?

Once again, what's next?

Warm and fun day.

Where's the snow? And it's December 6th? I had fun biking anyway. I went for a fun easy ride for an hour today and I don't remember if I biked on a trail in Ephraim in December before. Weird.

I will be working at Timberhawk!

















I will be the wall panel guy in the shop in Mt. Pleasant at the Timberhawk Building Systems. They build walls and stairs in the shop and then ship them to Rexburg, ID, Roosevelt, UT, and the surrounding areas where they put the walls together to build the townhomes. It is at the same wage and probably the same hours. And it's inside! I will start Monday and work a couple hours on that day so I will be working part time for the first couple of weeks and then get into full time. I rather do cabinets though but still, I need a job. Click on http://timberhawk.com/ to find out more about this place. Chris Jaussi is the owner of the Timberhawk Company and I went biking with him once to Milburn and back, he is a very nice guy. Also, the boss in the wall panel shop is in our ward, so that is good too.

The work is done.


Bottles and bottles and food storage.




That's what I did with the old bikes, hung them above the washer and dryer.
I just got done with the laundry room project today and mom and dad are very satisfied with it. We can put more food down there. That's it, that's all I am going to do with the laundry room. I got 3/4 of a section for my tools and we still got room for more bottles and food!

Upcoming Race: Red Rock Desert Rampage Bike Race


There's Durke Gordon, he did good last year so he's jumping up a class(expert).


I know this guy. That's good old Racer Gibson, I stop by in his bike shop to visit with him once a while. I haven't seen him for a while though, I used to go visit him quite a bit when I was living in Provo, very nice guy.







The race will be March 7th next year in St. George so I am looking forward to it. I will be racing in the Sport 30-34 class so I hope I will do good. I did this trail like twice in the last two springs, the same one. You do two laps(expert does three) and it's very fun singletrack, the climb up and the downhill is a blast. It will be nice 75 degree temperature. Oh yeah, the Evanston, WY race is changed to The Canyons Resort which is the grand finale so Tony, don't worry about me staying in your house for that, but Mike, I will stay in your house for the Sherwood Hills race though. The Jackson Hole race is still on too. I can't wait to do all 12 races next year and I am not going to take it too seriously, I am just going to have fun!
