Mark,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of this letter is to declare my intention to race in the upcoming cyclocross season (I’ll do one race, and then see how it goes). This declaration is directed at you because you are, by default, the most notable clyclocross racer that I am aware of in the Omaha area. I’m sure we can agree the rest are mere chumps, offering you no real competition. Well, that is all about to change. Admittedly, the October 1<sup>st</sup> Swanson race will be my first ever cyclocross race, but I see no reason why I won’t be able to challenge you for the title. My training has given me the confidence to make such a bold claim. I don’t want to give away all of my secrets, but I have been riding 30-40 miles a week on the Keystone, and hardly anybody has passed me. Those that did seemed like they are way faster than you so I’m not worried. One week I actually hit 50 miles, but that was the week I did the Taco Ride….that’s right I said Taco Ride. I did the whole thing, down AND back, in what seemed like record time. All the posers on the Wabash were screaming at me to “Slow Down, A-Hole!” but I couldn’t, I’m on a mission to take down Mark Savery.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I saw on your blog that you now have an “A” and a “B” bike for the upcoming season. I’m not impressed. I only need one bike to embarrass you, and it’s probably more like a “C” bike. I take that back, it’s a “D” bike. The “D” stands for Dominate! I don’t need an extra bike to give me an edge. I already have the edge. I have Goathead nation in my corner….. (I probably should have run this by you all first, huh?). <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I’ve been living on a diet of nothing but Stinger Honey wafers and GU for the last three months. My Yoga instructor tells me she’s never seen such rapid weight loss. I’ve found 37 new uses for Mad Alchemy Embrocation, including hair gel and tooth paste. Most of the others involve my wife so I’ll keep that to myself. I failed my last physical because I refused to take off my compression tights at the doctor’s office. He obviously doesn’t know what it’s like to be committed to something. And don’t worry, if the weather is bad, I’ve got base layers for my base layers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Consider yourself warned, sir. I will be competing in the Cat 4 race at Swanson on October 1<sup>st</sup>. If you are not at the start line, I will assume that you were not up to the challenge.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Good luck,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Lumpy</p>Lumpyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231844256310815480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27904869.post-16691275976727189172011-09-09T18:12:00.002-05:002011-09-09T18:18:01.546-05:00Stop-to-Stop<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uBhOh6__znw/TmqdiMUQiHI/AAAAAAAABEE/-CHMS6C0SIk/s1600/funeral_meat_by_evancampbell-d473qgf-500x641.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uBhOh6__znw/TmqdiMUQiHI/AAAAAAAABEE/-CHMS6C0SIk/s400/funeral_meat_by_evancampbell-d473qgf-500x641.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650501893237016690" border="0" /></a><br />This reminds me............ the calendar says we need to schedule a <a href="http://mtbgoatheads.blogspot.com/2009/10/stop.html">Stop-to- Stop ride</a>.<br />Check your calendars, how about Tuesday, September 20th?

<br />It's been a while since anyone made a post, I guess it's because we've all been singularly focused on fine tuning our bodies for racing........Either that or we've given in to apathy.
<br />
<br />Since the last post, 3 Goatheads competed in the Xterra BOLT Triathlon at Branched Oak.

<br />I apologize for the gratuitous nature of the above picture. I probably should have given you a "Not Safe For Work" warning.
<br />
<br />Results:
<br />Hood: 3rd in division 17th over
<br />Me: 5th in divisions and 27th overall (Hood smoked me on the run)
<br />Jeff: 6th in division 41st overall
<br />
<br />This <a href="http://www.taylorseavey.com/uploads/2/8/2/7/2827570/john_klish.pdf">Guy</a> won the overall race
<br />
<br />This <a href="http://www.gojessi.com/">Girl</a> won the female division
<br />
<br />Following the race they were offered honorary Goathead memberships with no dues for a year.....I have not heard back from them yet.Lumpyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16231844256310815480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27904869.post-21821369621036107922011-07-02T12:10:00.007-05:002011-07-02T12:42:22.866-05:00Trek Bus to LandahlIn a warm-up trip for a what will hopefully be a Trek Bus Trip to Colorado, 10 riders loaded up and headed down to Landahl in KC. If you have never been down there, it is definitely worth the trip, even after you add an hour because of the I-29 detours. The common theme for most of the guys riding was "why have we never been here before? This is fricking awesome".<br />The only thing that wasn't awesome was the heat. 98 degrees and humid meant a whole lot of suffering, but it was totally worth it. Landahl is like nothing we have in Omaha. It has a great mix of fast flowing trails and white knuckle technical sections.<br />The park is a little tough to find, but luckily there is a Trek Store right off the interstate and a couple of miles from the trail head. Stop in there, they would love to give you a trail map and directions to the park.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ONpIeJ42Mqk/Tg9UFsRW3PI/AAAAAAAABDI/0_nUt2WVUxY/s1600/TrekBus.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ONpIeJ42Mqk/Tg9UFsRW3PI/AAAAAAAABDI/0_nUt2WVUxY/s400/TrekBus.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624806916369079538" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v8H8HnU5jvE/Tg9UVUuzTXI/AAAAAAAABDQ/LcNDIkl9q-8/s1600/Trail.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v8H8HnU5jvE/Tg9UVUuzTXI/AAAAAAAABDQ/LcNDIkl9q-8/s400/Trail.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624807184928034162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After a couple of hours of riding, we found shade.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aSzvupXJqLg/Tg9UikFWCpI/AAAAAAAABDY/gFsoMVOJjA4/s1600/Shade.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aSzvupXJqLg/Tg9UikFWCpI/AAAAAAAABDY/gFsoMVOJjA4/s400/Shade.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624807412387416722" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then Big Bear got his second wind and crushed Miah's sternum.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hzyxjuRBR7E/Tg9VKMBCRRI/AAAAAAAABDg/p14iiorYE90/s1600/bigbear.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hzyxjuRBR7E/Tg9VKMBCRRI/AAAAAAAABDg/p14iiorYE90/s400/bigbear.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624808093121660178" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A little more riding, and then off to Zarda's BBQ, a rib joint a couple miles away.

However, we felt the need for some type of adventure. So, on July 1st we are joining with The Trek Store of Omaha (Papio location) and taking a one day trip to KC. We will be riding at Landahal. Haven't you wanted to see if Lumpy is really that good? Do you ever ask yourself, "how good of a rider can a window washer be?" Or if your like me, you want to see how A.B. and his custom made bike can handle rock gardens in Missouri.<br />Guess what for $25.00 you can have all those questions (and more) answered. What you need to do is stop by the Trek Store (Papio) and sign up (and pay) for your trip. We will meet at the store at 5:30 am, pack up the Sprinter Van/Trailer and head South. Sometime Friday evening we will leave KC and return to Omaha. Bring money for meals. <br /><br />This ride is for ANYBODY who likes to mtn. bike. Are you a Psycowpath regular - let's go! Is one lap at Swanson your idea of an endurance event - sign up now. Incredible riding ability is not required, just a desire to ride your bike!
