Death of a Yellow Frame

I witnessed the final ride and the last day of the yellow Guess bike I had given to Gunnar one year ago. The frame cracked at the damper mount on the down tube. After eleven years the Guess USA 2001 found a decent end. I am glad I saw the crack when I took a closer look at the frame. Gunnar's new bike is a Specialized Big Hit from 2009, which will help him to become a better freerider and downhiller.

Im out!

   Last Saturday after finishing building my GT, I went for a light XC ride.
My plan was a nice 2 hour round trip to a local trial.
I was doing great and enjoying the I-drives superb bobbles ability to put the power down and climb.

Then it was time for the DH!
The trail was extremely rocky due from heavy erosion after the monsoons hit us this early July.
About mid way down the trail I was laying on my back with dust in my month, torn shorts, a broken belt and an unbelievable pain in my right shoulder.

I was taken out by the trail.
My front tire falling in a hole ended up throwing my 2-3 metes down the steep trial.
In fact I have no recollection of anything bad happening.
I was just down.

I tumbled through the air landing on my right shoulder.
The impact pushed my shoulder out the front of the socket breaking my Scapular Coracoid Process!

Im in terrible pain and wont be back for a while.

Please Ride hard and enjoy the summer!


I wish everyone the best!
RidEOn!

The Marin and the Penmachno Trails

During our week in North Wales we stayed at Betws-y-Coed, right between the Penmachno trail and the Marin, which was the first purpose-built MTB trail in the UK. Having ridden the complete Marin trail in 2009 we knew our way around and could take a pick of the best sections this time. The Penmachno was a challenge we still had to face, so we spent six hours there enjoying the singletrack and the scenery.
