Right around this time of year, at least for the last few years I've found myself taking a look back at how the race season went and dropping bombs on weird plans for the coming year. To date I've tagged sprint triathlons, almost slayed adventure racing only to be derailed by the Universe but the alternative opportunities that presented themselves in AR's absence have been pretty sweet so I'm not complaining.
NEMBA Racing has really come into its own this year and I am pretty motivated to stay heavily involved. Racing mountain bikes has a whole new aspect to it that makes it even more appealing to focus on now. I feel like I'm right on the cusp of being pretty fast and with the added motivation and support from a full blown team I think I might be able to make that jump. I've made continued improvements in my confidence with some of my placings this year and I'm thinking about actually upgrading some of my tech and dropping some weight from the bike for next year to try and give myself some of the advantages everyone else enjoys. Right now I'm thinking of a nice light carbon fork (I think I'm done with suspension for good) and finally going tubeless with some nice light hoops.
So next year I'll continue to attack the EFTA series looking for yet better results and maybe another top 3 in the overall. I want a sub 7hr NH100 and I would like to get in a 12 or 24hr now that I can pretty much guarantee I could field a 4 man team without even having to try that hard. I'm also thinking about making stabs at Singlespeed-a-palooza and I've heard chatter about SSUSA2012 being in VT...might be worth checking out.
I'm also interested in getting some big mile touring rides in next year. I really liked the challenge and adventure aspect of really big point to point rides. I'm thinking I'd like to try some sort of multi-day trek I just need to figure out something that makes sense. I recently found out about these guys, http://nerandonneurs.org/, and I am intrigued by the format. Only problem now is similar to mountain bike racing 5-6 years ago, I'm the only one I know looking into stuff like this with an appropriate bike ready to go. I'd settle for a few more big road rides next year, its always fun getting in a few big passes/gaps.
Off season training will be similar to years past, nothing too weird to get ready for tri's or AR just a whole lot of strength training to get ready for skiing and continue to build for next year. This winter is looking up, already flakes flying as well as whispers of some epic trips in the works. I'm hoping to increase my number of AT days this year as well as get some ridiculous camera courage with D-Bone and make the stupidest edit ever (pro callout).
It also is appearing like I have to take this blog up a notch. I have always sort of putzed along but on a recent check of my STATS it appears like I have gotten over 10% of my traffic over the last 5 years in the last month. (HI EVERYONE!) Not sure how I take things up a notch, more content? new content? should I buy a domain?

Sandown MTB Challenge
More late season MTB racing! I love it! This one seemingly came out of nowhere, hadn't been on the radar at all heading into this weekend and while browsing EFTA for TVR results I noticed Maz has posted that he would be at the Sandown MTB Challenge with the EFTA tent...hmmm.
Initially I thought I was out of luck due to my plans to help Naro on his house this weekend but upon further review I realized that Sandown is just a few towns west of Kensington. I gave Chris a call to see what time he wanted to get going Saturday. He said he was looking forward to sleeping in a bit and Noon would be fine. Race is from 9am-11am...SCORE.
Right around now is when I started making some silly assumptions. For some reason I'm thinking smaller race, partnered with a little festival they probably want it family friendly so the course will probably be pretty mellow. I then looked at a really inaccurate topo map and convinced myself the race would be flat and fast. I threw the 18 tooth on figuring I would need it to keep from spinning out. Wrong on all counts.
Course had some fast sections but it was also fairly technical in spots, nothing crazy but a few tricky spots requiring full attention. Also a decent amount of punchy climbing as well as a longer gradual fire road climb that had me climbing very sluggishly with the 18. I had some issues with the punchy stuff as well because my tires were not handling the grease very well and as soon as I would try and get up and get those 1-2 good power strokes to get momentum for the up and over those strokes would just spin out and I would be running.
I got off to an ok start sitting 3rd behind EFTA regulars Andy Gould and Jesse Taylor. A few of the DG Cycles guys were yelling "Somebody tell that guy to shift!" at me heading up the first little rise. Eventually Mark Tucker got by me (per usual) never to be seen again until he half lapped me heading back from the second lollipop loop as I was heading in a few laps later. A short while later Doug Reid came by (another fast EFTA Sport rider, but could prob be Expert) I was able to hold his wheel through the back half of the first lap until we came to one of those tricky little sections with a blind bridge hidden behind a tree/rock in a little steep section. I had not pre-ridden and didn't know it was there. I was probably riding too close and too fast...Doug called the bridge out as he slowed sharply to make the slight turn. I came in pretty hot and the braking forces were too much and as soon as my already greased up tire touched the bridge it slid out and I rode off the side to crash fairly spectacularly.
Lost Doug's wheel and then hung out about 1-2mins behind him for the rest of the race in 5th. Things stayed that way for the remainder of the day. The 18 was wearing on me and I slowed a little each lap and finally cashed it in after completing 5 as I realized going out for 6 would get me nothing more than more mud. Andy and Mark came through 1st & 2nd a few minutes later finishing their 6th and were both greater men than I heading out for 7. My 5 laps was good for 5th.

why am I the only one without SOLO written next to my name???
The race was pretty well organized for the size of the event. It's a good spot to facilitate a race. With some more trail work and a bit more mileage I could see this being an EFTA race. They would need to eliminate the short 'two-way' section of singletrack but that wouldn't be too hard with just a new small trail put in to turn that lollipop into a full blown loop. The festival was cool; food vendors and local groups were there as well as a little bluegrass trio complete with banjo and fiddle.
I forgot to request dueling banjos...next time.
This area of NH is REALLY into scare crows. Saw tons on the drive in. Quaint and HORRIFYING
We chatted with the promoter a bit after the race. She puts on one other race and its coming up on, I believe, Dec 10th at Fort Rock called the Cold Crank Challenge. That's right a winter MTB race at one of the most technical spots in New England. I'm not sure if she has any info up online yet but I am intrigued and will be sharing as I learn more.

Treasure Valley Rally EFTA NECS #8
The 2011 race season is in the books. I am simultaneously a little bummed and very pleased with how it ended and simultaneously happy and very sad that it is over. I can very easily say this was the most fun I have had going through the season. Our now well established NEMBA Racing team makes race day much more enjoyable. It is funny now to think back to '06 when I decided to get back into racing, showing up week in and week out by myself, hardly knowing anyone finishing dead last in the SS class a good 30-45mins off the pack...such a sad story.
But now I know just about everyone who races a bike in New England and all that toil is finally starting to pay off.
I can't remember why I haven't done this race the past two years...maybe the usual proximity to the NH100? Last time I did it was '08. I remember that race fondly because it was a milestone in my racing career. I had come in third in the NECS the year prior due primarily to just showing up every race. I was knocking on third again but in order to keep my spot I had to beat someone I had never beaten before. Long story short, I was able to pull it off. That was the first time I started to think I actually had a shot at being as fast as the guys blowing me out by 30mins. Progress was being made, there was hope.
Fast forward 3 years and it is back to the TVR. I like this course, it is really hard and quite brutal to ride but it combines it all. You need legs, lungs, and spot on technical riding skills to do well. I had felt really good coming into this week and I was looking forward to just letting it hang out to see what I could do. I had almost even planned on not bringing tools/tube to save weight and go 'all in' from the start, luckily I changed my mind. The start was a little rushed but I think there were something like 10-11 SSers. I got a decent jump off the line and was sitting about 4th heading into the first section of the course.
I felt strong heading up the first few sections of climbing and heading into the first set of really technical sections I was hitting my lines and really liking my chances. Then as fate would have it I was railing a turn and there must have been a perfectly shaped sharp rock hidden by some leaves right in the trough I was using as a slightly banked turn. Usually I am soft enough on the bike to absorb shots like this one but because I was in the middle of a corner things were pretty locked out and there were a lot of forces in play. All those forces went straight from rock to rim and I knew immediately I was toast. I was able to ride it a bit longer but it started getting squirelly on me and I had to pull over just past a little rock wall. There were some other casualties in this area as well. I watched as all the SSer's and a line of Experts and then Sport riders ride by as I worked on changing my flat. Shaun came up about halfway through the fix after having some chain issues.
We had a chat about the state of the economy and then got back on the trail. Initially I was thinking the day had turned into 'just out for a ride' but eventually I started feeling a little 'randy' and decided I was going to stick to my original plan of hanging it out. I knew this course was gonna be hard for a lot of people to stick with for the full distance. It wears on you and if there is one strength I have compared to other riders it is the ability to take a beating. I was pretty sure if I stayed on the gas I would catch at least one of the guys who passed me so I set to it.
And its a good thing I can take a beating because I got one. It was fun though. One of those fun beatings. I was catching SSer's before long and that just made it more fun. I caught 2 during the end of the first lap and 2 more during the last lap. I spotted them almost 10mins and still almost finished where I had been when I flatted. Looking at results the two I caught on the last lap lapped through 5mins before I did. Bummed about the flat due to the 'what could have been' aspect but I couldn't be more pleased with how things went. Finished the race strong and the season strong.

The Making of 'Mighty Chicken: A Tribute'
Almost 3 years ago Scott P., George L., myself and the Tilton School MTB team embarked on the beginnings of a trail project. A natural ravine at Franklin Falls was begging for more than just the trail shooting down the middle. Chicken Ravine needed an upgrade...
Our crew spent the morning roughing in what would become Mighty Chicken. It doesn't quite exist in the same form today as it did that day but its close. We have probably gone through a few minor tweaks and two more major revisions. Additional bench cutting, increasing the radius of a few of the turns for better flow and adding a new section on the end for a bit extra tech/excitement. I am pretty proud of what it has become. Franklin Falls has been attracting a lot of riders from all over New England lately and usually when bumping into riders in the parking lot they'll be asking how to get to Mighty Chicken.
The word is getting out and I felt it needed some proper documentation and some time in the Internet 'spotlight'. Plus I've wanted to try making a more planned out edit with the goPro for awhile but have just never had the time. I got a weird morning time window before an afternoon b-day party yesterday that wasn't long enough for any projects around the house but just about long enough to get an edit filmed. Or at least I hoped...luckily I was right.
I had a song in mind, and some ideas for shots I wanted in my head but no real concrete plan of attack. When I got on the scene I started walking the ravine trying to get everything straight in my head about how I wanted to go about this. Turns out keeping all this stuff straight is actually kind of hard. No wonder movies need like 500 people on set to spread the work around. I thought far enough ahead to bring a little notebook so I started drawing rough layouts with notes on where I wanted to get certain shots and then recording which video was which shot so editing would go quicker.
Each turn was numbered and I set up and got shots linearly as I went from top to bottom. It actually ended up being a pretty good workout because certain shots if I didn't really like the way I rode a section I would stop, dismount and run back up and ride it again trying to go as fast as possible to try and save on parsing and editing time later.
Some of the shots I wanted required some MacGyver'ing. That's right up my alley so it was no issue. One bungee cord just about handled any tricky shots I needed. I used the goPro tripod mount exclusively and was only getting third person shots, nothing on the bike. Camera was either on the ground on in the trees.

tree-pod
Hey Dad does that tri-pod look familiar? I believe you rocked that in the 70's with your Nikon. I think its return on investment is doing fairly well. Trying to get things lined up was tricky at times. It is interesting trying to shoot a 'creative edit' without being able to look at anything you are getting until you get home. I goofed twice getting my finger in my first shot of the trail sign (didn't make the final vid, obviously) and getting the bungee cord in another shot. That one did make the vid because it was kind of crucial to connect the big sweeping turn 7 into the bottom half of the trail. Oh well. Considering I couldn't see any of the shots I was getting and I was rushing some of the setups due to our awesome second surge of mosquitoes thanks to Irene I thought it came out really well.
I got some weird condensation/hazyness in a few of the shots, not really sure why. The temps were swinging pretty strong. It was probably 40 when I got started and almost 60 by the time I was done. Not sure if that was it or not. Kinda bummed because a few of the shots are lower quality because of it but it does add a weird kind of surreal effect that sort of works I guess.
I'm going to call this a success though. Decided I was gonna try it Friday morning and I'm posting a finished product Sunday morning that I'm pretty proud of. Not half bad. Enjoy. I'll embed it here but I think its better to watch it at Vimeo with more resolution...just sayin'.

Bear Brook Hero Ride
Nowadays between primarily leading weekly NEMBA rides and getting together to ride with friends I don't often find myself suiting up for friendly hammerfests. This year has changed that a bit. My involvement with NEMBA Racing has gotten me connected with plenty of folks that love to suffer and are hellbent on getting faster. Not a bad thing but man does it hurt.
Shawn Smith (AKA the Ride Bully) is exceptionally adept at attracting fast riders to his rides and he loves planning BIG days and seeing how the cards (or riders) fall. I was on the fence about this one because I had some stuff to get done around the house but Saturday I was very efficient and was able to free myself up to tag along. Unfortunately for me I started scanning the email thread and the roll call was looking like a bunch of fast guys and some even faster guys for good measure (like guys who race Pro/Elite and two Expert Vet I podium finishers at the NH100, 1st and 3rd, fast). It's been awhile since I've been one of the slow guys in a group ride of 8-10.
But this is good, I feel like I've plateaued a bit lately. I've been getting stronger every year but I'm at that point where if I want to get any faster I have to find some local heroes and get on their wheels, or try to get on their wheels anyway. Today was tough, the heat was actually pretty brutal for Sept and the pace was constant, not blistering but always fast.
I got off to a really ridiculous start, ride was almost over before I even made it a mile. We were cruising along in the equivalent of a neutral rollout (15mph on flatish singletrack) and I was chatting with Steve about how wide his seatstays were on his new SS and then I was on the ground looking back at Carl asking him what the hell just happened. Turns out I struck my pedal on a stump and my bike stopped dead and I went flying. Quite hilarious really. It happened so fast I had no clue, just a loud noise and me airborne. For reference imagine securing a braided steel cable; one end to your bike and the other end to a 4 ton cement block in the parking lot. The cable is about 4 tenths of a mile long...now ride away from the parking lot at a brisk pace. Unfortunately because we hadn't even gotten a mile away from the parking lot my goPro was not on...woe is me.
Banged up my left knee a bit on impact but it was decent for the rest of the ride (stiffening up nice now though). I think the heat was affecting some of my trail awareness and reaction time because I was having a real issue with pedal strike all day which is usually never an issue. And my pedals are now totally whupped, they were old as it was but now one of the bearings sounds like a duck quacking when you spin it.
Unfortunately I hit the stop button on my Garmin with one of my appendages while I continued forward and my bike did not so my data got a bit messed up because it took me awhile to notice. My legs felt pretty good. Most everything else didn't though thanks to the heat but I've got some good post NH100 fitness going. Hopefully I can stay strong through the last few races of the year. I am really looking forward to some 60 degree riding temps after today. Can't wait for Fall riding.
Made a quick edit with the footage I got. Tried a new angle but didn't want to mess with it much because I was too busy trying to keep up with those damn speed demons. I'm not sure how I feel about the new angle. I like the perspective but it does a hell of a job flattening everything out. Even the steep techy descents look basically pancake flat. Kind of a bummer, I was hoping some of the footage was going to look much better, but I like how it came out. Time to drive some traffic to NEMBA Racing...for the vid go here.
