the suspense is killin me.

could there be a fourth team member?

the latest

the sponsors have been finalized and it's an impressive list. check the latest press release. planet has compiled the best products for us to ride, now the legs just have to take care of the rest.

the new home of the darkness cyclocross wanderings has arrived. im relatively new to the sport. ive raced three seasons. the first two i did six races a season. last year it stepped up to twelve.

in two thousand seven i had the great support of bob brown cycles. bob built me a killer custom rig outta reynolds 953. rides like a dream. plus i can ride my twenty niner fatties in it. great for the gravel grinders. this is a rig i will never give up and continue to ride the hell out of until i no longer can. anyways, the year happened to be a break out season of sorts. i had solid results culminating with a wisco state championship followed by a win in the us ss nationals.

i chatted a bit with bob downs of planet bike at nationals. he's an all around great guy and super fast  racer. a few months pass by and i get an email from my friend dpow about joinin on with their team. it sounded like a great opportunity. i graciously accepted. the support seems to be snowballing into more than i couldve ever imagined. i will join jonathan page and tristan schouten as the members of the elite team.

with the support of pb, my cx schedule will be comprised of a lot more high profile events. it will also be my first shot at racing a shifting bike, at least some of the time. we have welcomed the support of ridley bikes, trp brakes, and vermarc clothing thus far. the rest of the sponsors will be announced soon. check the press.

this portion of the blog may stay fairly dormant until the dollar bills start flappin outta bras like willows in the wind. in the meantime, ill keep it up to date with sponsor developments and schedule updates.
