amateur: n. 1. a person who engages in some art, science, sport, etc. for the pure pleasure of it rather than for money. 2. a person who does something without professional skill...derived from the french word "amare" which means "to love." That's me...Even though I am without professional skill...far from it; I love adventure, I love climbing, I love a good Hard-core Stout, I LOVE DULUTH, MN and I am obsessed with cycling & no one pays me so much as a penny! I am the consummate Amateur...

Metro Challenge does not disappoint...Tim Ek takes the WIN!!!! [Click on THIS to see results...]
Tim Ek and I traveled down to the WEMS Metro Challenge this weekend to partake in their 12 hour event which generously afforded both Tim and I over 125 miles of riding some pretty fun single-track, including lots of tight turns and fast corners....Eki won the whole thing in impressive style, we got to enjoy the company of some top notch fellas, and it was my first time to ever race on a single speed (Note: the SS thang was a blast, my knees are fine, and apart from getting "geared-out" on just a few flat segments, I never felt at a disadvantage!!! Plus with no gears to worry with, itz just one less thing to cloud my slightly flawed/diminished mental capacities). ...A full race recap to follow soon... Thanks WEMS guyz!!!!!!!!!!
Nice work Charlie. Monster milk you say? I may have to give it a shot. See you @ Levis? markburkholz@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteGreat race Charlie!
ReplyDeleteMy wife takes the singlespeed over her geared bike most of the time. She likes the no thinking part about it.
