It’s sunny and warm today for the first time in over 2 weeks. The trails at Rock Cut have been unridable due to the sloppy weather, so I’m looking forward to a ride this afternoon.

April in the midwest is ify anyway and the “Do the Rock” race was rained out twice, so the Rock Cut Trail Crew decided to just cancel it this year and reschedule for next year. So I have a bunch of raffle swag and 2 boxes of outdated t-shirts to store in my garage until then. My wife will love that. Bummer.

Still planning a race episode for the next TrailTapes TV show. We’ll have an interview with the Kegel’s/Bad Ass Coffee WORS racing team. As I type this, they’re on their way to Alpine Valley in southern, WI, to pre-ride the WORS race that will happen there tomorrow. Holiday weekend next weekend, then up to Wausau, WI to race at 9-Mile.

I’ll be in San Francisco in early June and am working to line up a story with Marin Bikes. SRAM has invited TrailTapes for a tour of their Chicago facility and looking good for a tour of the TREK machine shop up in Waterloo, WI and, if I’m really lucky, might get some helmet cam footage of the TREK test track in the woods across the street, which I’m told is very cool.
