Nice stuff boys. I’ve recently broken out my old MTB and slung a few upgrades on it, largely as a result of reading about all the fun y’all seem to have, as well as the fun my roadracing buddies are having MTB racing. Yes, crossover culture. Pretty weird, huh? A couple of them – the fat ones oddly enough – seem to be better on the MTB than on the road bike. Wassup with that? Not like they’ll be a threat on the Worlds scene, they do tend to crash a lot more than the full-time MTB’ers. It has to be said that compared to skinny dudes on Colnagos, oaks, maples and fir trees don’t do a very good job of getting out of the way when you elbow them.

As for me on the MTB? I stink unless I stop paying attention to what I’m doing, and in that case, I stink a little less.
