Woolastook 5 : Pony up, Clydesdales!



































Woot! Woot! Here it is! First MTB race of the season. I'm supposed to team up with Get Rheal, but I see they are offering a SS cat. Hmmm. This is why I'm not team player... podiums are only so big. Especially, now that I'm whipping on my newest steed.

Like a new cat. She gets to stay inside for couple of days.


But, why, Lucky? Why? Your flat broke and Mrs. Lucky is threatening to cut off your beer allowance. For the love of dog and all that is wholly, WHYYYYY?

These wheels were the deal breaker!

You say no. No, no, really... say it right now while looking at this picture.
HA! You can't... Nobody can. Kudos to Glen who built this beauty and gave me a great deal on it before he left for "Little Newfoundland" or Fort McMurray, some call it.

I, personally, like the addition of the Clydesdale category in the 2009 Woolastook 5 hr (ECMTB has added an hour this year, as well. Sadistic bastards!) , even tough I would need 2 fat suits to get in on that heavy action. I wanna see a fat guy on a single speed cleeeean house!

It's even in my new town, so pre-race camping at my place for BBQ, effervescent carbohydrate shakes and review of the safety meeting minutes.

I'm very, very, very eeekcited... very.

  1. Being a Clydesdale myself, I wish those racers the best!

    Cool wheels, by the way. Does that lace pattern offer any strengths, or does it just look cool? Weaknesses?

    I've notice nothing, but the same stiffness that I would attribute to any hand built wheel.
