Stewart super six pack!!

the Stewart Super Six Pack went off without a hitch! well done boys and girls!
the best part is that "we", the mayor, myself and the Ravinator all got to race!! super fun times!


i wrote a very clever and witty blog post congratulating everyone on their performance but blogger ate it! argh!!
so this is all you get!!

send me your reports and photos and i will post them up.
great job out there everybody and it was a pleasure being in the Darkhorse Jersey versus the Hawaiian shirt for the day!!!

SSAP 2011 in photos

these just about sum up the 2 extremes of Darkhorse racing.......

Monte locked and loaded. looking determined to defend the crown. on his way to victory rocking the #1 plate!! hoorah Monte!!

CDUBS.......loaded for.......or just loaded? chasing the chinamen into DFL...
he was unable to secure last by the way....nice effort though...

SSAP 2011

holy smokes!

team darkhorse represent!!

Monte with the victory and 3-peat! EPIC!!!!!!

Aaron bringing it home for NY men with the victory and fastest overall time!!!

awesome day out there guys and gals!!

2011? already?

ummm. yeah so this blog has been a little dormant lately.......
oops!!
so 2011! holy crap!
how was your 2010? the Darkhorse gang had a damn good time and did a bit of racing as well!!

Monty continued to ride ridiculously fast! he has a new super secret training program and rumor has it a whole new outlook on things!! stay tuned! all i can say is if you race in the pro class i feel sorry for you!

c-dubs, despite our best efforts to "transfer" him to another squad, will be back in 2011 in Darkhorse colors. argh! check in to his blog for "updates" on all things some what cycling related. he has a bum hip that despite copious amounts of "chinese" herbal cures continues to be an issue.but like a true hero he soldiers thru the pain with the help of pure agave nectar and mental instability!

check in on the Mayor and Rave on the "book of faces" to see what sort of nifty happenings are occurring in the new digs! yup thats right! a new HQ! if you haven't set foot in the cycling mecca of the greater Hudson valley you are truly missing out. the kegerator made the transition intact and continues to pour smooth frosty libations!

2011 races are up on bikereg! so get over there and sign up already! i'm tired of hearing George tell me that we don't have enough people registered 6 months in advance!

if you have news or notes send them our way and we will post them up!

happy 2011!

is this thing on?

ok ok ok.
i have neglected the team blog. sorry. really i am sorry.

so with race season officially open, ssap in the books and some little race thing over at waywayanda this weekend maybe i should do some updating? yeah i guess so!!

if you have race reports from either ssap or wayway or granogue send them thru and i will post them up.

sunday saw the mayor, c-dubs, 2 beer tom and hawaiian mike out for a road ride. all was going well until c-dubs figured out where we were and how he could get home and started to turn the screws. i gave chase and caught on. the mayor well he just kept on trucking. as the heat rose off the pavement we continued to play roadbike games. hammering head down, tongue wagging, inches from the wheel in front of you as your vision blurs.....good times, unless your the mayor.....
he wanted a nice long social ride. well it was nice and long and it was social for a while....
suffice to say the mayor was displeased with our behavior.
a few cans of Dales made it better though!!

so, get me some reports from the field!!!!!!!

THE 40!

The forty is up on Bikereg.
registration makes a great holiday gift!!

sign up and stick a darkhorse in your stocking!!!!

2010 Singlespeed-a-polooza!

check here for more info!!!!

be there! all the cool kids will be!

New motto?

so somewhere on the leaf strewn trails of stewart this sunday and epic line was uttered by the mayor himself in only a way that he could deliver it......

"THIS SPORT IS STUPID"

and if you really think about well.....i try not to.

i would have to agree and i think this should be the new team darkhorse racing tagline.

don't be surprised to see this emblazoned on the back of some team shirts next season!!

24 or 11 in Moab...... grown men behaving badly!

so while I suffered the indignity of an early arctic blast whilst chained to the east coast, the better part of the darkhorse singlespeed syndicate headed out west for some good times!

breweries, desert singletrack, bike with one gear, and grown men acting a fool...... what more coiuld you ask for?

read here for the gory details from c-dubs himself.

i'm not sure if i am better or worse off for having missed this......hmmmm.......

Moab looms large and interesting phone calls at the HQ

darkhorse racing headquarters, 4:00pm........

(the HQ private line rings)
HM "C-dubs we don't care what flavor scented bath oil you bring to moab...stop calling here..."

"umm, yes is this darkhorse racing HQ?"

HM "umm, yes. sorry about that we have been getting some nuisance calls lately...ummm from ummm well its a long story. how can i help you?"

"this is Sheriff John T Nofunn at the Moab county sheriffs department. we hear that you may be sending a crew out here for the 24hrs of moab?"

HM "yes sir, you are correct. umm, how did you get this number?"

"homeland security has it on speed dial after that incident with c-dubs in Baja. but well we like to run a quiet little town out here. its bad enough that these damn hippy mountain bikers have taken a likin to riding on our truck tracks but now they gotta have some sort of all night "race". sounds to me more like one of them weirdo freak retreats or something... banging drums, bonfires, and grown men hanging around without their pants on.... sickening...."

HM "umm, ok but why exactly are you calling..."

"let me cut right to the chase here son. we ain't gonna be puttin up with the same kind of tomfoolery that you can get away with down there in west virginia. we'll let you marry as many ladies as you like but we gotta draw the line....."

HM "umm, i'm sure our crew will be on their best behavior...."

"dont give me that crap. i got six boxes of files on one of your "team" members alone. damn son, and the fbi told me that they dont have it in their budget to photocopy their files on him. they said it would be cheaper to fly me to washington....let alone what the mexican. south african, and the pennsylvania authorities have told me."

HM "umm, well ok. umm..."

"you just tell them we will be waiting. we just finished a new underground wing at our county lock-up. it will be mighty nice for them......"

HM "umm, ok, I appreciate the call and all. umm, have a great day......."

"hey, el jefe, we might want to double the "incidental occurrences" ie bail fund, um check that may triple it!!!!!!!

shenandoah calling!

the boys went to shen.
blood was spilt, beer was drunk and one came out a victor!
i wasn't there so i will send you to the places you ned to be sent to read up on it.
i missed the big picnic in the mountains and for that i will be eternally bummed....argh.

oh well.
congrats to all who went and survived! especially to c-dubs for killing it even after 3 days of "camping" with top-chef, the mayor gets the "i will finish this bitch award", and monty gets the "who the fuck is this guy and how did he kick all our asses" award in the ss cat!
