Mical Dyck, SSCXWC champ!

Big news out of LA.

Mical Dyck, good friend and compatriot of the Stuckylife crew, keeps racking up wins this season.

The Leechtown Invitational: Race Recap no.2

Yesterday morning started out grey, but unexpectedly dry.
After several cups of coffee, some last-minute preparation, and lots of indecision about glove choice, I got out the door and down to Recyclistas and the Switch Bridge for registration.

24 racers started, with an always fascinating array of competitors. A good portion chose cross bikes for the day, with a handful on road bikes. A couple of bold SSCXers, and two gallant brakeless track bikes.

A rolling start saw racers through the first 16 km of trail, providing time to strategize, chat, and check out the competition.

As soon as we were across Veterans Memorial, it was game on.

Leechtown

Today was the first of which I hope are many, Leechtown races.
For those of you not familiar with what or where Leechtown is, take a look.

 In my usual procrastinating way I decided to build my Masi SS late last night for the "race." I figured that a SS would be safe as most of the @stuckylife guys run singles. Man was I surprised when the only two SS ( not including the fixies) were Pro city boys, Colin being the other. Well, no refunds so nut up and enjoy the hurt!

Get Well Soon!

Our good friend Regan had a nasty crash recently, resulting in a broken clavicle and scapula. Thanks to a metal plate, 9 screws and some surgery he is on the road to recovery and will hopefully be back on his bike in 6 weeks. Check out (formerly) Fully Rigid Racer for a full synopsis of the crash and check out Regan's Flickr for some gruesome pre/post surgery photos.
Get well soon Regan! Hope to see you back on your bike in time for CX season!

Hal not impressed with Parker's 27min winning time.

A couple of weeks ago, Mical and I decided to help out C-Dub and Brandon with the first alleycat of the year. Our checkpoint is usually the best: at The Chainline Massacre, we awarded a time bonus to racers who applied a "FIXIES ARE LAME" sticker to their frame (surprisingly, a lot of folks still have it on there bikes). Sadly, the cold weather meant that a lot of the letters didn't stick; you may see " IXIES ARE  AME" a lot around town. At this event, we hosted the beer-chug-for-a-spoke-card checkpoint.\
