HAHAHAHA. I thought the same thing. That hair still throws me off.

Thanks PJ, the Buell bros, Rich, Rick, Bob, DaveP, Neal and the countless others that have donated so far. You guys are unbelievable and a true class act in this sport.

Donations still being accepted to rufusphotography@mac.com and gulmer@nycap.rr.com for the next few days only.

Even a dollar helps.

See you guys at Whiteface!

E mail from Geoff to the hordes! - - -

Well I'm here with the best mountainbikers in the world, very exciting. I can't send pics because of the internet usage quota that we have. I have 43 other juniors to race against. I'll be riding in a short time and can't wait to get out there.I feel pretty good about my chances but I'll have to pedal strong. It's kind of flat at the end and will favor strong pedalers over technical riders like myself. I'd much prefer a steep long course. Whatever I'll leave nothing behind and will do my best. Australia weather is not at all what I expected cold, windy and rainy so far. The Aussies will have a huge advantage here, they've been riding this course for over a year in preparation for this event. The fans are crazy here, it feels like a big party already 5 days before the race. I feel very lucky to be here.



Thank You,

Geoff

yep he got there fine.

There's a small snip of him in the Mtb Cut video at 1:05 last in the train.

Sounds like USAcycling doing their job well, since he did not expect cold weather...seems that would be the 2nd thing they told him after they asked for the $3500 ;)

Wishing the kid well. Be nice to get another jr american to do well, since JD kinda sh@t the bed since.

Yep, for sure.
And next year, Neko will be old enough to go as well.

are they still going to collect $3500 from people next year if they arent flying and dont need the group airfare break?
hoepfully Neko and Geoff will make it next year, but does Neko need to race a WC event before they select him?

Why not? Specialized will bring him up onto a world cup team and get him hooked up. Or he can move to any other team, Yeti or Intense maybe!!!

i meant if he was having to go through USAC to get there.
and im assuming that UCI team members dont have to pay?
