last night was my 1st dirt ride on my new frame 
at the wed. race, laps were short so I did 2 laps for a preride, and suprisingly (being I built it up) everything worked!! Its so nice to be back rocking the dw link!!
BUT at the start of the race a dude bumped/leaned into me, causing me to crash - then another dude slams into me, chain off, wheel off, bent rotor and bent der. hanger (needless to say I didnt win last night)
note: Both guys apologized after the race

two on one is the most fun, as long as no one knocks heads.stosh said:

love it
its so nice to be able to stand on a climb, or on a sprint and have almost all of my effort actually getting to the rear wheel (compared to losing a ton to pedal bob-ing on my Kona)
tell them you are leaving at 7pm, but then you leave at 7amstosh said:
Well, I get my bike this saturday!!!!! I'm so stoked. Worked out last night, A real good workout, my abb's are a bit sore, but hey, no pain, no gain. The kids went to camp Tuesday morning, so for me and the wife, every night is prom night!
a fist fight should do the job
Splat-didn't know you were still feeling like crap, hope they figure out the deal.
Did the local dirt crit last night. A close race, I had the lead the first three laps and could not shake this guy who just rode my tail the whole time. After dragging him around the first three laps he passed me on a fast flat section and quickly put 30 seconds on me. He though he had me but I went balls to the wall on this tight singletrack downhill section and caught him right before a steep climb to the finish. I stuck on his tail until the last 20 yards and then grunted out a few pedal strokes in a huge gear and took him by a bike length for the win.

It was fun, It is rare I get to duke it out with someone like that. It hurt like a fothermucker though.douglas said:so much more fun than having the lead with no one close!!

Your hanger is replaceable right?

Sorry to hear about the crash/bad luck, DD!
EDIT: mCg beat me to the punch.
I seriously doubt the cause is a too small frame, but if you want a new bike go for it.stosh said:
Do you wear different shoes for your road bike than mountain?
My feet were getting numb but it was because my feet were sliding forward in my shoes and my toes would squished/curled up. If I concentrated on keeping them from sliding, it when away quickly.
Gotta love those guys who try to win the race in the first 20 feet.douglas said:
I didn't ride last night even though the weather was PERFECT. I did turn my Kona back into a singlespeed though, and put a new headset on my road bike (why the hell does a $2400 road bike with all high end parts come with a $2 headset?)
Morning! My family is just back from vacation so I had to sit through the pics and stories last night...not too bad, they gave me dinner and dessert 
Today I am working in the yard for a bit. We're totally altering our landscaping (trimming, removing some, adding) and I just want it to be done!!! Other than that, hopefully a ride tonight, but I am still waiting on my heart rate monitor to arrive so I can really ride!
