Have fun skiing! I’m off the church and Sunday school and then home for a family birthday dinner! I’m making homemade Mac-n-cheese and have a fudge cake with whipped ganache frosting and a tangy chocolate cream cheese filling!

Fuckin' work on a Sunday. Somebody gonna get hurt real bad! I volunteered my time to help them this morning, but told them under no circumstances am I staying past 11am. This building has been in the process of moving to a new ERP system for almost a year now and have spent probably close or over 2 million dunkeroos on the project. You'd think the thing I'm trying to work out would have been planned or fixed a year ago, not the week before the cut over date? Meh........

Awesome ride yesterday. Deep snow in the forest, which was kind of "pushy" and slippy in section. A tad too much tire pressure and those conditions made for effortless two wheeled corner drifting. The fat bike tires make that so damn easy to do.....

I rode this yesterday on the West Coast of Denmark. Ocean is on the other side of the bluffs to the right:



Had planned to the CX Worlds today here in Denmark but then my son decided to get sick plus I had to have him checked out for a concussion.

Sorry to hear about your son. It was bananas, especially all those totally wasted belgian and dutch fans cheering on their riders. Was a dutch day though, ladies U23 was a complete dutch sweep and the guy in the pic won the men's race.

In hell. Welcome!
Just got back from a fantastic day of skiing at Cannon mountain. Not as much ice as usual (boo!), weather relatively nice but according to Cannon tradition "interesting" - lower mountain with shitty runs warm and sunny, upper mountain with icy goodness in freezing fog and 20 degrees colder.

Edit: almost forgot to mention that the only car in a ditch causing massive delays on the interstate was a jeepFiat Cherokee...

65*...great dig. roughed in an alternate loop off the main trail with some nice rocks, a few smaller jumps, and this rock drop across the main trail. 9yo for scale. it goes down into a gully, so there are some nice options for hips, etc, before looping back into the main trail. super stoked.
take off is above his head; landing is barely visible, fresh dirt, lower right.

the run in, maybe 75% done

from the lip, lander is the fresh dirt.


now, beers and nacho making.

That’ll make for some great footage when someone clips a tree mid air.

I built up a BOSEbuild speaker kit with Mariko this afternoon. Fun project and educational. @Pesqueeb and @stoney I bet your daughters would enjoy building it up similarly.

Sounds like a lot of fun to me and the weather was perfect too. I passed the exit to Bogense on the highway when the mens race starter so I would not have been able to make it. Really sucks but I feel better knowing the kids does not have a concussion. Why were you at the race?

Spectating and taking pics, I live 20 mins away. A German online road bike mag is using my pics for their articles although they are not at all pro quality. Sweet!
