Overall, a durned good year:

• Though my race season wasn't what I hoped (broken bike), I did do my 1st 24-hour race @ Dalton
• Got my 1st house
• Took some great mtb trips like Snowshoe, Diablo, Bromont, Whiteface, etc.
• Monkeyfest II
• Managed to go to Plattekill about as often as I wanted
• Got a new job as a direct employee

On the flip side,

• Bush won the election
• Our favorite riding spot isn't what it was
• I got more riding-related injuries than previous years

Looking very forward to '05 -- already saving time & $$ for Whistler.

You guys crack me up.

Decent year.
- The Lemming Run
- Monkeyfest '04
- 24 Hours of the Adirondacks
- Built a bunch of new trail
- No injuries to speak of, no major bike breakage
- Lots of riding in general
- Got a little better at jumping

But...
- Could have ridden more.
- Stress at work continues to be high. Nice people, interesting, but continual stress.

Well I am happy Bush won. Mad the end of the year awesome.

I finished building my VT only to find that Giant introduces the even cooler Reign. Oh well.

I moved to Southern Utah for school so I can ride on my favorite trails all the time.

I met a ton of really cool people at school and found some really nice riding buddies.

I didn't have any serious injuries at all. No huge amounts of skin missing, no broken bones or concussions. First time in a long time that has happened. Not complaining.

Got to ski western powder for the first time.

Bought a new truck and paid cash for it. No repossesion.

I started coming to Ridemonkey on a regular basis.

Lots of other stuff it was pretty cool.



Bad Stuff-

parents got divorced

Drunk hit my new truck

The mormons at school trying to convert me

Rode and skiied to much so I lost my scholarship.
