Well I have been remiss for not posting much lately, but I've been so damn busy I haven't had time. First, for anybody who hasn't been keeping track of Indiahippy, our man in Asia, be sure to check out his blog www.indiahippy.blogspot.com. Very cool watching him get fixed up so he can come back and kick all our asses AGAIN....

The Hellclimb's coming along nicely so far this year. I've been trying to think of a previous season when we were doing the whole route by the first week or two of April and I just can't remember ever doing it. This bodes well for the season. Last week was great, a good turnout and nice to see the Sons of the Hellclimb come out and blow our doors off going up Lookout. Actually, Indiahippy Jr was kind enough to give myself and a couple other old farts a push up the early part of the climb.

Another fun thing to see was Deadly Fredly blast ahead at the beginning of the Gennessee loop then miss the turnoff for the back section. Mississippi G and I were yelling to get his attention, but he was in a zone and didn't hear us at all. Didn't see him again until we were descending Lookout. That's what he gets for ripping that climb and dropping us. He'll think twice about doing that again.

There was one thing that happened that made me wish I'd packed my camera. As Danaco, Mississippi and I were ascending Paradise Hills Rd a big herd of Elk ran down the hill, crossed the road in front of us and leaped the guardrail on the other side. I wish I could post a picture of it here. I need to pack that thing, but it seems like alot to bring along on a ride as hard as the Hellclimb. Guess I'd better get tough and do it.

The weather is supposed to be crappy tomorrow for the ride, hope they're wrong....
