Fox River Socks

It's been roughly 800km's of trail mileage since I received a pair of Fox River AXT-1 socks from www.runningfree.com.

It has been miles of trails and many river crossings. They have held up well to the abuse. They drain well after being submerged during river and creek fordings. Even when wet these wool athletic socks are still comfortable.



Gotta give the guys at foxsox.com for the AXT-1's as they sure can take a beating.

Play Misty For Me

Another day of hill work. And of course it had to be harder then usuall, last week heat, this week rain. Oh well, Bring it on





The real fun of the Rouge rocks and roots

Zippers

Used the new jersey today. It's a really nice one with a full zipper in the front. I really like it and with the full zip can change the jersey without taking of my helmet.

This full zip got me thinking today. So when i got home from my ride I emailed the Special Projects Team with an idea. They argree that it is a good idea and are presently looking into stuff that will be good for all.

Festivus of Gear

Well, it's been an exellent couple of days. One of the supporters of Team NFI made a gear donation to the team. The gentlemen gave the team a new Fox Flux helmet to try.

This was so unexpected plus am celebrating the cost savings. Now all that is needed is for the special projects team to finish the present special project they are working on. Having a meeting with them on Tuesday to finalize some details.

On the other front, am meeting with both my coach plus equipment tester. Have to plan out the coming weeks training.

Distractions

Been a busy couple of days with Gabriele and such. Haven't had much time to post. Especially since we are at Joely's Aunts place for the week.

Have been riding and have found a potential DH line. Plus have pretty much got the Chromag Stylus set up the way I want it. Will post up more with pic's later.

Into the void

Tonight dusted off the headlamp to do a night ride. It's been 6 months since the last night ride. I should do more. There are skills one can gain from riding at night, the ability to see things at a glance.

Though the bonus of getting away from the relatives is good to.

That Was Fun

Today was another hill climb day. Decided that that some overclimbing was the ticket today and went to Ben Trash to settle the account.

The goal was 10 intervals up the acces road. The road takes about 5.5 minutes to climb. Kepr a good cadence through out with only some minor difficulty in the middle.

When I got home you could see the salt stains on my shorts and jersey. Signs of a good session.

The only downside was the fact my helmet which is a dirt jumper style does not breath at all. Still waiting for some more money so I can buy the Fox Flux I want.
