Tulsa OK Area Mountain Bikers

While riding yesterday, getting ready for the race on Sunday, I took a
spill. It was pretty bad, but only because I landed on a pointy rock
right on my lower back/upper butt.

I laid there in the trail,
too much in pain to move if anyone came. Luckily it only hurt really
bad for about a minute. Then I was able to stand up.

After I got
back on my feet and inspected my bike, I decided to finish the ride.
But, after riding just a few feet, I noticed my left crank arm felt
loose.

Great.

This weekend is the Oral Roberts University mountain bike class trip.  I graduated last May but I've been going on the rides with them anyway. 

 Nothing like camping in the Ouachita Mountains for the weekend!  Skipping work on a Friday is awesome!

 I usually take pictures, but I think I'm going to try and take some video instead.

 I'll let you know how it goes!

 Oh, and I got some new gear from a big sale at my LBS.

New saddle, co2 cartridges instead of pump, new shorts... that kind of stuff.

Yeah, my bike is pretty dirty right now.  Oh, and now, I didn't get to ride yesterday, I'm sorry...

Hey everyone, I'm starting a new blog called MTB Noob.  Check it out at www.mtbnoob.blogspot.com

Thanks! 

Well, I made some serious project on my project bike.

Let me give some background information... I recently got married. As a wedding present, my wife and I both got new bikes. She is new to mountain biking but I have been doing it for years. I got an 06 Epic and she got an 06 FSR comp. But my old 03 Hardrock was feeling pretty neglected. It had a few problems... rear derailleur issues, crankarm loosening.. and others. So I decided to turn it into a single speed commuter

Ok, that's pretty good.

Some of you may know but for those that don't, I just graduate from college, got married, and got a real full time job. So I'm quickly realizing that weekends are a gift sent from God himself!

Anyway, I kicked off a weekend of great mountain biking by riding at Turkey Mountain last night. Bad idea. Too wet. I hate messing up the trails like that so luckily my buddies didn't ride much.
