Chillaxin At The North Pole

Oh la la! Look at all this free time. When you spend so many weeks out on the road for 90% of your day, it’s hard to find things to do during theses R&R weeks. You say to yourself so many times, “Not today, I’ll have time for this during the easy week.”, yet now that it is finally here, all I seem to have on the table is some school, some sleep, and some more school. For now, I’ll take it! Heard from Bruno that IF is getting a sponsorship deal with Ergon (hence the below post.) I might have peed my pants a little when I got that Email, I was so pumped. I’ve had the chance to ride some of their grips in the past year, and they are just out of this world. Like a lot of people, I always wrote them off as a nice innovation for the enduro-junkies but not a real necessity for the XC-ers in the bunch. Well, I was dead wrong; these things have a place on any and all bikes that dare to call themselves ‘Mountain’. Just a few more days of this pedestrian stuff and then things are going to hit anaerobic with a bang!
