It's hard to believe that I've been mountain bike racing for 21 straight seasons already and it's even harder to try and remember something from each of those years concerning the events or rides I participated in. Maybe I'll just blame my old age on the memory thing and not dwell on that for very long. Unlike most of the activities that I've participated in over the last two decades or throughout my life, I can honestly say that I keep learning new things every year about this sport with regards to training methods, bike set-up and also my bike handling skills. The people that I have met over the years have been amazing along with many whom I hope to stay in contact with long after my competitive days are over. One of the things that I do remember is each and every mountain bike that I've ever owned and raced. It's a list that seems to keep growing without a whole lot of effort being put into it. You could label me as a bikeaholic and I admit that I'm totally out of control when it comes to all things bike related. A few of these bikes I wish I still owned, while a few were dogs right out of the bike boxes and made for a long race season. Here's the LIST...
