Howdy,
Gittin back on the air here. The mountain biking summer of "07" was a blur with travel from California to eastern Austria. Jeff competed in World Cup races, National races and in the midwest region.
I managed Jeff Hall's racing adventure and wrenched on his Salsa bikes. Also coordinated our travel and drove the hell out of many rental SUVs. We covered many miles in the air and on the ground, pursuing those valuable UCI points.
Started the season April 1,07 in Phoenix, Arizona, skipped a week, then a string of 5 races in 5 weeks, California, Belgium, back to California for 2 weeks in a row, then the UCI race at Maplelag, Minnesota. Skipped 1 week, then another stretch From May 27,07 - June 24,07 (5 week-ends), we raced in Germany, twice in Austria, Park City, Utah and Quebec, Canada.
To explain the UCI points. In 1 sentence. A racer earns UCI points at select races around the world, with which he or she is, there by ranked in the world standings. If somebody else wants to explain it more explicitly, be my guest.
I have many pictures and stories from our adventures. I will post some over the next few weeks. Also check out www.jeffhallmtb.blogspot.com for the 2007 race schedule recap, race by race. It is on my links, under Jeff Hall Mountainbiking. These are some of the photos, both racing and just about being on the road.
Mike
