I got a bass on my back and it just won't let me be..

Yes, now I have seen it all. A washtub bass on this cyclist's back indicates # 1 , no car # 2, possible bluegrass anomaly in the area # 3 , made a sale on craigslist and provided delivery # 4, made a buy on craigslist and no delivery provided , #5 , unusual inner-city training method that ends in some sort of bluegrass anomaly.

Seen in NYC

Maybe this explains it all........

Bobs Red Mill featuring Matt Jordan

New sponsor Bob's Red Mill

How do you keep a cyclocross team rolling ? Maybe a big breakfast can help. This breakfast is really big so I included my bike to show you the scale of what Bob's red mill sent to us....400-500 lbs. All you folks that had requests....come on by as my shop has gotten a lot smaller with this stack taking up prime real estate. All you folks that didn't order up , come on by as well because this is a huge amount of good stuff, enough to go around. Thanks need to be given to our own Sarah Kerlin for lining this up....She not only races hard for the team , she is going to keep us fed !..I'm anxiuosly awaiting my polenta and 10 grain cereal so I can avenge my countless defeats of the last 9 seasons.........

and ya still don't stop..

What you need after a good sit down bacon lunch to keep the flave-ah.

We train in one of the most beautiful places on earth

Not only that, but we have the brightest yellow shoes..worth a second look in so many days. I got mine, I ain't worried about his. On the bluff trail right along the ocean Brock ( in the red jersey ) spotted a few whales breaching and spouting not very far off. It was an amazing sight and only the second time I've seen whales in this area. Not a bad place to ride, don't you think ? It's still not June yet but the team is getting ready for October already.

Can't miss these no how

Check it. I'm rolling with the blinding yellow Mavic shoes.....they fit like gloves and sting like a bee. Maybe our elite team will have these on their feet come September. They may be dainty looking slippers I doubt that they will get in the way of some serious stomping on the course by our elite bunch. A close look at these shoes will reveal some super advanced shite in all respects. Very impressive.....so impressive that I ordered the road equivalent-those are white, makes it harder to grab the wrong pair when you are rushing off to a race. These shoes get the swigboss ***** rating, the highest possible, even though it is a bacon-fee product.

Visitors from Chicago....hic.

Well, one picture can tell 100o, even if a lot of those words were slurred a little. If you weren't there you missed the 3 liter bottle and the three pizzas, the holy triuverate od team gatherings. Cheers !

New clothing line

Hat designed and constructed by Simon Vickers, marketed by Swiggco Sales. The new Le Jo line of headwear and accessories is being born. Inquire about the future of logowear today. That future is Le Jo.

Off season preview on next year's kits....

Howdy, folks. After much design consultation this combo of shoes, skinsuit and helmet will be the manditory uniform of the team for 2009. Notice that the helmet and shoes are much larger than last years.....this will enable the racers to pack lots of provisions for the 5-10 laps of the race. Have to come into the pits for that bacon sandwitch ? Not any more, you can carry one in each shoe and one emergency on in your helmet....even if you don't need it, a teammate might. Think about it.......

Everybody dance !

It's the dawning of a new era......

the devil wears bacon

You'll have to wake up pretty early to see swiggboss on the podium, only missing the top step by one point. Nice way to end an unusually good season in the 45-B group. The seldom beaten Frank Cuaresma on the top step of the 55 plus group.

Don't blink.....you'll miss baby Snead's foray into the world of single speeding via Stella's bike. Josh pretty much made all the rest of the single speeders chase for the full hour. Not only was Josh on the single, Loren kept it kosher even though it was the day after the sabbath. This was not an easy course to navigate with one gear but three of the team did it with some really good results.

Scott rode a fierce race to retain the lead he had gotten at the start of the series. He battled Justin Robinson for the full hour with Alex Work not far behind.

Brett Lambert won his division with a consistant display of power in the four race series.

Swiggboss in the last turn of the last race of the season . It wasn't the best day but it wasn't the worst.

A.K. overcame a slow start to make his way through the elite field to finish 5th on the day.

The elite mens podium , Justin flanked by Alex and Scott.

The overall mens elite podium with Scott and Alex on the top two steps.

Stella won the day and finished econd overall in spite of only competing in three of the elite womens races. This day she rode away from the field on her single speed.

Don't you wish you were rolling with these ?

Prototype Le Joe shoes, a melding of italian sole and Adidas La Crosse uppers to form a not yet seen styish shoe with which to trod upon both pedal and turf. I'll be wearing these on the podium if I make it. Know that you are seeing the new revolution in cyclocross footwear. Scientifically unproven, risky and oh, so shiny-maybe they'll work, maybe they'll put you on your ass in short order.....it's the suspense that creates the thrill. Almost better than bacon ? The jury is still out but if the shoe don't fit, we must aquit.

Funny hats and warm temperatures

The team now contains three Santa Cruz county champions: Brett Lambert, the cream rises to the top. Stella Carey, the legacy continues....and .....Swiggboss ? -the fast guys that showed up live over the hill.......boo ya ! Brett and Stella won their respective races, I got 4th. Scott Calley raced to a respectable 4th place in the 35 B group. Stella went full-masochist and rode the single speed race after her dominating win in the womens elite race.

Here I am getting my funny hat that signifies the " Champion of Santa Cruz Co. according to Dave Gill"

Stella on the top step and I have lost the count this season.

Cloes-up of the funny hat...we also got a beer. It's how they do it in these parts.

Next season we will have a 55 plus rider, my old friend Brent Harris. Brent and I worked together at the Bicycle Center in 1978.....back when cyclocross was about 12 people getting together in the woods for a race.

Here's Alex work pulling off an incredible 2nd place in the mens elite race. Alex dogged Justin Robinson for most of the race and finished well ahead of the rest of the deepest field of the day. I vote for Alex to be considered the most improved rider of 2008.

Be sure and check the Peak Season site for all the other placings. Aaron Kereluk, Scott Chapin and Dean Poshard filled out the rest of the elite field.
