Taking Names

In the blue corner, weighing in at 140 lbs, a man who has completed more 24 hour solo races than anyone else in the world, Nat "Tough Guy" Ross. Don't underestimate the power of the pink hat, it is no longer reserved for the "oh so hip" frat boys or the "too hard core for black" skateboarders.



In the red corner, weighing in at 160 lbs (when he isn't carrying his wallet full of singles), Mike "I need at least 3 women in the pool" West. This is what happens when XC racers drink with-in 12 hours of finishing a race. It usually involves tight clothes and a kiddy pool. Today's main event, Jello Wrestling!



Good times, good times! West single handedly manhandled three women without breaking a sweat (I don't think this is his first time either). His superhero status just got bumped up a couple notches, he is now asking to be referred to as, Dynamo.



The precursor to all this madness was the opening race in the Colorado Mountain Bike scene, Battle of the Bear. Rad Ross and I managed to break away early and hold our own to finish up 1-2. These local races are good confidence boosters after getting hammered last weekend on the National scene. Check out the size of the checks?!
