Lumberjack 100 report

Yes its that time of the year again,the sufferfest known as the Big MF'er here in Michigan.4 brave Hupsters braved the pain this year-Mike Clark,Jurrien Davison,me(Doez) and long distance guest Kerry Combs all the way from "out east".

Race day was actually quite nice,mid 70's and heavy rains the day before packed down the trail and kept the dust down,however it also left a short section of huge mud holes that got deeper and sloppier each lap with no choice but to slog through them.

Kerry and Jurrien did us proud and finished all 100 miles,Kerry was 11th woman,Jurrien 112th out of the men, Clark made 75 and I crapped out after my usual 50 with my usual cramping hamstrings.

Photos, please?

I understand New England had some hott ramp-jumping action going on last weekend in the hills of Jimbo and there are no photos yet? What gives?

Yash, you got nothing!

HUP Harmonic Convergence 2008

Is it possible that the HUP nation could meet at a CX race this fall to kick butt, imbibe, hang out and make friends? I for one would love to race with and meet the rest of the HUP conglomerate. Zac suggested Star Crossed in Seattle. Any ideas or comments?

hupunited.com 2.0

I would like to launch hupunited.com 2.0 by CX season. Those interested with web design AND coding skills can email me at zac at hupunited dot com.

Thank you.

Over.

And.

Out.

Helping Yash Out - HupCakes

So - in lieu of our prodigy HUPster Yash and his busy schedule, until he posts his view of the HUP New Belgium camp, here below is a few links to some folks that captured the camp;.....

MegA -
Feltslave -
Zoo -
C-Todd (VIP Hupster for a day) -

We rode as strong men & women in typical New Belgium style weather, rain, cold, mud conditions,.....ok, maybe I will let Yash tell the truth....

Oh - and lastly, Yash took it upon hinmself to send my wife a thank you note the day after to our house (for hosting the camp) and he included delivery FLOWERS. So Pro Yash, so Pro, my wife was very appreciative.
