helllll!!!
is hell a place where you can experience the most torture you can endure while single speed riding a brutal demoralizing but enjoyable painful course? Yes. I was there. Let me add leg ripping, total lungs oxygen deprivation, hart rate through the roof, total body numbness, back of the neck hair standing while crusing 35mph long 5 miles downhill on gravel rocky roads with tons of switchbacks.  Oh howsweet it is. 2009 Fools Gold, I can't wait!!!

I DNF'ed the 100 miles race. But still managed 85 miles on a 12 hrs battle with over 12,000ft of climbing. I danced with Satan himself. We looked eye to eye and he sent me home "riding like the devil." Optimus ti style!  I am the luckiest son of a biatch. I don't want to wake up yet. Diz HELLish biznuxx is da shizzle!
