How does the Caveman unwind after some hectic racing? (Not to mention the traveling!)
He tames the mighty Lake Tahoe on a pink floatie…

He eats the biggest popcorn at the Reno Rodeo…

And yes, he rides a bull!

For those non cricketing nations- “Hat-trick” means 3 in a row…
1) Temecula in Cali
2) Pelham in ‘Bama
3) Richmond, Virginia
Another good day for Cave.

Spur is committed to getting kids outside, active and hungry! That’s exactly what happened earlier this morning at Shongweni Nature reserve- just outside Durban.
I was the Spur mascot- just without the Indian feathers and face paint. And was lucky enough to be paired with the National Schools Adventure Racing Champions. Matthew and Jason from Kloof [...]

I’m very happy to announce a brand, spankin’ new title sponsor. Balega makes 1st class sports socks. Balega is a South African/American initiative- like me. Balega is a Zulu word, which means “to move with speed”. Sound familiar?

After answering the same questions 300 times, I made this sign. It did the trick.
The sign says:
Yes, its BROKIN.
I fell.
No, wont race Maui.
Yes, I’m Bummed.
Thanks 4 sympathy.

The operation went well, but all the ass-kissing in the world couldn’t convince Doc to pimp the job with Titanium hardware. And, no, its not coming out. From now [...]

I took a big tumble pre riding the XTERRA USA Champs this weekend. Went over the bars at high speed, landed on my head, splitting my helmet.
Fractured my wrist in 4 places, and I have a compression fracture of T12.
