More pics from  XTERRA Las Vegas coming in.

A couple of good qoutes this week:

Won XTERRA Las Vegas

Conrad Stoltz- XTERRA Lake Las Vegas

Its always good to start the season with a win.  Even though Josiah Middaugh made my job a lot easier by flatting when he poached my line…

More complete post later. Click here for XTERRA report and complete results.

I got the job done on the bike- this moon landscape course is very particular- there were lots of crashes and flat tires. I had my Specialized Epic Sworks’ Brain suspension set up super plush and could safely (well, kind of) power through the rough stuff – Caveman style.

I know its last years’ World Champs race kit ,(2010 kit is in the mail) but check out my new flash Green and Gold (Springbok) Oakley Radars!

Congrats to fellow Avia racer Shonny Vanlandingham for kicking off the XTERRA season with a bang, Raynard Tissink (we raced each other as juniors) won Ironman South Africa, And Burry Stander got 3rd at the 1st UCI World Cup
