Jedi Master Super D

(posted by Jeff Stanners)

Last Sunday there was a grassroots Super D race out at Hulda Crooks in Loma Linda. Very low-key with no entry fee. There were, however, medals and even In-N-Out gift certificates to the winners. Most important it was a lot of fun. The race was put on by Van Geslani.

Cy was the declared overall winner. Van actually beat him by a few seconds, but didn't count himself in the results since he was putting on the event. Both guys were moving pretty fast. Here's the complete results...

I was too tired from the "6 Hours of Bootleg Canyon" the day before so I didn't race. I did go up and take pictures.

Live Strong Update - Tough times on 1400 mile journey

It's day 10 and Gerry is still rolling strong on his journey. At this point he is nearing 1000 miles, and as you can imagine, he's going through some pretty tough times. He sums it up with this:

"At this point, if it touches the bike, it hurts..."

Due to cold and exhaustion last night, he had to stop a little short of his destination and get some assistance to reach the hotel.

But true to Gerry's spirit, here's a short video of him riding back to where he stopped yesterday and continuing on his 1400 mile journey from where he left off. Now that's some serious dedication!

Hang in there Gerry... 4 days to go!



Be sure to check out these cool t-shirts you can purchase to help support the cause.
