To bad you can't get paid for gettin Rad..

Yes, in these rough waters we all need stuff to look forward to. And for those of you looking for something to get excited about, consider us your new savior. Now, you may think that statement is a little over the top but I know something you don't.

THE END-uro IS COMING, ARE YOU READY?

If you're not, you better get down on your knees and pray to the mountain bike Gods for the skills, liver and legs you will need to make it through a weekend that will test every aspect of what people do on big wheel bikes these days. Just so you know how to prepare for such a feat I suggest putting in long miles, riding pump tracks in the dark, hitting dirt jumps, riding logs, bunny hopping everything in sight, practice your wheelies, going down the steepest rockiest trail you can find at speed then climbing the longest steepest hill you can find, and you probably want to know how to swim too. On top of all that, you need to practice doing all of that with little to no sleep with a six pack buzz. Pisgah Brewing will be supplying the refreshments all weekend long so you stay properly hydrated and loose. If you were at last years event then you have an idea of what to expect but know that we have a few new challenges up our sleeve to keep it freshhhh. if you were at the event last year, check your email and hit me back. If you've heard the stories and think you have what it takes to for go for the title of M.B.A.M.B.W (Most Bad Ass Mountain Biker in the World) then track me down and get the details. It's capped at 25 riders to keep it tight so you better let me know. pisgahbrewcrew at gmail dot com if you want to get in on the action. Oh by the way, it's happening june 13-14th and you better let your boss know you might be late on Monday.. werd.

More rain and racing..

The brew crew split up to cover some ground this weekend. Bruce and Shanna headed south to hit SSUSA. Bruce went down and showed several of the fastest guys in the country with one gear how to ride but in the end it was Asheville local and Brew Crew Racer Shanna Powell who brought home the belt to Asheville. Yes, the Pisgah Brew Crew's very own Shanna Powell is the offical SSUSA Champion! This only adds to the titles held by the Brew Crew racing team. MBAMBW, SSUSA Winner, Cougar Nationals Champion, and I am sure there are more. Props to Asheville local Ohio Rob for putting together the event and representing the belt for 2008-2009, the torch as been passed and I am sure we can find something to do with it.

The rest of the Crew stayed in town for some Bent Creek backyard racing this weekend. Brew Crew members Adam and Lela were kind enough to invite a ton of good party people over to their house to both celebrate Adams bday and their new pad. While they were at it, Adam decided to throw a little short track racing in for good measure. Just like the past few weeks of racing we got our fair share of rain, mud, and lighting. The Pisgah IPA made up for the lack of dry trails and helped keep the party side of the race going and a good time was had by all. And just to prove the everyone's a winner who comes out to race in less than favorable conditions the rain washed away all the times that had been written down during the event.

The Brew Crew is at it again and the Enduro is once again just lurking around the corner with a pocket full of candy and a sweet van ready to take you away for the weekend of June 13-14th. Check back in by the end of the week for some more details on how to get involved.

Werd..
