What's 'Ol MG Been Up To?

I got a message from my friend Jim Cummins (co-promoter of the Dirty Kanza 200) the other day. He was giving me grief for not posting since Aug. 27th, and I suppose he's got a point. I've been bad about updates, but that's only because it's been a really busy month. So with that in-mind, here are a few images from the past month of MG's life. I didn't shoot most of this stuff, you'll notice, because I actually lost my camera this month... much to Mrs. G's chagrin. Oh well. You win some, you lose some. This one may be lost for good. You just never know.

Lucas Marshall shot this great one of me bunny hopping the barrier at the Swanson CX two weekends ago.

Another Lucas Marshall shot from the Swanson CX. I finished 8th in the Open 1/2/3 on my beautiful Salsa La Cruz Ti. I was lovin' the feel of the Tufo tubulars on the Swanson grass. At 34 psi, I was getting great traction and awesome bump absorption.

One more of Lucas' shots from Swanson. He had some great action photography from the race, as usual.

Here's a shot from Anne Savery, wife of Sunday race winner, Mark Savery.

In late-Sept., I raced at the Sugar Bottom Scramble in Iowa City, where I finished 8th place in the Pro/Cat 1 class. Not a terrible result, but a couple of places out of the money. Bummer... Photo: Jordan Hanson

Here's one of me from the Dakota Five-O up in Spearfish, SD. This was definitely the highlight of my 2010 mountain bike season. Photo: Patty Wixon

Here's the Ridge Riders' shot from the start. Check out Smokey Bear, who started us off. Very cool...

Yeah, it's been a fun last month or so... Hope it's been great for you too! With fall upon us, it's the best time of year to get out and ride. So take advantage and get out and have fun!
