Just For Fun - Photos from around the globe
Joey's been many places, seen many races, and taken a lot of bike rides. Here are some photos you might enjoy from various locales.
Men's fourcross gate - 2007 World Championships, Scotland
24 Hours of Old Pueblo - 2008, Tuscon, AZ
On one of our favorite rides in Colorado Springs.
Scott Boyer, riding near Colorado Springs
Joey at Worlds 2007 - faced with an unexpected wheel build
and no truing stand (too heavy to ship), he devised one using
a repair stand, 5mm hex key, and zipties. The wheelset, built,
trued, tensioned and dished almost exclusively by eye and feel,
went on to help the rider win a Worlds DH silver medal.
Kyle Weisenberger (RIP 2009) throwing some style
at the NBL Christmas Classic in 2005 or 2006.
Joey racing in Germany at the Black Forest Marathon's
village MTB crit - a fat-tired sprint race over cobbles, staircases,
and fallen riders. Up against a bunch of Euros on carbon race bikes,
he rode his steel 29er single-speed into the semifinal heat. Fun!
Reaping the rewards, German-style.
Matterhorn, near Zermatt, Switzerland.
The most beautiful hike ever!
Worlds 2007, New Zealand
Another day at the office. Elite Men's XC technical zone,
Offenburg, Germany World Cup.
Can't take everything so seriously, though!
Lee French, pixie racing, Colorado Springs.
Germany's Olympian Sabine Spitz at a race in Switzerland.
Joey racing SSWC09 (Single-Speed World Championships 2009) in Durango,
Colorado. Had a flat tire. Fixed it and came in 26th out of a thousand.
Talk about regrets!
The USA Cycling team rig. The country feels really big
when you're towing that trailer across it...
German kindergarten near Freiburg - little kid's utility bikes
are everywhere! Germans love their bicycles.
Having too much fun on a little-known ridge trail
near Colorado Springs.
Sam Schultz racing in Arizona.
Houffalize, Belgium - home of a periennial World Cup - at night.
Just a few of many, many switchbacks (or curvas)
to get to the race course in Farallones, Chile.
Chilean kitten... wanted to pack it in the carry-on.
Racing in North Carolina, 2007. Muddy!
