A few of us hit the White Mesa trails Monday night under the full moon. I would say it was night to remember, a night of romance with that special someone… but it wasn’t. A late night biking experience with three Air Force pilots and one wanna-be astronaut (or wanna-be CIA operative, or wanna-be truck… Read More White Mesa & The Full Moon – So Romantic
Today provided the perfect opportunity to hit the trails and test the ‘All Weather Judd’. I survived. The day started out in a BRUTAL deep freeze. When did winter arrive in The Land of Enchantment? I guess it arrived 24 hours ago. So 16 deg at 6:30 AM. You may ask, “What are you doing… Read More Training – In All Elements!
Nutrition and Training. The 2 primary ingredients for a successful 24 hour race. On Nov 7th Tedd and I will race in the 24 Hours of Fury, Phoenix AZ. On February 13 Tedd, Tim and I will be racing in the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo, Tucson AZ. We are all racing SOLO, of… Read More Nutrition and Training
… to use a phrase coined by Lieutenant Colonel Arnold. Tedd and I hit the road the cruised up to Fort Collins, Colorado. The goal? Place two more orders for the greatest titanium single speeds on Earth. Tedd went for the killer Steller, I went for a modified Highlight. Yep, #2 sheep for me –… Read More The Mecca of Titanium
What a race. Well, it wasn’t really a race. In usual fashion, the Back of the Pack Racing team signed up for the 100 (really 90) and only finished one loop – 45 miles. A million excuses but none of them matter. Someday we will finish the entire 2 loops. OK, probably not. … Read More Zuni 100 – OK Just 44.78
Wicked, Wicked Race 24 Hours of Moab. My 1st 24 hour race, not my last. I learned a lot and will return to pursue victory, whatever that means. Brother Tedd and I cranked through 105.7 miles. (Yes, Tedd’s 1st race was a 24 ultra endurance event, awesome.) We achieved Tedd’s goal (set by… Read More 24 Hours of Moab
Fall is here. That means bears are out and looking for the last good meal prior to the big sleep. I don’t want to be ‘the meal’. So, what are the single speed options for bear repellent? Well, Tedd likes the neon green tape + the pepper spray. I don’t know, the neon green tape… Read More Bear Repellent – The Options
A day worthy of vacation. It was a work day, but putting in a few good miles (50) was definitely more important. This was Tedd’s first experience of major pain via the Single Speed torture method. Tedd survived and is now ready to join the club of lunatics who view the ride as not over… Read More Foothills 50
Back of the Pack Racing has entered the big time, team uniforms. It took some time (and some cash) but the team can now roll with the best. Wait a second, why team uniforms? Man, I don’t know – just because. Anyway, the team always has room for new ‘teammates’ but not just anyone… Read More Team Uniforms are In!
Big race coming up on Oct 10th – Oct 11th. 24 hours of pain. The team song for this race is by my buddy, my hero, Rob Zombie. Someday I will have a bitchin’ look, just like Mr. Zombie. Check out the YouTube video. Never Gonna Stop And if this doesn’t work for you, check… Read More The 2009 24 Hours of Moab
