Today was session No. 3 in Terminal Velocity Racing’s pre-season program. We hiked and rode at Left Hand Canyon OHV Area, and it was a great adventure.

This story was originally posted April 27, 2004. Snowbound in Boulder, I’m dreaming about Moab!

We were in Moab last weekend to help with the Tour de Canyonlands XC race and get in some riding action. On Saturday, after we wrangled hay bales and parking cones, we gathered a crew and took on the famous Porcupine Rim Trail. Porc’ is one of those must-do Moab rides, and I was stoked to finally add it to my life list.

Hi Lee,
I am interested in purchasing a new DH race steed. I am a competitive expert racer and I was wondering if a 7-inch bike would be a major disadvantage on MSC and G3 racecourses. I am specifically looking at the Commencal Supreme DH, which I understand a few of the WC teams are running. However, I am still skeptical of a 7-inch Down Hill race frame. I am not the gutsiest or smoothest rider, but I very much enjoy going fast down a racecourse.
Thanks For Any Advice,
Jeff
P.S. I appreciate what you are doing for the mountain biking community!

It was the first weekend in July, and Rocky Mountain gravity racers got their first taste of a new format: two days, three runs, fastest combined time wins. After a long weekend and a whole lot of downhill, everyone agreed: G3 is sweet indeed.

We’re in the process of finalizing, naming and signing the trails. Here are trail descriptions from Steve:

The Mountain States and NORBA National crews converged at Angel Fire, NM for a long Memorial Day weekend. There was all sorts of action — riding, watching, yelling, ducking the rain — but the courses stand out most.

Today I didn’t have to coach or teach a darn thing, and I enjoyed a random cornering session with my friends Steve, Matt, Chris and Lisa. To paraphrase Morpheus from The Matrix, today was a day to stop trying to rip — and just rip.

For the last day of Lee Likes DH Camps 2006, The Fix monkeys and I rode at The Hut in Winter Park. For some of the guys, it was the last day before school started. What a way to end the season.
