Well, it has been a long time since I updated anything. I have been really busy with my contract work at Nanotek and now I have started a DAQ job with Cane Creek Cycling Components to setup data acquisition on their rear shock, the Double Barrel. More on that later.

But this week is my birthday and Meghann got me a cool new digital camera to help put more pictures on this blog. We have a really nice digital SLR, but its bulky and I don’t want to break it while riding. She got me a Pentax Optio W30, which has lots of cool features, most notably its waterproof. My buddy Curt has one and he uses his to take pictures while he is fishing. Even underwater movies and stills of fish.

I haven’t had much time to play with it, but here are a few shots.

My DH bike with a few upgrades. Can you pick them out?

Here are some action shots Meghann took of me at Windrock lastnight. The Sport feature is a little tricky, but we’ll figure it out. I appreciate her driving shuttle for me as well as taking these.

I am heading off to the US Open of Mountain Biking tomorrow morning. I have tried to qualify in the Pro class the last two years and haven’t made it. last year I was 3 spots from qualifying. This year will be different.
