Tinker Juarez

Has anyone read Tinker's blog? http://tinkerjuarez.blogspot.com/ I got a link from Ploch's blog and read his blog.

(Did you know that spell check does not recognise the word "blogger"? Is this some sort of Microsoft jab in the ribs to Google? Is Gates all pissed off at Google for screwing up something and taking it out on them by not recognizing certain words? Does Gates even write the spellcheck stuff? Is this even worth your time reading? See what blogging does? Wastes your time with unqualified, undignified, untrained nonsense. The world is coming to and end and blogging is to blame because it has taken over the common media and diluted journalistic integrity.)

Anyway, apparently David "Tinker" Juarez is going to the Cohutta 100, and Chris will have to go head to head with him. Tinker is the pro, hero, masters, mountain bike dude who started doing all the solo 24 hour races and just killing everyone. We saw him a few times, once here at the AMBC race, another time down in Memphis, at the Tour D Wolf, if anyone remembers that race, it was the last of an era, my first sport race I believe. Looks like Tinker still has Cannondale and Volvo as sponsors. For anyone just starting out in the MTB scene, one that seems to be making a bit of a comeback, check out Tinker, he is quite an inspiration for Geezers just getting a go of it. I started the dread lock thing around 5 years ago. They are turning out good.
