All together now; “Santa Cruz is coming to town…”

December 25th, 2009

It’s all change for 2010. The Ironhorse days are finished; I’ve had some great rides on my Azure and Bootleg bikes and I’m very grateful to Jim Walker for providing me and the team with some excellent bikes. Some of the most memorable rides of my life have been on an Ironhorse. Many thanks.

Our new team name is Syncros Endurance and our new team blog is http://syncros-endurance.blogspot.com  Our bikes will be pimped up with tasty Syncros finishing kit… fantastic components worthy of the bikes we’ll be riding…. Yep, you’ve guessed it, they’ll be Santa Cruz. Next season I’ll be on board a Carbon Blur.

Now, if you’d asked me, ‘What bike would you be riding if money was no object?’, I’d say a Carbon Blur. Beautifully designed. Perfectly crafted. Functionally as damn near perfect as a mile munching bike can be. And the final build is going to be light… around the 22lb mark. This is no one trick pony either; these bikes can hammer trails in a way that many race specific machines can’t. Perfect for my general Riding as well as my Racing.

When the bike gets built up, I’ll post more info and some pics.

I’m feeling incredibly motivated for 2010. No better way to channel that energy into the trail than through the best race bike chassis on the market. Here’s to the new season.
