Hammer time!

ok, not that hammer!
hammer nutrition is signed on as the official hydration and gel-ation sponsor for the darkhorse 40! the darkhorse crew has been testing hammer products for a while now and they have met our rigorous standards so we are pleased to be able to hook them up for the 40!
we will be supplying flasks and gel for any racer who wants one as well as HEED drink mix in jugs at all the aid stations. the flasks are an effort to limit the amount of foil packs that need to be retrieved and discarded following the race. although George derives immense pleasure from picking up sticky, half sucked on gel packs that have been embedded in the trail, we always like to do what we can to leave the park cleaner then we found it. so if you like Hammer gel and want to fill a flask for the race you can grab one at registration!

159 Days till the Darkhorse 40!

thats right guys and gals the 40 is right around the corner! well, sort of..........
as winter tries to throw a death blow at your motivation just remember this, the race season looms large on the horizon. fire up the dvd or dvr and get on the trainer! better yet bundle up in all the clothes you have and get out on the road. the trails may be buried in snow and ice but you can always spin the skinny tires on road salt and winter debris caked roads. what more could you ask for! i mean we do live in the northeast and it is supposed to be cold in the winter. it makes you appreciate those sun filled summer days all the more!

so folks get out there and get ready. spring is just waiting to be sprung and summer is around the corner. the next thing you know you will be lining up for the lemans start and trying to answer george's trivia questions!

ride on......brrrrrrrrrrr

Shotgun start to the 08 season

Shotgun start to the 08 season sponsored by darkhorse cycles!

The wildlife of stewart state forest breathe a collective sigh of relief as the men with their guns leave for the season. However, as is usually the case, they have left behind some souvenirs for the rest of us. Seen the spent shells on the trail or on the roads? Pick up their spent rounds to keep your wheels going round!

Pick up 5 spent shotgun shells, bring them into darkhorse cycles and get yourself a free tube! Yeah that’s right, a free tube just for picking up a couple of shells!

So stuff your pockets and spare your wallet to kick off the 08 season!

Happy new year!

happy new year to all and happy post holidays to all! i hope that your holidays found you all happy,healthy and well and that santa or Hanukkah harry brought you all the little bike toys your hearts desired!
2007 has come and gone and we have survived another year as race promoters and "racers"!
it's hard to think that we have 5 darkhorse 40's under our belts. it doesnt seem that long ago that the 40 was just a vague idea and we wondered if anybody would actually show up.
well 2008 is here and the gears are in motion. george has been in the woods cooking up new schemes for the 40. we are into the h2h series with the Darkhorse Gallop and the NY series is a brewing as well. we aren't hosting a race in that series but we will be passing on all the details as they come to us.
keep your eyes and ears peeled as "Darkhorse Racing" has been inking off season contracts with a number of local heavy hitters! be afraid people! new jerseys, new team members, big wheeled bikes and bigger coolers! look for Darkhorse Racing to be flying their flag at an event near you! stop by and say hi, we may look a little strange but we are really only half as strange as we look!

steroids in baseball?!!

oh come on now! say it aint so! whats next? ice dancing?
remember kids hypocrisy is the greatest luxury. steroids are bad! but if you take them we will pay you lots of money so just dont get caught! oh and dog fighting isnt really nice either so you might want to take a pass on that! ok got it?
