Heaven and Hell

May 21, 2010

Sing me a song, you're a singer

Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil

The devil is never a maker

The less that you give, you're a taker

So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell, oh well-Ronnie James Dio in Sabbath

Sad news from the music scene, as Ronnie James Dio passed last Sunday. The Rainbow front man, then turned Sabbath leader was a heavy metal icon that left all too early at the age of 67 after loosing a bout to stomach cancer.

And while I would never want to put Team Sho-Air/Specialized on the same level as loosing a life or battling cancer, the team's had its share of some Heaven and Hell moments in 2010!

But it appears as if the boys are back on track, if this weekends results reveal anything?

While Sid didn't win this weekend at the second H2O Overdrive Triple Crown, the Tassie rode a calm and collected race and used his experience to walk away with the Triple Crown points lead with one round remaining.

As always, the scrappy Aussie was willing to suffer more than most, especially with his lack of altitude prowess and limit his loses on the weekend. He ended up on the podium in all three events on the weekend….Well done Mate!

Up in the Great White North, Max Plaxton was attending round one of the Canada Cup Series. It was Plaxton's first race since April 11th, after he contracted a stomach virus from his travels down to Guatemala.

But true to form, the Mountie bounced back, grabbing a solid win for himself and the team.

Let's hope the boys now have the ball rolling in the right direction as we head into Mellow Johnny's next weekend

Until Next Time,
