Fluge Global Adventures

As you know, Yelena, Troy, and I are less than 4 months away from our Kilamanjaro Summit with our friends at Alpine Ascents (based in Seattle). For those of you venturing onto the world’s tallest peaks – remember to check out this “world’s best alpine find” at http://www.alpineascents.com.

As you’ll see below, I’ve also added a shot of the FGA Viper of Cindi Lux, who along with Scotty B. White tackled the Long Beach Gran Prix 10 days ago. http://www.naykidracing.com.

More soon about my personal SCCA road race at PIR – the Z06 had a great weekend thanks to my tremendous Motorsports Ambassador and Mentor, Todd Harris, http://www.prodrive.net, and my Crew Chief, Steve Gatrell.

Gordon says, “The Kilimanjaro climb will be outstanding.”

“As we were the first-run group out at Long Beach, the papparzzi went wild and loved the FGA logo’d Viper.”

Denali: Another Alpine Ascents Climb

I’ve been getting a number of questions about my preparation for racing and mountain climbing. I’ve talked about practical training; from Todd Harris and ProDrive in my race car preparation (http:www//prodrive.net) – to Yelena King (my core specialist) and Troy Carter (my VO2 Max coach) in my mountain and athletic preparation. No questions – the professionals are pushing me towards my goals – but FGA never limits it’s options when training for adventure. And you shouldn’t either.

Yesterday I spent my day at Stormy Morning Vineyard in Banks, Oregon, helping my cousin Bill and ‘prepping’ for adventure. As the pictures indicate you’ll see I’m sharpening my racing skills on the “Mule” an essential 4 wheel drive needed on any modern day vineyard. Next you’ll see me pulling cable that’s about to be used to post up for new plant growth. (That exercise not only increases my strength but readies me for pulling Mt Everest victims to safety should that be needed). I’m closing in on my targets!

So for those of you who thought my road racing or athletic skills occurred naturally – wrong!
