FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!

It all started back in 1986. A 10 year old got his first mountain bike and a free spirit was born inside him. For 22 years that free spirit struggled against the status quo—only a challenger. It struggled against family, school, work and all that fills American life. Several months ago, life changed and an exorcism occurred. This free spirit was cast out and now must live on its own. VAN Plews was hidden away for most of the Holiday season but on Jan 1st, 2009 he was released from captivity.

For six weeks, VAN has been occasionally sighted training, but often it has been dark, cold, even raining or snowing. Often he stays inside the garage focused on his sole mission—endurance mountain bike racing supremacy. His own entity now, VAN rests waiting for his opportunity to climb aboard his machine and ride.

This site will now be reserved solely to the ranting of VAN Plews. He will ride unabashed, and speak equally here in cyber-space. Tune in frequently to read more about this 22 year old phenomenon and his singular mission.
