Pedal,

that's all you have to do! Another stellar weekend in CO!

Hit up Lubes on thursday for a quick what's up ride. Out came the fat tire road bikes and away we went. Hit up everything that is dirt on our side of town. Just riding along was the theme of the day.

Friday hit up BC for the T.I.T.S. ride. The weather was nasty in Denver but was beautiful in BC. Several came up to brave the weather. Just as the ride started, the snow began to fall. Perfect temps and excellent company. Did a little of this and that and just pedaled. There was a bobcat sighting and possibly a Jason sighting as it was friday the 13th. Got back to the car and I decided to camp there for the night since the Hut ride was taking place saturday am.

The Hut ride was badass! Finally met the infamous Ed and Jenny and ridin' bikes is what we did. 9 brave souls showed up for a 5ish hour ride. Definitely a VERY casual pace with a lot of stops. The weather was nice and brisk as it snowed, quite heavily at times, most of the day. Hit up chair rocks and then back to the cars.

Maddie rocked it as usual, throwing down for 23ish miles friday night and then back for 30 more saturday morning. Such a killer little black and white.

Then to the hut we went. An absolute killer dinner spread was there for our enjoyment along with the coziness of the hut and some excellent company. A wonderful way to spend the day. It continued snowing so it was obviously time for the pump track on spikes sketchy-ass bike, in some fresh fluff. Headed home with about 9 inches of snow on the road and had a blast. The little v-dub is rock solid. Lettin' loose in all the turns with some sweet drifting action, so sweet. And it is true, most people in CO have no idea how to drive in snow. Ridiculous. Another amazing weekend.

I'll hit you up with a link to Ed's photos whenever he posts them and want to say sorry to everyone for their muddy Maddie prints in all of their cars. It's what she does, explore!

Good Times

Absolute stellar weekend of riding. It all started on Thursday afternoon. Met up with Lubes for an around town cross ride. I just did get some cross tires on the old Merckx and she is a ripper. Had wanted to do a trail ride but they just weren't ready. Ended up riding all of the trails at Bear Creek then met up with the t.i.t.s. crew for the night ride. Wet trails pushed us off of Green Mountain, so back to Bear Creek for the evening. The ranger politely kicked us out and then we split off. My sag wagon had bailed and within two minutes of seperating from the group I had a rear flat. Since I never carry anything it was a nine mile pedal home in the dark on a flat tire. A great way to end a killer ride. Ended up with 50-ish miles and around 25 of those on trail.

Saturday was supposed to be the pint-2-pint but most of us bailed on it due to probable shitty trail conditions. Headed to BC instead and had an awesome day on the bicycle. Seven of us rode and it was one of the first times that no one was on a time schedule. Just ridin' and chillin'. Then up to Mateo's for a reworking of the pumptrack. Finally put in some of the adjustments Ben recommended upon his inspection.

Then Sunday headed to Lyons with Spike, Lubes, the Chad and Gavin. Heil-picture-Hall and back with a little pump track acton in the middle. I was definitely that guy on this ride. Numerous mechanicals with no tools. Two flats, my grips kept coming off, broken spoke with significant frame rubbage due to said broken spoke. Glad my sag wagon always has what I need. Ended up with 35-ish miles of some nice and rocky goodness. Rode the last mile on a flat front tire.

The weather couldn't have been any better and the riding partners kept it interesting. Miss Maddie threw down for a solid showing on Saturday, but isn't allowed to ride in Boulder County. Boulder and all of their rules. It's not a place for me. Several rides should be going on this week. May even break out the fixie for a ride or two. I'm out, peace,

Something

The snow is almost gone and the trails should be ready, soon. The last few days have just been riding the merckx around town and seeing what I see. Not gonna lie, been jonesin for a trail ride, and missing the cross bike. Working on something new and badass!
