28mi after work today. 22mi of chat path with the Thursday noob cru and couldn't resist stopping at the trail head OTW home for a quick 6bliss.

Did a 4 day circumnavigation of a nearby mountain range. Rode from our front door.

U suck








edit: May I come live with you?

Jerk!:mad:

The view from your front door is prettier than my computer background.

No problem with that here... Use good lube and shift a lot... that's my trick ;-)

Just pack this in your kit, http://www.handpickedcollection.com/...hairdryer.html

The only bad thing I see with this trick is the European plug ;-)

Damn...good eye..ur right...need the converter...

Is that on the USAFA? Looks familiar.

Nice

It is actually near my house in Black Forest...its called section 16 trail, but not to be confused with the section 16 trail at Red Rock Canyon open Space. It is a nice, mellow, 4 mile loop that I use primarily for cardio puposes and to take my little boys since little technical skill is required.

Dead sailor ne1?

Did I do something wrong with the embe? And where did my post go? lol.

I guess I'll start over..
I offered the quoted video for some lolz.
I felt like I really improved today, despite the video. I was able to handle the sharp turns a lot better without being so generous with the brakes. Will be looking forward to my next ride.

Ah, haha... yes faster!! Good luck

It was 90 degrees yesterday when I left for my ride. Went out for a short ride at the 50 year trail, did the Chutes and Middlegate loops. (Tucson, Az)

Got a good ride in before the "family hike". Did some work on a steep/tall roll-in boulder...I'll get pic's next time. It was sketchy b/c there was a sapling at the run-out. I rolled up to it and gimped out probably 6 times. Went down to the run-out and cut the sapling down with my pocket knife. No more sketchy run-out. Rolled it a couple of times. It's probably 8' tall or so but pretty daggum steep.

Rode yesterday with a new XC friend from work. She was ballin' an Anthem 29, so I started on the techy 'rock-crawley' trail just to be ornery. We took the flowey XC loop back to make up for it. Watching her negotiate the techy stuff on a 29'er pretty much solidifies my decision to stick with 650b or shorter. It just looked so cumbersome trying to negotiate.

It's kinda comical how many people are on a 29'er trying to venture out onto that section of trail. It's not like it's a trials course or anything, but there are a handful of sections that I have to hop off now and then. It's either a confidence builder or frustration. I thoroughly enjoy it, myself.

A nice technical descent with a few stairs, drops, and jumps over my lunch break!

Here is a video I took with a camera I bought from ebay. Average quality imo.. I must get a GoPro.. :)

22 miles in sunny Peublo....and we hardly left the fun stuff in the canyons.

Fun @ Trumbull yesterday.

Kick arse day at Palmer Park on one of my favorite trails, Templeton Trail. I was overdressed and a sweaty mess when done.
