it was snow and mud here


Hall Ranch - Lyons, Colorado

The first bit of the day's ride was muy bueno. 7:45 and frozen ground. Just past the point of this pic, the park turned into a muddy mess. We turned around. I went home and had to hose down the Flux. Good ride, though. In the pic, that's Miguel on his rigid single Wiley 29er.

wow. 1/2 hour south of me it's nearly dry everywhere. 1/2 hour north, it's snow snow snow.

Riding is good no matter where you get it.

I too have been hoping to get into the park with frozen ground! Maybe this week?

Man the thought of riding down the rockgarden at Hall under snow cover kinda spooks me! But I would be willing to give it a try sometime:)

yeah, some of the things in the rock garden can get a little slick in thawing snow. It's fun when it's snow covered, but you pretty much have to hit it when it's snowing, the snow dissapears so quickly. The Antelope Trail is super fun in the snow. Smoove underneath and lots of switchbacks to whip it around.

thanks bg... you know i gotta' make jokes about everything.

... not like that dumbass hasn't set himself up for some abuse. stealing a picture from the competition is bad enough. stealing a picture OF THE COMPETITION (like, literally) is an offense of a whole different level.

:-}

You guys are funny! I talked to the dude last Sat. I played it dumb... "So, what's the name of the shop? Bitterbrush? Cool. You guys should get a website going."

His girlfriend did mention "my awesome website", though. "Oh, you've checked it out?" I say..

I left them scratching their collective heads. (I get the impression that it doesn't take much)
