Wed. night ride....... a 4-B's ride. bikes..beer...bonfire....boxes? Welp i forgot the actual fourth B, but oh well. Damn good ride even though the singletrack portion was rained out. The ride starts with an 11 mile forest service climb... it was at a fast pace from the get go, and once you find your own comfortable pace the better. Anyway the climb took a little over an hour and once we got to the top of the ridge we were met with very dark grey skies and the rain started falling...temperature started dropping too and on went the LS jersey, the raincoat, and knee warmers. Initially our plan was to drop straight down into this beautiful little rock-infested drainage and ride the trail back out. But with the rain and all...we knew the rocks would be slip-pery and wisely we went back down the way we came up. Tough call.....because after an hours worth of climbing it's always nice to be rewarded with some yummie singletrack. oh well--- there is always next time...... we followed the ride up with the usual post-ride refreshments.

Aint riding bikes fun? And to think I'll be riding with you in a week - been too long again!
boxes? for burning?
wish i was headed to lyons, but i'm waiting for baby#2.
the cardboard was nice (and dry)
i was not. But i felt better about it after my fourth brew-ha-ha.
i can always appreciate a ride with a little fire!!!
seen the tracer around chaybo? how's she doing?
oh yeah...i see it about every day. My buddy who purchased it hasn't got the funds to finish the build so for now it sits bare bones collecting dust in a barn. damn shame i tell ya !
i've got avid v-brakes and avid levers for it if they are needed. he's proabably planning on disk tho eh?
yeah...i believe so. Avid mechanicals i think.
Do you remember meeting the quite fella ... Dan ? He was riding the M2 Stump at moab last year. He's the proud owner of the ol' tracer now.
i do remember. i hope he eventually gets a chance to enjoy that fine bike.
