Welp...one day down and we're officially drunk 1!! YIppie !!!


Some hippie by the name of Jaqualine Phelan just sat left us after drinkin a few with us...holy moly !!! Man, was she a throw back. Cool as shit though. Banjo and all.

The bikes look good...soulcraft dude was super cool. Bdidd got the whole stash of hats and will be hooking up ALL of lincoln. (long slurp of the drink) , so now we're sitting here, drinking on Shimano's tab...thank-you SUzikiini Moto Shimano .


And now off to Bidd:

We had a posthole sighting today he had his A game on and i think he even talked chaybo out of 1 bike. His booth looked good. Nail in the coffin was the promise of free beer at the yasiko shimono beer booth!

when you have a sweet design like this you don't need to complicate the bottom bracket area.

wuz up boys ??


Well...Tra and i had a damn good weekend and we even were able to share a nice/beautiful/sunny Sunday together out on the bikes......I was so friggin excited to get rolling that i made the small error of leaving the spd shoes at home ! wtf, why do i forget these items of necessity at home so frequently. You know you leave your shoes behind regulary when you can actually laugh about it. Such was the case....no spirits dampened and the ride was BRILIANT.


later, Chad

Congrats on one year!

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Melissa and i got invited to a show at the Rococo Wenesday night by Mr. and Mrs. Wolfman. Thanks guys! Since they took us to the show we decided we would take them to dinner. First attempt was to eat at Sher-E-Punjab for some tasty indian food. Due to a power outage that went from 27th and O street all the way to a few blocks befor the haymarket. So we went to The Oven and it was yummy! The pic is of Melissa getting Grace Potter to sign here CD. Cool band this chic has a great voice.

here's a couple of pics from sunday's ride.....damn, it feels good to be riding again after six weeks off.

Found: Singletack

I have this idea that after a big shuttle ride I should spend some time climbing, so I planned on a ride up a Jeep towards treeline. Everything was going according to plan until I got to thinking about a large area on the map with no trails, just rumours. Well, I got to poking around, and after a couple false starts, I hit the jackpot. Not only did I find miles of downhill singletrack, I saw several other possibilities. Gonna have to go back and check it out some more!

Going Commando

Long day today, up before dawn, In Vail at 9, did Commando. Not all the leaves are turning yet, but soon. This is an great ride, you get way more dh than climbing, and the trail has all the best multiple personalities. Tough climb, great views, swoopy, technical. Good stuff.

Stolen Pic

Had to share a stolen pic. Says a lot, eh?

disco side

Evening ride

It's that time of the year where I don't have after work rides, I have evening rides, where I'm trying to make the most of the daylight I've got after work. So, tonihgt, a Mr. Chi, who sold his mountain bike after a ride he and I did in yellow aspens near Ned TWO years ago. He bought a new bike this week to replace it, and is stoked to be riding again. Here you go:

Snow!

Last night, it was raing and thunder til I went to bed. This morning, snow on the divide.

Light advice

(Click the link)

I need a good light for Moab. I currently have 2 half-assed lights. These look like a good deal. Advise? Anyone else running HID now?

Gem Lake

No biking today. Hiking in RMNP.

Room with a view.

God Outdoes Terrorists

A little humor for you. Always good to crack a smile or two here or there when things get tough.

The ride back from the Cave was purdy good. Some said it was harder than the 162 !? We sure did miss bigmech and JRA on the ride back. We did have a couple new smiling faces though and showin got his first century in! ON GRAVEL! Way to go!

Catchin up on the week. I had a wedding to go to on Saturday thats why i had to miss going to the Black Hills and meeting up with the Ganzels. Maybe nexts time we can make it. I now its a little early but happy one year of marriage! Me and D fee zee were walking from the cornhusker to get supplies when we flagged down CVO he pedalled us around to cliffs and then to the ATM and right on back to the Cornhusker for the reception. Thanks buddy we didn't have to get all sweaty till we hit the dance floor.
