I had a few pics turn out ok.

This was at one of the lookouts we rode out to on slickrock trail.

Little nip just to thin the blood.

South Side Road Loop

I have been wanting to do this 60 mile road loop for a while. Its basically 20 miles of road and 40 miles of gravel and dirt. I knew I was pushing the envelop on the dirt portion being dirt. It ended up being slop but it was a good ride and I'll do it again before may.





Crossed under I90 at Petty Creek Road. The 9 mile saloon which is where I planed on filling up on water and nerd ropes was still on winter hours and I was there about an hour and a half early. Last chance for nerd ropes but the low matinance southside road was ahead.

Spring Has Sprung

Contrary to the weather forecast (snow again), Spring has sprung.

That is dirt from Platte River kids. I took a gamble against the weatherman and won. The prize, some sweet trails and no battling 40mph winds. I have to give thanks to Showen for the heads up on trail conditions.

new commuter

i treated myself to a new commuter bike. i took a pic prior to mounting fenders and a rear rack. had to create a front bracket to deal with the suspension corrected fork. had to create a bracket to mount the front end of the rear fender to something. used the hole for the plastic der wire routing dealy. also had to extend and widen a jand rear rack to deal with the disk brake. not perfect looking. we'll see how it holds up. used the cranks, bb, pedals and rack from my 8000 which turned 17yrsold.

so nice to commute on a nice freshly built new bike.

post work

A little ride after the shop closed.

night ski

never gave much thought to the idea before until last weekend. It opens an entirely new chapter of having fun during the night. 3/4 moon was good too.

Have fun in Durango, gentlemen. Did I miss anyone?

It's coming

The Trojan Cow is on the move.

Keeping the Tuesday Night Ride tradition going

We started Tuesday nighters in Lyons about 5 years ago. They're going pretty strong now. Even when it's sub 30 with snow on the ground, we can still rally 5 or 6 other guys into riding. We went to a local Moto playground last night. It's really step and generally not a ton of fun, but there is one smoking singletrack descent there that is top notch.

I put this on the Redstone blog, which some of you check, but Lampin has been slow lately, so enjoy!

nebraska for the holiday week(end)

Yo all,

As long as the weather holds, the family and I will be back in Omaha Wed-Sun of the coming week. I'll have my cross bike only since my mtb shifter thumb is out of commission, and we'd love to see some people while we're back. What's going on? Anybody getting together for a ride or some hanging out?

Olympia

We headed back to Washington for Thanksgiving. Used to be, the inlaws had an extra car and I had more free time (no kid), so I'd rent a bike, drive the car out to Capital Forest (super fun) and disappear for an afternoon or two,

Now, the transportation is gone, time is short, but I still need to get away. So, after a very brief deliberation, I shipped the $100 Gt road bike to the inlaws. Tada! Insta-ride from the doorstep. I spent a couple days putting together a nice 20+ mile route, in the rain and 45 degree weather.

It's pretty spectacular road riding. The main road has a 6ft shoulder most of the way, and the neighborhood routes have next to no traffic. Lots of views of the sound between the trees. The side roads and shoulders have a couple interesting factors: wet ground up leaves and moss growing right on the asphalt.








The rest of these are from Steamboat Island, at the end of the road.
