Take the long cut, we’ll get there eventually.

Flatirons Vista

Thursday, October 9th, 2008 Posted in Rides | No Comments »

On Saturday, before the big fall ride, I got out and rode one of the new trails accessible from home. Flatirons Vista opened, and while its certainly a better option than riding the gravel road out there, it could have ...

Weekend Recap

Monday, July 14th, 2008 Posted in Rides, trips | No Comments »

We headed to Nederland for a quickie camping trip, just last night. This morning, we packed up and headed to a trailhead juat outside of the wilderness boundary. There's far away parking, and there's close in parking - the close ...

I've had the local map up on the wall at my cube at work all week, knowing I only had a few hours on Sunday morning for a dirt ride all week. I decided on a trail I sort of ...

Finding the lost

Monday, June 23rd, 2008 Posted in Rides, Uncategorized | No Comments »

I don't get lost very often. Occasionally, I might get a bit turned around.. I haven't been this deep into this part of the forest for a while. It's got the usual stuff - some Jeep roads, some singletrack, and even ...

Big day, wrong bike

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 Posted in Rides, trips | No Comments »

I spent the better part of the day near Salida riding the wrong bike. The family and I headed out for a three day weekend, two nights in Breckenridge seperated by a day trip to Salida. More riding was planned - ...

Watching and Riding

Thursday, June 5th, 2008 Posted in Rides | No Comments »

Last weekend was chock full of goodness, starting with the the not smallest bike shop's grand opening. Which led into a Hall Ranch ride followed by the dirt jump portion of the Lyons Outdoor games. Seriously impressive riders doing seriously dumb ...

Hopefully I'll get to some more words later, but at least one picture for now. Others are here.

No commute for me…

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 Posted in Rides | No Comments »

Monday, I handled the kid duties so the wife could ride to and from work. She had a great time, and last night, I tuned the crosser (the roadie needs some new cabling to shift right), packed a bag, and settled ...

Weekend of riding, no pictures

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 Posted in Rides | No Comments »

Strange of me, to head out on a bike without a camera. A whole weekend with no pictures is extra odd. It was a clear couple of decisions. I wanted to ride, not stop and 'goof around.' One hobby fighting ...

70+ Degrees in March?

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 Posted in Rides | No Comments »

I rode for a few hours up in the forest - it's been forever it seems since I've been able to skip the open space parks for something a bit more rugged. Headed up to Lefthand OHV to get away from ...
