Got a ride in

Got a ride in on Saturday before everything thawed out and became muddy. Was time limited so I only got in a hair over 13 miles at Black Hill/Hoyles Mills, but it was fun. Tomorrow, I get my first snowboarding fix of the year at Tremblant in Montreal.

Must Ride

Going through withdrawal... the cold is getting to me. Spinning classes are just not a replacement to being in the woods. Tomorrow... hopefully.

New Bike - Haro Mary SS

Well I broke down and got another bike to add to the stable. Been looking for a bike that's easy to take care of and will spare my FSR from the wear and tear from winter riding. After trying out a SS for a few times, I've decided it would be a fun bike to have for certain rides and if your going to get a SS you might as well get a rigid 29 at the same time. I didn't want to spend a fortune and I wanted disc breaks (meaning I wanted an EBB) so I ended up choosing this bike.

Trails: Walkers Ranch; Front Range, Colorado

This was a really cool trail, very different than the trails out east that I normally ride. The altitude caused me problems on the hills. I think the trail started was mostly in the 7k to 9k foot range. It didn't help that I hadn't ridden that much before I went, but it was still a blast. I did this in May 2006. Lastly, remember to wear sunscreen when riding so high, I got a little burn and I usually don't burn much.

Sedona Pictures

One of the guys that went finally got us some pictures. Wish I was back for a day in Sedona now that its a little cooler and wet here.
