I feel but a guest .........

Deer Creek -close to home but yet feels far away
Spectacular night at BC great strong pace different route was a real treat!


The sky was going off- only a sampling of the beauty offered up to us

Moose in BC- heard they have been around but first time ive seen them.
then a nice mellow pace with nothing but quiet and peace- and a few occasional sounds of a shift or two!



While we ease into the fall air i cant help but feel excited for early mornings heading up in fresh morning snow and laying down a skin track even if the runs are short and the turns not so great- or pedaling in a soft quiet snow covered trail.

But for now ill take these temps and colors!

Mixing it up!

Yah, rumors are true- i put some gears and a shiftie on the bar! I mean that is the whole reason i went with the el mar was options! SS / geared blah blah blah. im ridin bikes and that is one thing that makes me happy!

Even jerry aka: canyonrat is running a 1x9- of course he did in grande jerry style which included a new frame and new shiny parts!
HE didnt like the way it was shifting so he picked up his bike and threw it down the side of the mtn.! actually he took a pretty wicked tumble. luckily he was just banged up a bit.
Moots likes to hike at deer creek and once he hits the trail its on!
leashes suck!

Hit up falcon/ lair o bear with lubes
rode parmalee the wrong way.

Just pics

Chair rocks a good place to have a snack













t.i.t.s.



Some pro action - used to go watch the old Coors Classic







Vail TT was alot of fun





Jones Pass/ Herman/ Gtown with Goat, Jerry, Lubes and Guac
Sittin at 13245' - not a bad view
This ride never dissapoints

Choose your friends wisely!

I believe i have - mGe- aka mountaingoat- lets just refer to him as evil one.

It was all wheelies and smiles and highpoints!

With picturebook views that my point and shoot just doesnt capture. I was the camera crew and the film crew for the day. SInce i had the only one.





duhn duhn duhn........put on you hike a bike face.
Yep i had blisters and sore as hell feet- my footbeds were toast before this ride. And my feet killed but it did not take away from the views or the company. Luckily we found the 2elk lodge open and a friendly painter said go on in and fill up with water.

SOme views you just cant describe.


When the trail pointed downhill most of me was happy- lets just say i was hovering above the saddle.

One more wall to scale and we are on the mostly downhill slide.

But lets just throw in a bit more hike a bike.

Like i said some views are just worth all the work.


Was a good day with mGe, jerry, sissy, drew and joe!


The Modus fills the sky at the highpoint of the weekly thursday night ride.

Even though evil mGe- tried to rip my ear off he has still shown me more of the state i grew up in than i have found. There are many and you all know who you are that i consider my friends! Thanks for the adventures and weekly escapes! I also want to give some recognition to e another good friend who's attempt at this years CTR didnt quite go as planned, but i believe if he chooses to attempt next year will do just fine. He was on a kick ass pace and just had some bad luck.
