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.

I love Colorado but.........


But the beach is a pretty good place to chill......

Katelyn looks pretty well at home in CA

Sorry for the mangeled ear in the pic!
Congrats to my son for making a AAA hockey club- he got to be on the beach for his BD and got him a sweet longboard- i got to pull him along the boardwalk while he carved and looked cool. It was my training- normally he'd be pulling me! but his bd i cut him some slack! - Some well deserved family time! in one of our favorite places!

saw this guy every day on the boardwalk- (not my vid)- this is slow mo man.




Ate here alot! and we ate at our favorite mexican restaurant

next to casa bonita of course....




The usual t.i.t.s. ride 3 sis was a fun evening

Carey made it out on his folding bike- which he travels the country by motorhome while pretending to be working.







My payment for a light demo- sorry jay.... i'll reap the rewards you keep building a kick ass product!

Ode to the Burger!



Spikefest '11 -3rd year for me did not dissapoint!

I missed the early departure for the fridays pub ride- so i did my own short version. A quick jaunt from camp brought me to the top of boreass.

With probably some of the best trail i have shared with the el mar! Quiet- tacky goodness- and just plain ol solitude!

Then sat. comes with a shuttle up to kenosha- with some of the normal riff raff that i call my friends! And a few new ones as well.
e blazed on up in typical fashion- i believe he was able to melt away a few of the drifts - only to leave the biggest ones for us to slog through! But these are character builders. While pedaling is why we ride bikes - pushing your bike is also time well spent! Gives you time to think. I was working on a non hydrated body and less than fueled body. How do i ride to breck and still have 2 liters of water in my pack. This is something i need to work on.




PHoto credit lubes

From this point on it was head down and move forward- did i mention that i am having a blast - just pretty much stayed to myself and kept quiet.

As we rolled into breckenridge- nearly 4:00 pm i was starving! opted out of the normal beer toast and went for the coca cola- seemed to help. Then on to the swiss burger and some fries! This appeared to be the solution!

Rain drops come and go on the climb up boreass- but energy level on the rise!


Thanks to Spike for the invite and all who i get to share these adventures with!
