Good day for a bike ride...

...well that's what some older gentleman said to me as I left the Buffalo Creek Parking Lot and headed towards 550. And you know what...it was a good day!!!!

Up Shinglemill, down Morrison Creek, up Tramway, CT --> Green Mountain, up Gashouse, and finally down Fuck You Baldy. Amazing. A little over 4 hours on the trail. No clouds in the sky and just a beautiful day. One of the top 3 riding days I've ever had. Buffalo Creek really is just miles of smiles.























SETTING FORTH

Being, no concern
Point of no return
Go forward and reverse
This I will recall
Yeah, every time I fall

Keep setting forth in the universe
Keep setting forth in the universe

Out here realigned
A planet out of sight
On nature drunk and high

Centennial Cone

September 2nd @ The Cone

Starting from the Mayhem Gulch trailhead and riding the loop CCW...fun, fast, and a great 17+ miles of mostly singletrack. Even the doubletrack back to the Mayhem link is a beautiful ride. Its amazing how the scenery changes around every corner of this ride.

Its Monday...

...and I need some KOL!!!!1

The Singlespeed Diet

2 days a week on the 29er SingleSpeed burns enough calories to feed a village in Africa or something like that. The SS bikes might be cheap but all the food you need to replenish your body and smaller clothes can get expensive. I weighed myself for the first time in about 6 months. Damn where did my waist go??

Well I started my diet Saturday morning at Centennial Cone Park in Golden. Started in Mayhem Gulch then climbed alot then I climbed some more and then I finished that off with another climb or too. Fun. Fast. and fuckin' SMOOOOOTH!!! Thanks to Tim & Jessica for showing a fellow SSer a great ride.

Sunday ...back down to Golden and up Poison Oak Gulch and then played around over at Apex on the 29er SSes. Fun. Lots of rocks. Fun. I've had enough climbing for the weekend folks. NEED FOOD.

Something, something, and then seeing Jamie and Pete crashing into each other....
...Jamie you wanted some Decemberists...I think "We both go down together" is fitting.



*************
Don't forget Sept. 21st Into the Wild comes out. I can't wait....Sean Penn directing + Eddie Vedder soundtrack = Good stuff.

He flees and walks alone on the land.

Two years he walks the earth. Total freedom.

Isn't this what life is for? Have fun. Challenge yourself. Live. Have fun.

**********
Oh and if anyone ever tells you that you are doing something wrong because its not what everyone else is doing. Keep doing what your doing. "You guys have the wrong bikes for this trail." We SingleSpeed because we can.

Lyric o' the day...

A CANDLE THROWS ITS LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS
IN A NASTY WORLD SO SHINES A GOOD DEED
MAKE SURE THE FORTUNE THAT YOU SEEK
IS THE FORTUNE THAT YOU NEED

TELL ME WHY THE FIRST TO ASK
IS THE LAST TO GIVE EVERY TIME
WHAT YOU SAY AND DO NOT MEAN
FOLLOWS YOU CLOSE BEHIND

Exciting Times - May '07 update

Hey folks, pals, and compadres...

...training hard for the starter triathlon on May 20th in Ft. Collins. XTERRA tri in June.

...having fun hanging with Bode. Its amazing the comments I get from people. Speaks volumes to me about what an amazing dog he is. Can't wait until the snow melts in the higher elevations and get him out for a mountain bike ride.

...in possession of a new camera. Need to get on a ride to take some pics.

...headed in late June to Charleston to visit the Fritz and brother Farrell. Can't wait.

...after that Costa Rica...sometime in '08. Surfin' - I'll ride the wave where it takes me!!!!

PURA VIDA!!!

April 29th - Hall Ranch

Another Hall pass...

...I had a rough time getting my wind. All the triathlon training caught up to me and I was tired; but not tired enough to have that big fuckin' grin on my face you get riding at Hall.







...one day the pictures will be replaced with video. Can't wait!!!1
