Will it ever end?


This is certainly not the late fall/early winter of my discontent! I keep waiting to use some bad weather as an excuse to take my two week break from riding this year but... the sun keeps shining and the trails are in such great shape. I rode Lunch Loops yesterday for about three hours and then spent three hours out at 18 road today. The 18 road trails are in amazing shape making it difficult to take it easy and stay in base miles mode!

Crested Butte Classic 2015- "Evil Beauty"

“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

First Ride...

First ride on the new S-Works Stumpy Hard-tail 29er! Decided to hit Trail #2, Western Rim and Westwater Mesa today. This thing is a weapon! A razor-sharp, single-track slayer! I am still feeling a bit "off" since the Frog Hollow Race (I will be posting a report on that soon) but the bike still felt so damn fast... and light! Great day to be riding even though the temperature was a bit cool at first. The sun did manage to come out for the last part of the ride and warm things up a bit. I had to give myself a little pat on the back for stepping out of my Type-A rider mode and snapping a couple of photos. Hell, I felt weird just putting the camera in my Osprey pack! Tomorrow morning I am riding straight from the house to Lunch Loops to get a ride in before the precipitation begins to fall.
