Bootlegs

IT'S LIKE THAT...

Well, not exactly where one wants to find one's self. If you notice, the bike is half-way leaned over, front wheel is turned, and my right foot is off the pedal. Also note that the left foot is also off the pedal. None of this was the idea when I [...]

A few shots... Nothing more.

Updating...

No real news to report...

Summer is winding down, high country is about to be sealed up by nasty weather and snow of all things, so riding will start happening more in town, and then down south or in Utah.

Levels...

Some Days are just better than others, even when they're all pretty much good.

TGIF and all that. Irritating week at work... many people wanted me or us to make all their decisions for them. Grrrr. I have a hard enough making myself appear decisive, let along …

My friend Ben, in the lower left, doing his best to outrun Mesa Verde (lurking in the background) on the trails at Phil's World.

Six Packs

Small pond/lake at the halfway point on "The Pass" trail.
On Saturday, we set out for another high-country adventure. This week, we'd be riding a "six pack" of trails, so in the spirit of the six pack, I'll break the trails down like this:

Pass Trail Brew

Molass to Engineer

Fisheyes rock, but they do destroy perspective in some case, such as this. This was incredibly steep. So steep, that I had figuratively crossed my fingers hoping that I did not hit a pebble the wrong way and shoot over my bars and land John, who tookt the photo. …

Aliens

This entry will be a little strange, as it was composed over a couple days....

Roadside Anthropology or something... a rock and gem shop on Moab's outskirt...
Hope everybody had a great 4th. I pretty was a shut in, as on the third I sort of tied one on if you will. …

Riding above 11,000 ft.

No text here to speak of... that can be found (for this installment anyhow) on my DA site. Just a flashy slideshow of the keen trail over the weekend...

Fruita Trip, and a ride

Tuesday, post work and a day after my return from the trip.

Iron Horse Stuff...

Up there...

The non smoking battle continues, and so far - so good. I've not yet caved or given in. I'm eating like a mother**** though, suppose I should update my diet a little bit... or develop a diet would be more accurate. Anyhow...

Riding Raider Ridge...
This shall be a journal about nothing...
May came in like a lion, on the first we had some nasty snow flurries throughout the day, nutty. Last time I saw snow in May was back in the Grand Canyon... yuck. Since then, weather has been improving, …

Upgrades (Upgraded)

... Well, I've decided to upgrade this journal entry...
Was cool to get the bike all together, with the exception of the fork. I was sweating having to purchase a cheapo suspension fork or another Surly rigid fork, really didn't want to shell out another 100 plus on …

Upgrades

Strange word "upgrade"...
It applies to so many things - most familiar lately are computer upgrades. Software, hardware, firmware...
Wait for it... wait for it...
I'm sick of them (saw this coming, didn't you?)
Rear drop outs, cog, chain, hub and brake....
When I …

Head for...

Just a quick sort of no-information or anything cool update (eh, why bother then - right?)....

So, at the bottom is Telegraph Trail, the one I rode up.. and beyond is Raider Ridge, on the other side of Raider - lies Fort Lewis College, Durango proper, then the next …

Testing from Firefox

This is a test post from a firefox plug-in... lets see how it works

Motwon Music Tunnel - Taken in a mad rush to miss my plane (something I never, ever, thought I'd say). Ended up staying in Detroit on Delta's dime....
What else...

And, …

Still Going...

Been a while since I've touched the site here... really time for a good update, which should be coming in the next weeks.
What's new in Durango... Not a whole lot. Seems Spring is making a pretty decent grip though, temps have been palatable, and I've been able to get …

Travelogue and Happy New Year

My little corner of the train, near the window and electrical outlet...
Traveling by train - For people that have not, you should give it a try, if you have the time that is. It's not the speediest way to cross the country, but it's a nice change from the airport pace …
