Nice Friday

Friday came on strong, with a double ridge sandwich and a run down to the road. Then back up to ride up the brand new maricopa madness trail, look forward to heading down it.

Hawes Cruise

Legs took a beating this week and I decided to take Thursday a little easier, it was welcomed, a year or two ago I would not call this an "easy ride".

Scrumptious

Off for another double ridge ride, the dirt was very very nice, the best it's been and the wind was down too. The fresh trails that were made were a smooth tack and I adored it. My time was up too soon, but thankful for that delicious serving of desert on my bike.

Snow magic

I was watching the radar a bit in the morning and chance of rain was looking good, hoping not to get soaked but don't mind rain at all I set off for a big loop. I knew a band of weather was rolling in as I was climbing Alpe the rain came and then it looked and sounded funny, it was big, it was snow! I took a minute to take it in and it was absolutely awesome! It was windy and a little cold so I got moving up the mountain headed for Goat. The skied opened up on my way up Goat and then as I peaked it led to blue skies and a warm sun, I just went thru 3 seasons on one ride. My reward lay before me and I comfortably took it in all the way to the car, man that was stellar!

Farewell my lover

Off to a cloudy start this Monday, also off on a sour note, when I took my bike down from the rack, I saw a huuuuuuge crank on the top tube. I thought this day would come, but man the last 6 years with this bike has been stellar. It was back on the salsa for a double ridge morning and beyond,absolutely thrilled for weather to roll in!

Double ridge sandwich

I seem to be a gluten for punishment with these double ridge sessions, I don't like the climb but I love the down. It was kinda my standard for the rest, scorpion DH, Bush lite and stinger and wild horse back. Ready for the weekend and ice cream!

Hawes sprinkle dinkle

Some precipitation is moving into town and I can't wait, I got really lucky and even got sprinkled on this ride. I was riding hawes and it's funny how old school it feels now that they built all that new trail, but in a good way.
