duzer does america
Submitted by redstone underground
By now, I’m sure everyone has seen the youtube video of that dude doing some sick, sick, sick trials moves. Great bike handler, but he doesn’t have much on this man. Ryan VanDuzer from Boulder, CO is riding from Oceanside, CA to Washington DC to raise money for Community Cycles and awareness [...]
Tuesday Night Solstice-ish Ride
Submitted by redstone underground
Man, what a great ride! We had daylight, we had night. We had bikes with broken parts, slow leakers, lights that didn’t work, and we even managed to get off trail and freestyle it a bit. Oh, and rain, too. Wet rocks on technical trails. In a sense, just a great ride. [...]

Roan Mountain in bloom
Submitted by Harvest The Ride
This was the second year we have hiked on Roan Mountain with the rhododendron and azaleas in bloom, but my first fathers day. We left a heat wave in the Tennessee Valley for a bitter sweet cool day at high elevation. Temperatures were in the 50’s and I’m sure it dropped [...]

Submitted by redstone underground
Hey All, on Tues 6/23, there is an open house meeting for the Lyons to Boulder Regional Trail. This is a regional connector that will run loosely along the feeder canal that runs from Lyons to the Boulder Reservoir. 2 years ago we, as voters, approved an additional transportation tax (ie not [...]
Paula runs (and rides) again
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
It’s hard to believe, but not long after breaking her back, Paula’s running and riding again. We’re keeping the rides mellow/smooth, of course, and likewise for the runs. One ride was to head south on the AZT from Flagstaff.
Well, we rode more urban path than singletrack, but it’s AZT. This [...]

A Mile in my Boots. Or shoes. Or pedals. Or…
Submitted by redstone underground
This last Sunday, I was fortunate enough to participate in a program sponsored by Boulder County Open Space called a Mile in my Boots. Or something like that. The name was kind of catchy-ish but not catchy enough for me to remember. Basically, we got together a bunch of outspoken hikers, trail [...]
When it rains
Submitted by redstone underground
There’s always somewhere to ride, even if you’ve only got an hour and it has just rained. A few days ago, I made a trek up to the L. Once at the L, I decided that wasn’t high enough so I hiked to the top of the ridge. Good views.

I placed 12th in the Teva games, which I was fine with, and 18th in the Colorado Springs race which I am not at all happy about. This was my [...]
To Flagstaff with Pain
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
I pedaled through a world that was somehow different. The sun was warmer, the clouds cooler. The blood coursed through my body with more power. Each breath was deeper.
…
For a while I feared that I had lost Paula. I was inside when she fell off the ladder. I heard it [...]
Black Bear
Submitted by Harvest The Ride
I had to be in Gatlinburg early the other morning for a trade show, on the way in I came across 3 Black Bears at dawn. It’s really an amazing sight, they are a beautiful animal. The cub was climbing around on a tree playing. I shot a bad pic, but [...]

A Loop Grand
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
Pre-Loop: It wasn’t hard to talk Chad into my brilliant (ha!) idea. I dropped a quick email and was surprised when he responded that he was in.
We’d head north a few days later, determined to race the 360 mile Grand Loop, backwards. It had never been done before, but then [...]
