Tuesday and we’re still riding
Submitted by redstone underground
Yep, we’re still riding. Probably a Lyons Ghetto route. How about we call out a predetermined course that we’re all familiar with and have a race. Time trials? Something different?

the brew ride
Submitted by Harvest The Ride
This image emerged a couple months after the world-famous but totaly secret brew-ride. The brew ride achieved international fame after its subtle but brief mention in bike magazine, yet the details, date and location remain a total secret to all but those who know.
There is no brew-ride.

50 with G&T
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
Another very fine afternoon, and another fine ride with G and T.
Check out Sprocket (the pup) watching from his perch.
A nice & juicy chain fruit cholla. Oh the wonders of the Sonoran desert.
A lap of the chutes was obligatory. Tail breezes made it supa fast and thereby supa swoopy.
Greg rolled [...]
If I have to…
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
Friends in town… what’s that, you want to ride the Arizona Trail, through Colossal Cave and Pistol Hill?
Let’s see…… 70 degrees, sunny skies, calm winds.
I guess… if I have to! Twist my arm whydoncha!
Greg the photo wizard. Just his presence got me back into photo happy mode.

A little AM Hall Ranch
Submitted by redstone underground
Even if it doesn’t snow today, it’s going to be a bit until the rock garden dries out. Frozen on the way up and a little on the wet side coming down. I got my fix, though. Anyone else going a little stir crazy?

24 Hours of Old Pueblo 2010
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
I think I was unprepared for how much fun Old Pueblo was going to be. You might say I was a little unprepared in general. I didn’t know I was doing the race until three days before the start. Half of 2-Epic was sick, and for some reason the guy [...]

The search for dry CO singletrack…Peach Valley OHV
Submitted by redstone underground
Tuff winter for all types of riding. Are you desperate enough to drive to Olathe, CO a tad south of Grand Junction? I was. Cutting edge research on mtbr revealed Peach Valley may be one of the only dry spots available in the state. The forecast showed a 20% chance of snow [...]
wheel goodies
Submitted by redstone underground
Got some Stan’s ZTR Crest rims in for Doug. Pretty nice, too. 24.4mm wide and a lower profile sidewall. Can’t wait to see these babies built up.
And speaking of built up, I just finished a build on one of my favorite combos - Chris King, DT Swiss 4.2 and DT Supercomp spokes. [...]

Sweet winter
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
Man, I love winter time in AZ. Beautiful weather, minus a rainy day here or there, and trails are almost always dry.
Even better, the dry trails and radiant sun attract friends from afar.
I got to sneak in a chill Sweetwater ride with Tom Purvis, Gary Blakley and their friend Jake [...]
the cold is on
Submitted by redstone underground
Well, there’s lots of snow on the ground, it’s cold, and all the trails at Boulder Valley Ranch are closed. Anyone up for ripping around Lyons tonight?

winter blues
Submitted by redstone underground
Snow days aren’t all that bad. Good for a lap or 3 around the pump track.
Good for a ride in winter conditions.
Great things really do happen.
A blue bike for a blue day. Perfect.

White Rock
Submitted by Harvest The Ride
I found these old photos of the look out tower on White Rock, which was not mentioned in a GSMNP trail map. I went on to discover that White Rocks has since been renamed as Mt. Camarrer.
I had missed this portion of AT when I hiked a small chunk in 1996. [...]

SSUSA 2010 Results

Roll-out
See how wide my bars are? What I lacked in power against these boys I planned to make up with leverage.

Ramsay Cascade
Submitted by Harvest The Ride
Despite less than ideal weather, I was determined to make something out of nothing. Fortunately I was able to talk Eric into going for a hike on a shitty Saturday. We drove to the mountains in the rain, which became snow above 2000′. It was hard to tell at what elevation [...]
Our Southern Highlanders
Submitted by Harvest The Ride
My interest in the Smoky Mountain backcountry has been renewed since picking up a copy of Our Southern Highlanders. If not for the ban on dogs, I would certainly spend more time in these mountains; not to mention the favoring of horses over bikes!
In the interest of exploring, my latest bike [...]

Devils Backbone
Hall Top / Stone Mountain
TN Loookout Towers
Of course it’s better as a shuttle run, but Dunnigan lays out a good route to climb it:
From the Hartford exit (Exit 447), you can ride a 19 mile loop up to the Stone Mountain tower ( Hall Top). Park at Mill Creek [...]
SSUSA 2010
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
I blame it on Lynda. When I rode with her last weekend she made singlespeeding look so fun. More fun than it has ever seemed to me.
She was riding a shiny silver Lenz singlespeed. Perhaps coincidentally I had just picked up a shiny silver Lenz frame from Mike on the [...]
2010 Sponsor Update
Submitted by KRISTA PARK
I am excited for 2010! I was lucky enough to line up every one of my first picks when it came to companies and products this year! My goal was to build the sweetest bikes possible after looking at all Interbike had on display in September. Thanks to every company listed on [...]
Intro to snow bikepacking
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
The drive north was a little surreal. Fog curled over the Vermillion cliffs, the road was empty, and snow appeared low in the desert.
I met Mike Curiak and Brian Blair at the Jacob Lake Inn. Mike handed me a bicycle, fresh off the jig in Steamboat Springs.
A Snoots — a [...]
Ask and ye shall receive
Submitted by redstone underground
Remember the cone zone at the bottom of Hall Ranch and how the trail had widened to an unacceptable and disgusting width? Boulder County OS staff has reworked the trail. They have fixed most of the damage and have given more visual cues of the trails character. I’m going to go out [...]
