Big ole' white flakes...

Its snowing like mad here, nearly as much white stuff as I've ever seen in Fruita. I've already been off the bike for two weeks due to Thanksgiving and the subsequent flu-like virus from hell. Finally feeling better and then this happens! I'm dying to ride my bike, may have to drive to Vegas and do the Bootleg Race the weekend before Christmas. Shame its so far, but I'd walk 500 miles to ride my bike at this point.

Oh yeah, I did this video awhile ago for MRP. I don't think I ever posted it, so here ya go.

Rumors abound....

Rumor has it that the only American stop on the World Cup circuit next year (Windham, NY) may be off. What a shame if it is true. BRING BACK THE WORLD CUP TO COLORADO! Seriously, what better place than somewhere here in Colorado? We have a fairly sizable population in Denver/Front Range that I'm sure would make the trip to the mountains to see legends like Steve Peat and Sam Hill. And we have mountains - much bigger than they do on the east coast.

Before the storm...

Hard to believe it was sunny and in the sixties yesterday as I sit in the coffeshop today and watch the rain come down. I'm glad I got out and did some filming yesterday while I had the chance. I rode the Frontside Overlook trail which is a primative doubletrack that climbs a few thousand feet in just a couple miles. Its no fun to climb, but a blast to descend. Its a great way to practice high speed flat turns..because thats all it is! Well, there is some gnar in there and plenty of loose dirt and babyheads.



There used to be a great trail that trapsed across the top of the Bookcliffs beginning at the summit of the overlook trail. Yesterday a brand new carsonite sign adorned with "closed" greeted me after the grueling climb. I wish the BLM would expend as much energy building trails as they do closing them.

Enjoy your weekend!

She's a ripper!

Hot new winter build for the V-Tach.....
