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!
