Resolution

I hit the trail with some of the folks from mtbr today, they were cool. We rode, I crashed then we rode some more. it was kind of weird, my front tire started sliding on this downhill, I thought i might be able to recover but it kept going. Then I hit the ground and started sliding on my right but cheek. I wondered how long the sliding would last. I think I heard riders ahead of me asking me if I was all right before i stoped sliding. This pic is nothing compared to my but cheek, but i dont want to post that here.

November 21st -Bring a Roadie Mountain Biking Day

Today I got Roadie Joe on the Trail. Joe's the fastest Roadie I know, we do quite a bit of road riding together in the summer, he's a good training partner.

Anyway we hooked him up with a bike tonight-yeah why not drag the roadie into the woods in the dark. The trail is a 2000 foot climb followed by a 2000 foot decent and it parallels one of our favorite Road climbs, one in which joe can completely hose me on. Well joe road well. I road a brisk pace, uncomfortable but I let off the gas when it hurt and I was still able to gap him a few times, but he more or less kept up. I was more impressed with the downhills. I wasn't trying to ditch joe but I was moving at a good pace and he kept up with me most of the way, except for a few techy sections, but i think joe will be back on the dirt!

E's First Day out

Pimp'n

I built a new ride For E. She doen't have a bike at the moment and never had anything high end, and I had lot of bike parts lying around from my Scalpel. I don't think I am going to go back to 26" Wheels so I acquired a medium F800 frame that would fit her nicely. It came out real nice, im impressed. I had the Carbon Lefty Re-built at the LBS, its got XTR Derailers and shifters, XT Crank, and Crossmax SL wheels thomson elite seatpost. Easton EA 70 Carbon Seatpost Maxxis Ignitor Tires, Avid Juicy 5 brakes..its going to be good. I am such a bike junky, i had great time putting together.
