I took the Carver to Phil’s World in Cortez, CO for a fun ride with Kerry.
Wow, now I can really appreciate that rigid fork! It still hurts a little on the descents, but for climbing, the bigger wheel and the rigid fork make me feel strong! I was able to go over obstacles I haven’t [...]

Decided to take the Carver out for another fun ride with Matt (no choice since the Moots and Intense had a flat!).
Matt showed me parts of Test Tracks I’d never seen before. I ride Test Tracks, but always mix it up with a College ride or the Gulch. I rarely spend more than [...]

The Carver 96er is built! This baby is awesome! Thanks to Matt for building up my fully rigid, Carver 96er singlespeed!!
The short first ride was in the Gulch…
This baby has some parts from two of the greatest sponsors we have: Ergon and White Brothers! I love Ergon grips, so of course Matt had to add [...]

It’s an awesome riding destination, but not something you want to talk about doing while drunk with your friends, lest you get accused of being a pervert. Just ask El Jefe about that one. Even his wife doesn’t leave him alone about that one.
Here’s me with a goofball grin at the top. It started snowing [...]

So I don’t know if they’re all brothers or even if they’re all white, but I do know that they know how to make one hell of a fork! White Brothers has been a great sponsor for Big Wheel Racing, and I recently got the opportunity to pick up a Magic 100 for the Intense [...]

I love Ergon grips. I’ve done posts before on these babies, but I gotta do it again because they’re just so great! Plus, Jeff just sent Matt and me some new grips. I got 2 pair of the GP1 Leichtbau for grip shift, which is the only way I ride with the dirt gears.
I already [...]

A much belated post, but I’ve been lazy about getting the photos from Matt. Got a chance to ride an awesome Durango loop that starts with Jones Creek to Pinkerton-Flagstaff to Dutch Creek and ends with a descent on Hermosa. It’s so cool to me that I can ride such great trails and expect to [...]

Funny, all my years in Albuquerque, I’d pretty much become a solo rider. I’d ride with Denise, Paige, and Sue (before she bailed and moved to WA), but for the most part, I was always on my own and had learned to love that. It’s really relaxing riding on your own. You have time to [...]

I love hanging out in SoCal! I really like it here, despite the traffic. Actually, I’ve been in the San Jose and honestly, traffic isn’t as bad as in LA.
A software engineering conference brought me out here. I submitted a presentation to the conference and was accepted, so this got me a discount on the [...]

Matt and decided to get off the road for our Sunday ride together. What a beautiful decision. Tight, twisty, singletrack everywhere.
Splendid colors.
Spectacular views.
The perfect way to end February and enter into the month of March.

I biked to Needles today on the raod bike. I think they should change the name to Noodles. I like the word Noodles better than Needles.
Wow, it was beautiful out today! 50s, quite nice, and it’s February! Good enough for knee warmers for the legs, undershirt, jersey, vest, and arm warmers on top. Still need [...]

I’m missing the mountain biking now. I got a chance to escape to the Foothills once again and did a nice ride. I took off from the usual spot at the top of Spain, then headed north. I love the north Foothills. The weather was much warmer than I thought and the skies were blue. [...]

Sunday, Matt and I decided to do our Sunday ride ritual–with a visit to Bread (can’t do a ride without stopping there–it’s yummy!). The forecast was 40 for the high, but when we rolled out onto the driveway, it was definitely warmer than that. Beautiful! Snow be damned….we’re riding.
We did the Baker’s Bridge loop and [...]

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve been on the blog. I found something truly horrible online that is a total waste of time, yet it is addicting – Facebook. So I’m trying really hard not to use it quite so much. Time to get back to the more substantial blog post rather than a [...]

One last ride in the Burque before heading back home. I hit the Foothills with Lyn before saying adios. We started the ride from her place, where Kasen was getting a story.
The day was overcast, but still “warm”. I totally overdressed!
After the ride, it was back home to this…
Poor Matt got the fun job of [...]
