Missionary Ridge

Another blog with no pics. Sorry to disappoint! Today was a dirt road ride day. I’m trying to get ready for Breck100…a little late for that, I suppose, but at least I can start riding terrain, distance, and elevation levels that are similar. I’m glad I’m doing this as a 3-woman team! Lyn and Sue [...]

Lots of Biking

Just home from the almost 2 week trip to the parents’ home, and I decided to get back to the real biking, no more MO gravel roads!!
Thursday I rode Animas Peak. Great climbing, good workout on the legs.
Friday was a huge group ride organized by the local Durango bike-n-beer group, an informal group that loves [...]

Catching Up

The blog posts are becoming less frequent. Guess it’s too nice out to sit at the computer posting on the site. Lots of stuff has been going on these days, so how about a recap? Sorry, no pics!
Last weekend–Gunnison Growler
Dave Wiens and crew put on an awesome, humbling race. I wasn’t DFL, but I [...]

Durango MTBing

Work has been hectic and stressful for the past month. Lots of late nights and hours way beyond the normal 40 per week. I’m getting compensated with flex time, so that was the good thing. All the major deliverables are out of the way until the end of May. Then another wave in June. Regardless, [...]

Test Track

Sue introduced me to Test Track on Sunday. It’s got some climbing:

Nice day! I think summer is trying to emerge.
Some cool pics of the area.
Next weekend is 12 Hours of Mesa Verde. I’m going to be crewing for my main squeeze!

Early Season Battle Scars

Got in a great mountain bike ride with Sue. Lots of fun in the Horse Gulch/Telegraph Trail system. There were quite a few people out, but still not overly crowded on the trails yet.
I had a great time out on the trails, except for 2 minor incidents…okay, and I should preface this discussion [...]

Riding with Friends

Durango has become my home. It’s a place where there’s always someone ready for a good ride. I’ve got riding buddies everywhere! Strange, I knew just as many women who ride in Albuquerque, but I rarely got to ride with them. Here? Not an issue. I love this place!
Today, a group of 5 of us [...]

Livermore Tour

I was in Livermore, CA this past week for work. Not a bad place to have to work by any means! I decided to head up the weekend before the work week. I was traveling with a co-worker of mine, Esther, who has friends living in Pinole, Mike & Marcella. Mike & Marcella were nice [...]

Singlespeeding again!

I got 2 great days of singlespeeding in the Foothills this past week on my last visit to town. Thursday evening after work, then Friday afternoon, after taking a 1/2 day vacation from work to hit the trails! Talk about good medicine. I needed to be out under the warm, sunny skies of NM riding [...]

Green Machine

The long awaited pictures…at least I’ve been waiting for them. It’s taken some time (well worth it) to get the Schwinn back up and running, but it is now complete! Mom & Dad, what do you think (click on the pictures to get an enlarged photo)?!? You saved it for me, and it’s still [...]

Back at it

Well, I got 2 days on the road bike–outside!! The Ritchey cross bike has become my steed of choice these days. Got some fat cross tires on it, and it’s a little more upright in its geometry, making it easier to negotiate dirty, sandy shoulders.

I did a great “fat burner” kind of loop to Baker’s [...]

Last Chica Ride

Hooked up with the gals for a Foothills ride…my last for a while, although once the daylight starts extending more into the evening and I’m in town, I’ll most likely be seeing these ladies again for some fun rides after work!

Lisa and I took off from the house, headed up Dan’s trail and then towards [...]

Running into Old Friends

Did a Foothills ride today in 50+ degree temps. Beautiful! Everyone was out having a great time. It’s nice running into friends on the trail. Saw Tim W, John S, John M, Mark M, and Travis C today. Matt was out doing a roadie cruise with Nate and I guess they ran into lots of [...]

My Backyard…

Quick escape into
magical myriads of
singlespeed splendor

 
Bike from my garage
into the best singletrack
right in my backyard
 

 

 
Alone for awhile
deceptive solitude is
never forever
