Did some more exploring this weekend. Found lots of fun new trails on Saturday linking up some more common stuff. Still no snow to speak of - maybe tonight?

Did I say Permit? I meant H instead of P, silly me. There are some okay trails in this neck of the woods. But it’s mostly sandy, loose double track covered in old cars parts and shotgun shells. Maybe I could be convinced to go check it out again (perhaps in a couple weeks when the Aspens are all golden yellow).

2007 was quite the year filled with ups and downs. There was some good riding, considering we had a new born join the household. It was also the first full year of living in our new home ever so close to excellent trails. Proximity is everything when you’re dealing with a 6 month old and a 4 year old. Being able to sneak out the back door for an hour ride has been critical. Here’s some of this past years riding highlights.
Kokopelli Trail (again) - An entirely off the couch effort after a winter/spring full of baby and travel. In 2008 the ride will be a single speed adventure.
Spring non riding - the proper way to transport your kids, spotted on Holbox Island
Lyons Fat Tire Fest - riding with 60 of your best friends
Firecracker 50 in Breckenridge - I did manage to squeak in one race. Teamed up with Scott for team single speed. First ever one speed race for me. Rigid at the time, my bike now has a squishy fork. 2008 races will be of the singlespeed variety - too much fun! 
Monarch Crest Trail - finally got to do this ride with my late friend Chuck Tanguay. Every ride with Chuck was an adventure!
Fall Riding - Wyoming, Colorado, we had a beautiful fall season.
Winter Riding - Where we’re at now. It’s -2 degrees outside as I write this, brrrr. The new cross bike is gonna fill the winter riding fix though.
Beautiful ride tonight. Headed out from the homestead - 50’s and a little windy. The warm weather the last couple of days has taken care of the weekends snow and made for some dry trails. Don’t think this will last too much longer, not in December at least.
