With the onset of big mountain season almost here but lurking instabilities still the norm in the Front Range and Summit County it seemed like a good idea to go ride Bikes in Fruita. I’ve never ridden there but Allison is a regular in those parts so she set up a group of friends to [...]

After the day in Park County I headed back to the city to get some rest. It was so good to sleep until noon. My friend Kim was heading out of town soon to go for Shasta and wanted to get some exercise so we decided to go for a ride. This was my first [...]

Went for a bike ride with my friend Dave. Got a late start and had to turn back due to rain. Made it 9 miles in and got 2700′ of vertical before we turned around. Such a fun ride. The aspen singletrack is so perfect.

Went for the longest ride I’ve ever done last weekend. It was awesome. We started at the top Mineral Bottom Edge and met up with the other members from our group. I think the final number was 11 people. Some of the group was from Salt Lake and the rest were from Colorado. We loaded [...]

Every year I seem to make my way back to New Hampshire for a little R&R and good family time. This year I decided to do some riding. Waterville Valley used to have a beginner area on Snows Mountain. The lift still runs but only in the summer. There are a couple trails off the [...]
