bring on the night



After a "we might have our baby today" incident and several hours at the hostpital, it was definitely good to get out tonight to relieve the pressure. The Tuesday night ride was a blast from the get go. We had about every type of bike representing, too. From full squish to full rigid as well as singlespeed to full gears. 29 and 26, too, come to think about it. We met near the bottom of Left Hand Canyon and headed up to some fully steep and rocky terrain known as the Left Hand Canyon OHV area. The ride was definitely more freeridey than xc. What we had lacking in xc groove and flow we made up for with steeps, boulders, and rocks. We hiked a little and rode a little. The elusive and wiley migz even made the trek out. He still manages to make it look easy, even on a fully rigid singlespeed!

Thanks for coming out everyone! Already thinking of next week. We'll head down to the flats near Boulder for some full moon riding. Hopefully the skies will be clear enough for a no lights ride!

At least you have a cold to blame, I'm just lame.

We'll be doing the no baby dance for you, until of course it's time to do that have a baby dance.

Sounds like a great ride. I must admit fear of how my legs/lungs would handle the climb and fear of how my shoulder would respond to the technical terrain at night kept me away.

I'm going to have to hit up LHC some Saturday morning though, too much good , technical stuff to have gone this long since riding it.

I could see heading up there this weekend. The earlier the better, with the other users up there.

Good ride indeed. I can't wait for things to thaw a bit this spring so we can head west of town for night riding.
