Tuesday Night Solstice-ish Ride

Man, what a great ride! We had daylight, we had night. We had bikes with broken parts, slow leakers, lights that didn't work, and we even managed to get off trail and freestyle it a bit. Oh, and rain, too. Wet rocks on technical trails. In a sense, just a great ride. The only thing that was a bummer was that Oskars was closed when we got there. So we had after hours at the shop with Dale's in a can and a bag of chips. Here's some shots from the the ride:

Do Not Watch the Arc

A lot of folks ask me what I like about Intense Cycles. Why I ride them and why I choose to sell them. Well, the answer is simple, really. They are great riding bikes and Intense is a solid crew that builds everything themselves.

Check out Jeff Steber from Intense's latest video and see why there are so many die hard Intense loyalists...

Left Hand OHV night ride video goodness

Don't blame me. Cool Factor Keith suggested that LHOHV south facing up high stuff looked kinda dry so maybe we should ride there. Always up for adventure, the crew gave a good "aye, aye" and we were off. Well, long story short, there was a lot of snow. We still rode, though :) Due to conditions, we shortened the ride by opting out of the additional Upper Carnage section. It was straight up to 5 points, up Fireman's, then down the sweet, sweet singletrack. The singletrack wasn't exactly dry exposed dirt, either. At least we had gravity on our side.



My video editing skilzez are still in process...

Good ride today

Got out with Doug today for a little singlespeed action on Picture Rock. We were able to start pedaling just as the sun came out full force. The sun felt great but didn't last that long. Up PR to Wild Turkey, then north to the lookout. We rode north Wild Turkey as an out and back. Doug was definitely one with his Redline Monocog - he slayed me coming down Wild Turkey as I pinballed the rigid forked Flight MC thru the rocks.


Picture Rock is such a great singlespeed trail. I especially love it on the bottom flowy sections



Coming back in, the sky was on fire. Hope everyone got out today.



Tuesday ride - South Boulder. This is an opportunity we need to hop on while we can (ie the trail is dry in the middle of winter).

Tuesday NIght Ride vid

We did a little poking around by Ned last Tues. Fun stuff. Climbing whilst riding with one hand and filming with the other is even more difficult when the trees are bar width. Helmet cam? Nope - hand cam!

Thanks Dave. May we have another!

Tuesday Night Ride Report

Last night's ride was an adventure; complete with water crossings, route finding, steep climbs, and rocky descents on new trails.









It of course also got dark before we made it back to the cars, but we all came prepared with lights: It doesn't take that many rides out with Dave before you learn your lesson ;-)
