Bang

Front tire meets rock at 40+mph... Bang.

Kept it upright, luckily the flat at the bottom of the shelf road was near.


Made use of the patch kit from my ducti wallet, Thanks Fride!

Rolled into Ned, looked at the tire and decided that the bus was the way to make it home alive.

Another Day

Another season.

Wed am, the pot of gold must be in the Town of Eldora.


The view back to Ned is golden anyway.


Thurs am things were a bit different, winter is back. About 20 out this morning with a wind ripping out of the west at 30+ mph and an inch of snow/ice on the ground. Made the ride up the shelf road on the Soulcraft intersting to say the least.

Just hoping the wind keeps up so I can get a sweet taily all the way home.

Picture pages

Decided to take a picture of something other than my bike at the bus stop yesterday.

Not a bad day getting to and from work...















By the time I made it home, the free hub on my rear King Hub was more like a fixie than a free hub...

Back on the HWood Jav today, should make for an interesting ride home since some snow might be flying up here today.

Happy Bday

T-Pain, 25 today.

Too cold at Eldo to rock the Flippy Floppys today...

Surly

The Surly Travelers Check got rolled out this am for the first ever commute. It rode like a bike... I think I have ridden that bike 20 times, and 18 of them were in Germany. It was the perfect bike for a different time and place, but after putting the beat down on the Spot I figured I may as well do the same to another.

Saw a red fox walking around on the swimming pool that is covered at the Boulder park a couple blocks from home this am, crazy like a fox...

We got G all cleaned up at the groomers yesterday. After the last attempt at giving him a bath at home, which resulted in him being clean and our place being a total disaster, decided it is easier to have it done by a groomer. He walked away with a bandana too, that is right, he is poppin it and rockin it like an Izod...

Weekend

Walked around up in the Indian Peaks area on Saturday.

Up in the banner, lower left is the backside of Eldo, Muleshoe and Corona are pretty clear.

G was enjoying the snow.


Great views of Rollins Pass.


Steady 30+mph wind kept things brisk.


80 and sunny in Boulder felt pretty nice when I made it home.

Managed to get the Surly Travelers Check set for some commuting action for the week.

Opted to ride the moto this am to allow for some extra sleep. Cool ride up with the temps in the low 30s.

Saw a bull Moose crossing the road near Ned HS, thing was huge, glad I had a car between us. Huge, and tall, walked over a standard height barbed wire fence like it wasn't even there.

History Lesson

Daily Camera

That loop, and every canyon from the Peak to Peak to the Front Range, contains all my little biking routes.
