Fast lane

Sometimes you win.


And sometimes you rip up half your face and get a ride in an ambulance.


Either way it makes you smile. At least with the half of your face that will move.

Prologue

That is right, the Tour de Otree is not in order, but it is a grand tour so it needs to have a prologue.

It is the elevation profile, and the gravel, more than the distance that makes this ride so dialed.


Clouds over Boulder all morning, rode up into them pretty quickly.


The whole world up there was frosted in.... frost.


This looks a little different than in August.


Hearts, Stars, and frost flakes.


When I made it to the Gold Hill general store the front spokes were all frosted, not sure it is as cool in the picture as it was to my frozen brain


If things go right I may eat more of the gold hill general store chicken pot pie than anyone, man that stuff is good.

Stage 1

Well, I survived stage one of the Tour de Otree. And after 3 or 4 days I can even sort of think again, as well as normal anyway. Big thanks to Psmurf for use of the Bloody 1x1, nothing like the use of a bike and lock, dried blood included...

Hwood and crew put on a great show in Billy's park. EZ and James put on a T Brown style show on the ss cx bikes. I learned that superfans like to drink Patron more than racers. There are some pictures from the weekend, but Thorny has the best one up so that is that.

The lifts will be on here soon, even though the weather has been warm and there is not much snow....

These guys are in The Republic right now doing what they do. I haven't seen them, but I did see one of their sweet sprinter van's. Wonder if they need a Huey approved driver to rally one of those??

Stage 2 of my tour is still up in the air, it will happen, just not sure how or when.

Enough links, time to go ride.

Sunday Ride

Headed west up some gravel roads... again.

After several hours the Spot got leaned here for a bit.



While I went in to the sweet old train car coffee shop in Ned.


This is a little look back with Ned below and Indian Peaks above.


I think it all fit within the meaning of 'perfection'.
