Snow daze
Rolled out of Eldo at 3:30 on Tuesday with snow flying.
Hopped into the singletrack near the Ned HS to rip it one last time for the year.
Great to get in there before winter locks it down.
If I went back today I would need snowshoes rather than a bike, a foot already and it is still coming down.
It is dumping in Boulder too, hope it keeps coming down. The UCI cx weekend will be prime for some superfan action if a foot of snow hangs around. Might need to dig out the superfan boots, it would be a shame to lose the Belgian mud off them, but that is what they are for.

Let it snow!
Should be interesting to see what this dumps on Eldora!?
Rode the Soulcraft for the second day this week. The fresh Phil bb is like butter, I think if I had a watt meter, I was using at least 50 extra just to get the old one to move..
Sunrise this am was unreal, bright red cloud filled sky. Sort of a calm before the storm feel, no wind, warmer that the past several days too.
Might be the last bike commute up the hill for awhile. Gave me a little extra motivation to charge up it today.

Saturday made day 6, bike 6, and route home 6 for the week. Great to work an extra day this week to make it happen. And six days in a row up the shelf road is a full week...
Picked up some new wheels on Friday, old blue King hubs off the Bianchi Martini have found new life with some Stan's 29er rims and Stans Raven cx tires. Peeled off most of the stickers and the wheels are pretty stealth looking. Reminds me of the looks of BBBB's set up with his dark blue travel mtn / cx bike.
Speaking of Bob Brown, he told me that the Stan's wheels would be great, but not to go and beat them off road and... or I would destroy them. So I headed home with plans for an unmarked connector from Mag to Flagstaff. Made a wrong turn and ended up going down some crazy rock ledges and 4x4 rutted out steep rocky roads. Then had to carry the TC over a ridge or two to get back on track, more crazy nasty 4x4 roads and I made it home in three and a half hours. The new wheel tire combo is great, and I didn't ruin them yet Bob.
Do I look lost here? I thought I was unlost, but then after I took this I figured out that I was still lost.
Sunday was up at work again to send out some TPS reports
Snowmaking was on and on! Tic toc...
Got a little superfan action in with the G pup on Sunday aft out at the Boulder Res. Great battle in the mens open race between Danny Summerhill, Jon Baker, Mat Pacocho, Brandon 'Dubba' Dwight, and Pete 'The Pilot' Webber. Summerhill pushed it from the gun, spent the most time on the front attacking, and had the most in the tank in the end. Great racing by all 5 guys, all tough as nails in the cold, wet snowy conditions.
