You might be right. Found a guy who his willing to share his knowledge on how to train. I‘m planning on having a good go at the SSWC this year.

Good on you for caring for your mother!!

Finally got out for a ride on the Honzo. Currently set up with mullet since the other 29" rear wheel is out of commission. It's super slack, super low bb, lots of fun. Jane's favorite part is ending with a soak in the seasonal snow melt creek.

Been lucky enough to get rides and hikes in 3 to 5 days a week lately ,Its been prime riding

Over the weekend some friends insisted I take them on a guided tour of my trail for my 60th birthday celebration ride. Was mostly waiting for whipper snappers on carbon fully's all day.

Put together an awesome 3 1/2 hour single track ride with 4000 vert today steep climbs with a mix of janky downhill and flowey rolling single track , was pretty fun. solo riding is the shit sometimes.

Iron Mountain Trail , Red Rocks open space park and Section16 Trail made for a rad multi loop ride..

Just got home from a quick neighborhood lap on the ESD. No photos, but did veer off the usual path to check out a new game trail that's revealed itself this spring. While it was a bit "bushwhacky" with good amount of rubble from forestry work the last few years at first, it led to some interesting steep, duffy, slabby stuff that came back onto the main trail! Gonna be a fun alt route after a bit of TLC.

I love those sneaker routes , I usually find stuff like that when I'm hiking. I found an old abandoned trail or maybe once some kind of road that connects a higher trail to a completely different lower trail a couple weeks ago while on a run , The next day I rode to it with my silky saw and some pruners and made it rideable , Its about a mile and a half of rolling down hill with nice dirt...makes fro a great alternate route while riding home from rides.

Yeah, my problem right now is that when I do have time away from work, family, running kids around to activities, etc. there's that tough choice of "Do I hike and take a couple tools and make something to ride next time? Or do I go for a ride now while I have the opportunity?" I usually carry a small folding pruning saw, which can be very effective on anything ~6" or less. But I'm not carrying a Rogue hoe and/or hard rake out on the bike ...although I suppose I could use some ski straps to attach it along the top tube? Hmm...

I understand , I have much less time for myself with my current situation..My main trail I take care of needs a full day of work , not sure if I will get to it anytime soon plus after the first big storms of late spring early summer it will need even more work , letting it fester for a while.

Not today, but last summer in Darrington. Buddy finally sent me a link to the video he took. I was ahead of the camera, you can see the tree that was leaning across the trail. As I rode by it I had to duck and I still clipped it with my right bar end, just hard enough that it fell behind me.
