Finding the goods

One of the cool things about all the rain we have gotten (and by "one of" I mean the only) is that it makes things grow. Besides making me grow impatient, it has really made the wildflowers explode.


Can you imagine having to ride through fields of these?

I have found an area that, unbelievable as it sounds, is very dry.
A bit off the beaten path, there are some very nice trails. I will post on them in the near future, but right now I am trying to work some things out with the development of this area.
Needless to say, you ride through lots of pretty flowers to get to some fun, rolly, twisty stuff. I kept the exploring to a minimum, as I had to race last night, but there is more than enough offshoots that I passed to keep me interested.

Lots of climbing is involved.

As for the race last night, well, I probably shouldn't have gone exploring. I felt like there was a wall in front of me the whole time. The Hill Side course was modified to keep things interesting. This has been the longest that the Hill Side has been the race route. The rain has made the Woods Side a muddy, mucky mess. We'll be lucky if we get to ride on that side next week. It just needs to not rain for a day or twelve.
The new course was fun, but not conducive for good singlespeed riding when tired.


Exciting things on the horizon. I did receive my new and improved White Brothers Fork. While I have a few miles on it, I am going to wait for a few more before I review it. I also have 2 sets of rubber that I have to give an opinion on.

Also in the works, is a new Dos Niner. We'll get to welcome another local to the world of 29ers as he relinquishes his old tiny wheeled ways.
