Falling…
The air is cool, the leaves dry and crumbling, the dirt wet, and the days shorter. Fall is in full bloom, and the distinct sky and clouds against the colorful mountains are a nice reminder of that fact. The trails are still on good shape, and hopefully will be all the way to [...]
The Sundance 12
The Sundance 12 Hour race went well. I rode relaxed, and just tried to keep things consistent. I took a lunch break about mid-day, and I fell a lap back to the guys I was riding with. I was tired and needed to rest, so I took a rest. After my [...]
