Wow! I guess it has been quite a while since posting. The Colorado Winter has not been kind this year. It didn't snow that much, but what has fallen has not gone away. I didn't feel like skiing, either.
What riding I've done, has been on paved paths. Though I did get out today after a week in Florida which netted me this.

Finally! After staring at the new bike for almost two months I was able to get it dirty today. Good old Pueblo, CO came through yet again for winter riding in the warm sun with dry and dusty trails.
There were certainly plenty of people out there today. In fact five COMBA Board members were out an riding. Three of them in our group.
It's sort of like a new car. Once that first scratch appears you use it for what it was intended and not at art. Dust helps.

I guess it's not much of a mountain bike ride when your not riding a mountain, or a mountain bike. Then again, the old steel commuter POS bike is a kind of a cyclocross bike and I did ride a little dirt with it.
So, after everyone bailed on me, I was determined to spend a day not eating roasted garlic and tomato bruschetta smothered in olive oil on french bread. It's kind of my new favorite snack food and I need to seperate myself from it. Too much procrastinating about a ride and never leaving the kegerator.
I opted for the POS because I had mileage in mind and well, the road bike had a flat. With temperatures on their way up to the mid 50's, I kept to a couple of easily removable layers. Starting from the house, I glanced over at the Fairmont Trail (the only bit of dirt on this ride) and since things were still semi-frozen from the night, set the skinny tires on the dirt.

So the weather has turned nasty here. Snow has been on the ground for a while and it has pretty much shut down riding with the occassional road ride exception. A big chnage from last year, when we were still riding in shorts.
So, I had a custom Ti bike built for me. Today, I went to Steamboat Springs and picked it up.

Off to the Western Slope for what was to have been four days of riding. We ended up with two very good days, but I'm not complaining. Being in the desert on my bike after two weeks away on business, is certainly enough to alter body, mind, and soul.
Western Rim trail in Fruita and a nice mix of the Lunch Loops (Ribbon, Fred's Lunch, Holy Cross, Miramonte, and some other thing I like to call the "gray matter" of death) in Grand Junction provided enough mileage and tech to make the cold nights in the tent fade away (ok, Ambien helps too). A great group of people, beer by the fire, conversation, and even a soak in the Glenwood Springs Hot Springs on the way home.
prepare: verb: make ready or suitable or equip in advance for a particular purpose or for some use, event, etc
