Guess where we went last week.

I bet you can't guess!

Slow week

It was another great week. I got out for all the normal night rides tuesday, wed, thurs..... Had a bunch o fun but did not take many pictures. Just wait till the next post...

For your entertainment.... A few shots from the past week, including what i like to call " redneck gets a compact car ". Enjoy!

Jim's go to flag

Everybody

Yesterday Jim and myself got up to flagstaff to do a bit of riding. We had ourselves a great time with perfect weather. The plan was to ride up the fort valley trails to the secret trails around to shults creek and sunrise trail, but we found some unmarked trails we HAD to check out. These trails took us up, up, up before dropping 800 foot in less than a mile on a wicked down hill trail that ran into the rocky ridge trail. After riding we got some chow with chuck the dog at a pizza pub before going home. It was a good time.

Prescott ride

Everybody

I recently had the honor of heading up to Prescott to join some of my friends for a GREAT ride and evening. We all met up at Tom's "cabin" up in prescott. ( Very nice place Tom ). Tom had the ride all planned out for Ben, Matt, and myself. I forget the names of the trails, but I can tell you it was 18 miles of some GREAT singletrack in 70 deg air. Perfect! Everybody had a great time on the ride before grabbing some of the best "new york style Italian" food i have ever had. I went home that night but the guys stuck around for a road ride down the big hill and back. The drive home was also great, windows down and radio up the whole way again with cool temps all the way home.

For your entertainment.... some pictures of the ride

TNFF 08/28/10

Everybody

Last night saw a HUGE turnout for the " Cool " 90 degree weather we had last night. It was a great group. I did not have my spedo last night but somebody said that we did over 15 miles. We hit 95% of fins, missing only northstar, and the bear claw to Murle's mile connector. I think there was well over 19 people that took the start. Here are some pictures from the night. I think that the one with the moonrise behind the group is my favorite night shot yet.

Enjoy...

Weekday adventure

Everybody

The heat has finally backed off a bit allowing some afternoon rides. Here are some pictures from the last week including a ride with Jim T. and the Wednesday night Dairy guys. The ride with Jim ended with an unfixable flat that had me hoofing it back to the cage. Enjoy...

Flagstaff adventure

Everybody

This weekend Amy and I got ourselves up to Flagstaff to try and beat the heat in the valley. It always happens to us this time of year where we are just fed up with the heat and need a break. We figured we would test out the new car to see how it will do on a good road trip. Amy got out of work early on friday so we were able to be on the road by 2. The drive was good, more traffic than i am used to on my weekday trips. The car ran great and held all of our junk. We got into town around 5.30. We did some window shopping before heading into the tourist district where we did more window shopping before grabbing dinner. Next we set out to find a camp spot. I had the camp off of 89A by sunset crater in mind. We got in there right around dark and got camp made before enjoying a fire and turning in for the night. It was a cool 50 something overnight. Perfect! In the AM we broke camp and went back into town for some breakfast at the village inn. The chef salad was great! Before leaving town we got some gas and got the first ever official gas usage check...... 220 miles on 6.5 gal! Even at 3$/gal it only cost 19$ to get to Flag. 33MPG!. On the way home we only used 1/4 tank. I ant wait to see what we get out of this tank. To compare, the Titan coat about 50$ to get to Flag. It was fun for sure. A great escape from the heat.

Some pictures from the trip...... Amy was tired when we got home, and i think Willow missed her.
