Back from the sky

Breckenridge has a lot to offer for mountain bike riders. More than I thought anyway. I didnt realize the altitude of Breck with the town it self at about 9,800 feet. Most days took us over 11,000 feet with my highest day being around 12,400. My biggest ride was 38.5 miles with over 6000 feet of climbing for 5 1/2 hours of ride time. Not everyday was the riding that big. I think I rode about 150 miles total in the 7 days of riding I did. Here are a couple of pics, I will have more but have to go through them all to see what the best ones are. I also will right a little better report on my trip in the coming days. Enjoy!







Taking it all in...




Holla..

Lately..

There hasnt been a lot going on for me lately. I have not been on my bike all that much, my back has been giving me fits, and my bank account is screaming at me... its hungry.

I have only done about 4 road rides in the past 2 weeks. Of those 4, one was a fast century in which my average speed was 21.1 for exactly 99.9 miles. Not by my self of course, but with a few other racer types that I know. It hurt!

I had to miss the Castlewood MTB race this past weekend due to the above mentioned issues of my back and small bank statement. Actually, my bank statements dont look that bad but when you consider the amount in it has to pay for four tires and brakes for my car(60,000 miles on the originals, not bad) and pay for my trip to Breckenridge Colorado(NICE!!) it starts to look much smaller.

The trip to Breck start tomorrow afternoon. The plan of attack is to drive through the night right to TommyKnockers Brewery in Idaho Springs, CO and get our Keg orders in. Then go right to a brand new IMBA standard trail just outside of town for some local shredding. After that we head back to the brewery to pick up our kegs and finish off the drive to Breck. The rest will be determined later and im sure it will all be good.

I should have tons of pics to show off next week. I wont be back untill the 16th.




I have to finish packing now.... Bummer its going to be hot in the STL when im in the cool 65 degree weather of CO........sike...



...so 1996
