Epic Ride pics

Not many pics were taken, and hopefully there will be video to follow, but it was a great ride. Definitely epic. There were bee stings (Marc), flats (Marc), Manny, and a closed road to climb and descend. awesome.

Andres and Marc getting ready. Marc is preparing the kitchen sink for his saddle bag.


















Manny's sweet steel Colnago. He won all the euro points today.


















Taking a break on East Fork before ascending GMR from the backside.















Marc and his flat 1.0 mile up GMR (I wasn't complaining).















Post-ride reward.

Afternoon Cross

Not quite as amazing as Morning Cross, and minus knobbies, but I did stumble upon a Land Shark. Somewhat rare on dirt but they scare away the mountain lions, so that is cool.

Morning Cross

This morning was unbelievable on the fire roads... As I got above the fog and the sun started breaking it up, it made for some amazing views. For those of you interested, weekly cross rides will likely start next week, and go once a week (tues or wed.) throughout the winter.

olympics live and online

three CSC riders in the top five?

pretty neat coverage on the NBC Olympics site. usually I'm hard on the media but this was good. I almost felt like it was a video game.

it's 2:58AM but I'm still up and watching. (so much for the morning ride now.) My buddy is about to ride his fourth Leadville 100 in tee minus two hours but I've moved over to Women's Soccer for Sewden vs. Argentina. I hope the wife doesn't mind that I'm up late watching women chase balls around.

I hope coverage of the mountain biking at track cycling is this good.
