Rose Hill Rally

On Sunday Chris, Blaine, Tim, & I met up at 6am, piled into the Brown's Cycles van, and went out to run support at the first rest station for the Rose Hill Rally. The rally is a 50k or 100k ride through the farms and fields from GJ to Mack to support St. Marys Hospital.



 After some tire pumping and derailieur tuning we closed up shop a tad late around 11ish.  Tim pulled the always popular "I want to ride but cant because ______ told me I had to do _____".  Overused but effective.  So Chris, Blaine, and I set off with grand goals of passing people like whoa.
 See that face?

The route took us out to 10 and Q roads, and despite dreams of seeking the elusive intersection of 1 and Z road, we followed the route and continued not passing people.  We eventually caught a couple who turned out to be frequenters of Browns and were having mechanicals so we joined up and road back to the park with them (and got broom wagon-ed along the way).

All in all it was a great day for riding with plenty of memories extensive tan lines had by all.

Western Rim on a Superfly

I took the shop 2011 Superfly out yesterday for a spin out in Rabbit Valley on the Western Rim Trail.



 Standing next to this thing the saddle was almost up to my kidney.
Thats the La Sal mountains off in the distance.  The ride went pretty well, a carbon, full suspension 29er is a little different than the steel, hardtail Voodoo 26er.  The wheels felt like they weighed 20 pounds and the bike is way longer than 'normal'.  That being said,  I did this ride last year in May and this time I was 1 mph faster for the ride. hmmmm...  perhaps I shall try the Trek Rumblefish Friday.
