He just must be mad that the whole fixie thing has gotten so trendy, they even have ACTION FIGURES! I imagine kids at recess playing with their favorite fixie hipster in the gravel on the playground…
I am all about cycling getting recognition, but give me a Darth Vader figure and TIE Fighter any day!

Winter finally decided to show up in mid February this year. It’s turning out to be a big surprise after the long dry spell and occasional storm up until then. So I did my obligatory snow shoe race in early January and promptly traded the snowshoes in for skis.
Now I’m setting my sights on the Imperial Challenge in April.

Wasn’t sure if it was going to happen this year, but the ski resort decided to pull it off. Also new this year in Breckenridge is the 5-peaks challenge. A 10,000 foot plus amount of climbing and descending the peaks around Breck. I’m considering doing the race but I need a partner that can crush the competition with me.

I’ve been getting some backcountry skiing in with Yves Piecoup of Montezuma’s Revenge fame. Last Friday we hit French Pass, there are a couple photos below. It’s a long slog out there and the great thing about it is you’re the only one out there. Conditions were perfect until the top of the pass where the wind, snow, and cold were brutal.

We received an email from a friend of a couple who are traveling South America. The couple’s adventure took them to Bolivia and the famous El Camino de la Muerte. Check out their tale of riding bikes down 62 miles of Death Road!

Its snowy and cold here in Colorado right now, all that means is it give me time to make some summer plans! Every year, I try to add a new biking adventure into my schedule. This year, I am going to head down to Colorado Springs and check out the Ring the Peak Trail. I’ll post a report some time in July! 😉

An enthusiastic group of people have orchestrated early season racing up in Greeley! Colorado Indoor BMX will be hosting three race weekends- One in early January, one in mid February, and the last one in March. The Turner Posse headed up for the first race, there was a huge turnout on both days, I’d guess 350-400 on Saturday with 32 motos (by age and level) and 250-300 on Sunday with 28 motos. Even though the turnout was less on Sunday, the racers on Sunday were the hardcore seasoned riders. After 3 qualifiers for each age group, Saturday ended up with both Conrad and Dillon making the final for their age group and both got second place podiums. On Sunday, only Lander made the final and managed to blow a tire in the first turn, he was bummed, he had a good shot at making the podium, alas he will race another day.
So you are asking yourself, why do i care…..?
They have a MTB class that does not require ABA membership, that’s why! Bring your $10 and a MTB, and you get a full day of racing indoors. It would be great to get a bunch of the team out there and invite as many other Front Range teams and hope for a huge turn out.
For more info- http://www.cibmx.org/
Update- The Turner Boys just got their district numbers for 2010-
Conrad is #121
Dillon is #73 (hoping to move up to expert)
Lander is # 129
Good job little BPC’ers!
