As much as I love riding outdoors, its that time of year when you look out the window and it looks beautiful. Sunny and blue skies but the temperature is only 18deg! Tyler and I beat the cold and ended up getting some “indoor training” at the Woodward Indoor Park here in Golden! 😉 – Swift

Jon Watt sent me this link to a Velonews article about the Colorado Epic MTB Endurance Stage Race. Its nice to see that racers on a budget dont have travel to Costa Rica or BC to get a chance at an Epic-multi day-brutal stage race! What are your thoughts? Would you do a 5 day MTB stage race in CO? Would you only train and race big races that season? Would you race Solo or Team? – Swift

The 2008 Mountain States Cup series just got posted on their website. It looks like they came back with the classic races like Angel Fire, Crested Butte, Snow Mass, Telluride and Keystone. But I am REALLY excited to hear about the new race venues in Fruita and Sol Vista! I always love new courses! – Swift

With the warm fall we have been having in the Denver area, all of us have been riding quite a bit lately. But then last week, Jack Frost reminded us that its almost December with cold temps and a couple inches of snow. So, Matt, Tate, Tim, Tyler and I headed West for some dry dirt. Here is a photo of Tyler and the cliche biker pose… |

Colin Osborn serving it at the super fast, single barrier, Squawker Cross cyclecross race in Durango, Colorado. Todd Wells won the race after gapping Geoff Kabush with 30 minutes to go. |

FLC Cross beer tent frequented by cycling celebs such as Greg Herbold, Rick Crawford, David Farmer and the likes. With $1 beers and burritos there was not reason not to act like a child. |

| With about 20 minutes to go Wells extended his lead from 3 seconds to 10. Kabush was unable to match. |

It’s a fact that Gallup, NM has a ton of sweet riding open just about all year around. Located on I40 on the eastern side of the Navajo Rez ,Gallup’s mild climate makes it a sweet spot for high desert riding. The pic below is from the Mentmore trail about 1.1 miles into the ride.
Before you head out be sure and pick up a copy of the Gallup Waypoints riding guide. Go to http://www.gallupwaypoints.com/ to see where to pick up a copy. "Gallup Waypoints is a 60 page full color book with 20 detailed ride descriptions. We have good desert terrain, forested trails, and some high country smooth red-rock “slick rock”… It, also, c ontains some hiking recommendations and has a list of all the best restaurants in Gallup to refuel. Discover all the local trail knowledge around the Gallup area." We stayed at the Hampton Inn (aka Compton Inn) off of exit 22 and it was actually very nice.
Back to the Mentmore trail…basically the best ride we did in the three days we were there. Fast, hard pack singletrack. Its like riding on a sidewalk at times. Roll with some semi-slicks and you can really haul.
The Mentmore trail is where they hold the Dawn-till-Dusk 12-hour mtb fest in the spring.

We ate at the Coal Street Pub one night. It was ok grub for the region. High Mesa Bikes and Gear, www.highmesabikes.com, is a local shop located on Coal Street. We swung by Monday but they were closed.

So unless you have been living under a large rock for the past two years you have heard about all of the doping going on and more specifically “Operation Puerto”. Well the head guy behind this is named Dr. Eufemio Fuentes and these socks commemerate his life long contributions to the destruction of cycling…… – Tyler

So, I was awkened at 6:00 this morning by a phone call from Charlie. We had planned a ride on Monarch Crest today with a crew of other guys. He says that highway 285 was closed, it has snowed and only 15 deg on the top of Monarch. So, much to my dismay, we cancelled the ride and planned to head up to Buffalo Creek instead and ride the Colorado Trail there. My head hit the pillow and we followed through with Plan B later today. It ended up being a wonderful fall day in Colorado! Here are some picts of Lake Wellington and the CO Trail. – jesse
