Colorado Springs

I went for a ride today with brent w, one of our outside reps. he is a very cool cat and an accomplished rider. he was pro and even podiumed some times in super d. in the above picture we are looking at a view of garden of the gods from above. way above.

the views riding here are breathe taking to say the least, or maybe that was the climb to 8500 feet. who knows but i hope this is helping with my overall fitness.

ok. this is a bit Freudian. but nonetheless it provided a unique riding experience. in the middle of the tunnel you can't see the ground and just have to trust its there. just ride into the light.

this was near the top of the trail and we were headed down from here. the trail had so many fun features to ride. there were whoops and banked turns everywhere. it had a cheshire cat grin the whole time. 

this sorta gives some perspective of how high we climbed.

my buddy mike would love living here. these deer just wander in and out all the time. brent told me he saw a "trophy" earlier this year. he stopped counting points at 8. out the back of brents house is open space. meaning single track galore and hunting a bit further up.

this was the most fun ride to date and also the first time i have ridden three days in a row. i may be able to get four in a row here this afternoon after our demo event. if so i am taking it easy, the legs are feeling mushy but the mind is loving it.

on a side note my wisdom teeth are killing me and i may have to visit the dentist. not really looking forward to it but the tooth is killing me. not sure when i can fit it in due to not be able to drive on meds and being the only person who can legally haul the trailer around. i have tried what i am sure the FARMER would prescribe...beer more beer and some whiskey. it helps some but ...

off to work.
