Ride Ride Ride

Lots-o-riding going on! Last night for our Monday nite co-ed ride we had a decent turn out: Tim, Big Jim, Skinny J, JP, Wheelie, and me. We started out at the golf course and rode pretty much all of those trails and then over into the forest service land as well. It was grueling and included plenty of creek crossings and other craziness. It wore me out!! Then, when we all rolled back to our vehicles, someone had random bike-related parts neatly placed next to all of our vehicles! How bizarre! We piled them all up by a tree to make a shrine to the bike witch. A head shock, a Yakima bike rack, and a rotor were all left behind. Whoever did this, you had us guessing!
Tonight, as usual, I'm leading a Ladies' Ride that will leave from the shop. Meet here at 5:45 and we'll leave soon after. Call or post any questions.
Then, Thursday night, we lead both Women's and Men's rides so join us then for more off road fun. Again, meet here at 5:45. See you on the dirt!

Heeeerrrrrre's Ellsworth!

What fun! I'm afraid that I need an Epiphany now. It was such a solid ride; you could bomb downhill over anything and everything and it still climbed really well (an important combination). Good times. We had an awesome turn out...12 of us out there in such short notice was pretty good for little ol' Grand Lake. Thanks a ton to Mike and Carol (the Ellworth folks) for coming out and showing us what full suspension bikes are supposed to feel like. They will be at the Winter Park Fat Tire Festival June 23-25th for more demo rides, so go ride them and then we can order 'em up for you! You can also check out their tour schedule at www.ellsworthbikes.com

Yes, we're still talking...

These are called divorce bikes for a reason! We tried our luck on a fancy schmancy Ellsworth full suspension tandem. It was so difficult we barely made it up the first little hill. I think the problem was that I was kinda steering from the back and Tim wasn't exactly vocal enough about when to and when not to pedal. It was a riot! We couldn't stop laughing. I think if we just tried it for a little while longer, we could have done it. Good times.

DEMO RIDE!!!!

Ellsworth is coming, Ellsworth is coming!!!! That's right, you heard me: the boys from Ellsworth are going to be here with about 20 different bikes for us to take out and ride.
We're oh-so-excited. And hope you are too! Meet us here, at the shop, at about 1:30 on THURSDAY or at 2pm at the Idylglen parking area up CR 4. Come one, come all. It's going to be a blast. Free demo rides for everyone who shows up. So far it's Tim, and I and about 6 other riders. You'll be sad if you miss this one.

Thirsty anyone?...

Here's the 'creek' crossing which I like to think is more of a river. A few people made it across successfully, I wasn't one of them. Most of these pictures are of the more entertaining people who took a swim. Enjoy.

Great Group Ride

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a nice little ride last night! There were 10 of us out there riding up North Supply, South Supply, Middle Supply, Burn, etc... Fun stuff! Who knew there were even that many mtn bikers in this area! It was awesome. We are going to do a Monday night and Thursday night shop ride every week, starting next week. Meet here at the shop at 5:45 and be ready to leave by 6pm. Also, I lead a Ladies' only ride on Tuesdays and Thursday nights. Meet here at 5pm. So, last night involved a long climb, a creek crossing, and some loose rocky downhill rutted stuff. Here's the proof!

RIDE tonight!!

Hello All! We're getting a good group of people together tonight to ride the Supply trails (north, south, middle, etc...) Meet here (Grand Lake Sports) at 5:45 and we'll leave by 6pm. Otherwise, you can meet us at the trail head; go out CR 491 to basically the end and we'll be there by probably 6:15ish. Grab your bike and a buddy and ride. So far we've got about 5 people...good times will be had by all. The weather looks to be great tonight. Enjoy it while it lasts, the rest of the week might see some storms. Questions?? Post a comment, call, or e-mail us. See you on the dirt.
