This was my XC bike last year.  I rode it a bit more than half the time, and since I ran a lot of my own parts, it’s pretty minty right now.

First Real Climb of the Season

Time to see if all the skiing this winter kept me fresh for the dirt.  I’m waiting on new bikes right now, but some random rep left this carbon thing with big hoops and a scary paint job lying around the shop, so I grabbed that for a ride today.

That paint must have inspired this guy.  Lots of people hanging around out there today.

There’s a new line up to Rock Oven that Jamie Johnson built called shin Skinner that Vance led the charge on today.

It’s tough in spots, but oh so worth it…

…even if Foot was feelin’ it in places he might have forgotten about over the winter.

Winter, meet summer.

OK, now pull back really fast for a huge rush.

And Jens gets some exposure. 

As usual these days, not much stopping on the descent.  We did the climb in a little over an hour, and the descent in about 20 minutes.

Plus another hour or so of hanging out with beers.  Another great Sunday ride in the books.
