Toasting In The Shortweek! T.I.T.S. Ride
Yesterday was Thursday and for us that means it was T.I.T.S. ride night! I haven’t been out with this group in quite a while, so I was pumped to ride. We rode from Ironworks, of course, and then hit up Green Mountain.

Angel Fire to Taos: South Boundary Trail
SBT = South Boundary Trail The SBT is an incredible trail ride that I’ve been trying to do for three years or so now and I finally got to do it this past weekend during our trip to Angel Fire, NM. The South Boundary trail is a 20-30 miles, depending on who you talk to…

Night Skiing
Yesterday, right after work we met up with some friends and carpooled up to Loveland to get a little skinning practice, exercise, and skiing in. Snow was falling (win!), coverage was the best I’ve seen it yet (win!), and it was actually kind of deep in some areas near the top (win!). Despite the fact that it…

T.I.T.S. Ride: Mother Effing Cold
Today is Friday, so yesterday was Thursday, and that means night riding on Green Mountain. It was barely 20*F, which I knew might be past my limit for riding, at night, in the winter, but I gave it a go anyhow. I was encouraged a bit when some of the guys commented that it was “frigid out,”…

Ski Days 6 & 7 @ Loveland
It is still a while before the season really kicks into high gear, but skiing two days in a row is definitely helping me get my legs ready for long hard days on the planks. We only planned on skiing on Saturday, but ended up heading to Loveland again on Sunday for a demo day put on…

T-Gives Trail Riding
Normally we head to the hills on Thanksgiving morning to make some turns before we stuff our faces full of turkey, but this year, it was nearly 70 degrees in the Front Range and the trails were calling our name. We hit a loop from Wrigley’s, up Dakota, to Red Rocks, Matthews Winters, and then…

My Return to T.I.T.S. Riding
A couple of winters ago we started going for mountain bike rides on Thursday’s at night. This guy was one of ring leaders and has become the unofficial CEO of the T.I.T.S. crew. They were affectionately dubbed T.I.T.S rides, which originally meant, Today Is Thursday, Sweet. Throughout the season we would name each ride something…

Arapahoe Basin Opening Day 2011-12
Thursday was my second opening day for a ski area in under one week. Pretty sweet to able to check out the first two openings in the state, I have only ever attended one opening day prior to this year. Traditionally, here in Colorado Arapahoe Basin or Loveland are the first to open, and when…

Opening Day 2011-12: Wolf Creek
My alarm was set for an usually early hour for a Saturday morning, but it wasn’t the sound of my alarm that woke me up, but rather cheers and excited chatter in the hallway. In my half-sleep, from my unfamiliar bed in room 202, I couldn’t really make out what they were saying, but I…

“It’s all totally rideable, bro.” – A high country adventure
Yeah, so kind of at the last minute I joined Mike, Aaron, Andy and Shane for a little jaunt through Colorado’s high country. I’ve heard for a long while that Mike has a’likin’ for some SRSLY big-ass death-march hike-a-bike style high country rides and have wanted to join him on one for a while now,…

Turns Out You Can Ride Every Trail at SolVista in 2 hours :: A Suckerpunch Race Report
So today was the Suckerpunch race at SolVista Bike Park, which I had no intentions of actually racing this year. It’s a first time event, and I know the guys at SolVista but just was into being chill this weekend and getting on the DH bike in a non-competitive setting. The format was intriguing though:…

¿Tu sabes yo soy loco?
I booked a mountain bike ride with EcoRide in Puerto Vallarta for a little two-wheeled happy fun time action while I am here on vacation with the family. Turns out, being a gravity junkie, I made the right choice of the three main mountain bike outfitters here in town! Rogelio set me up with a guide named…
