Bike 5 on the trail, originally uploaded by Xvelo Designs.

So pedaled about 9.5 miles connect.garmin.com/activity/121836645# on the new bike at Elk Meadows today, i cant believe how well this bike rides for a design of my own. Hell maybe i actually know something about bikes…who knows?
Bike performed wicked, motor, not so much. Lungs tired, legs felt good, knee was unfreaking bearable. It’ll be X-ray tomorrow and hopfully not the Ortho next but probably based on the recurrent pain. So, i’ll get them to cutting and slicing as quick as i can so i can have some days on snow before it’s time to ride again next year. All for now…

Cheers

Been putting in some crazy long hours at the thing that pays the bills leaving no time for life. Good thing i don’t mind my job…
On the side i’ve been soldering and putting parts on a new 29er frame. After Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day, I’ve been stoked to ride so a new bike will help fuel that fire. I’m planning on getting 20-30 off-road miles on this rig this weekend, with my crap-ass knee, so we’ll see how that goes.
Ride Fast, Take Chances….

Cheers

Because we know how important they think they are…Funny shit…

‘s what’s for dinner, we ate this guy roasted with some white beans in a tortilla along side some fresh baked bread this evening,…Twas delicious
I ended up with one of my favorite lenses this weekend, a 35-70 Nikon 2.8D and it has made photos actually fun again.

Nothing much going on now so posting pics of tomatoes…

Riding in the Take a Kid Mountain Biking day at Bear Creek Lake Park on Saturday, Margot is stoked as I am. Other than that, i’m off the bike until someone smarter than I tells me what the F*&! is wrong with my knee.

All for now,

Cheers

M pulled some wicked good tomatoes out of the garden tonight and decided they would be best spent with some garlic and basil from the same place along with some good mozz and her own crust. It was freaking delicious!
