Night Riding this Summer
I want to get in more night riding this summer. I am talking about moutain biking of course. Last year I bought a nice dual light that worked great back in Oct. when I rode on the Spooky Ride. Now that was a fun time! But this year my mission is to get in some night riding out at Center Trail. I have no excuses now that I have a light worthy of some juicy trail riding. I will probably start on the hillside trail for a few trips. Just to get used to it. Hillside is much easier to get out of if I need to. But I was looking for an extra light to put on my helmet. I decided to look at some...

The DD07 was on Saturday. This was my first official mt. bike race at the ripe old age of 39. I really did not know what to expect on my ability to ride, run, ride for a total of 17 miles.

My commute to work is only measly 1.6 miles and it is not much fun. I have been biking this week to work to beat the crazy gas prices and need something a little more fun on the ride so I came up with this fine and dandy rout. Use the map and zoom in to see the little fun parts of this ride as I go out of my way to cut through the apartment complexes. Also check out the overpass loop-d-loop. Click on the icons for more details. Maybe tomorrow I will snap some pictures while I am rollin’ and post them to the...

Wow, what a busy weekend. Saturday morning I went out to the Banner trails for the second work day this fall. We made great progress on the trails up to the bridge. I would say they are ridable and could use some tread on them. It is going to be some tasty riding out there when it is all said and done. I took Noah out with me and he had a blast working on the trails. But he mostly ran around building traps and scouting out the woods. When we were all done he said, “I could do this every weekend”. Here are a few photos that Justin took. Saturday night was the Spooky Woods...
