Digging up old stuff

Looking through my old pictures, I remember my old GF Marlin. I actually miss this little HT.

See there is a Rocky Mountain in TeXaS

Son and I took off the Brushy Creek when he got out of school. We rode about 22 miles.
The RMB was pretty nice, slow as heck w/ the 2.3's and sucks to have 170mm crank arms.

I bet I can shave some weight by getting little bit smaller tires, maybe 2.1.
I'll be happy w/ that around here. :)

This past Sunday. Flat Rock Ranch

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Headed out w/ a group of friends from Bike Mojo. We went to Comfort, TX and rode out at Flat Rock Ranch. (more info http://www.flatrockranch.net/news.html ).
I have to say this is one heck of a trail and gave me a pretty good challenge. I loved the 10+ switch backs and it had plenty of drops and steep downhill. I was thankfull that it was cooler weather then expected then the help of the rain which made it much harder to roll over limestone rock. Also as you know, I have yet to see a trail smooth like Colorado, so IMHO this was another techinical trail.

I have to admit that I started cramping very bad @ about the 18 mile marker. Legs just didn't have it. I did complete the whole 26 miles, but it was not fun towards the end. I didn't have my GPS since it did take took a pooh on me last week, so off that went to Delorme. I did ask one of the fellow Mojo's and they comment that one of the climbs was over 7000'.

I meet the owner their; Jimmy. Talk about a cool guy! I highly recommned if you ever want to ride a pretty challenging trail, check out FRR!

Sorry about some of the bad pics, some was taking w/ a digital camera and some w/ the iPhone :)

I had to, just had to

~ Last year when I visited my Sail-N-Ski store they had this Rocky Mountain Slayer 50that was looking for a home. At the time the bike cost much more then what I expected to spend. Even though I liked riding it, I just could not justify affording it. So that was when I chose my Ibex.

Anyways, I went out yesterday to see what other RM's they had, POOF, the same Slayer 50 still sitting there! WOW!! What the heck, still sitting there and also $1K lower then last years price. Guess what I did?

Oh nevermind.... i'll let the picture tell ya. :)
