Ashland Loop

Evenslower, Foxy, Iron Man and I went for a Saturday morning ride.  It was a great day for a ride. 

Here we are waiting for Foxy to roll in...


Here we are waiting for Foxy to get some Gatorade...

Here we are waiting for Foxy to finish hydrating...

At least we never had to wait for Foxy on the road:)

Here are a couple of action shots of Evenslower and Iron Man...
It took us about 4 hours, but we finished with about 70 miles under our tires.  Thanks guys for such a great ride.  Let's do it again real soon!

Descending Amasa Back

Is there anything better than a 50 minute descent condensed into 18 minutes?  This is such a fun trail!!!

Climbing Amasa Back

We rented a Pivot Mach 429 for this ride.  This is a sweet ride.  Although climbing is not that much fun to watch, the scenery is.  You will see some crawlers, some beautiful views and some cliff exposures.

I used a chest cam for this ride and hind sight is 20/20.  Tuck in your camelback strap and water tube.  Too bad I did not realize this sooner.

Brandawg's 1st Mountain Bike Ride

There is nothing like sitting in a car for 12 hours then stepping out, getting on your bike and riding a trail for the first time.  This was BD's first real mountain bike trail.  We cannot count Miller's Meadow in Wichita. 

Kessel Run is a part of the Book Cliffs trail system.  It is all downhill, once you make it up the 2 mile climb, with loads of "S" turns and little rises and descents. 

Note to Mike:  This is my definition of "fast and flowy"!!!
