• Seeing that everyone was busy with exchanging presents and egg nog consumption, Matt and I decided to ride White Mesa. As we suspected the parking lot was empty and we had the whole place to ourselves for an hour before people started rolling in. The temps were {warm mid 50's} perfect and with all the moisture evaporating on the ground & sodium deposits in the soil it smelled like the ocean and my next vacation.

Great trail conditions.

Views .

Most of the trails follow the ridge line which makes it a blast to ride.

What the hell is that? I had to check my lenses .

Cabezon in the background.

Matt going down.

Times are tough

This christmas has been tough . I had to take to the streets and make some money. Hope yours isn't as desperate.

All New Oprah

I heart Oprah.

As our world turns

My latest short

Filmed Issac at La Tierra on Saturday afternoon and then added  POV from my ride on Atalaya that I did the day before.  Found some dub-step that fit the sun lasers which made it fun to do the editing. Kind of reminds me of a movie from the '80's , Liquid Sky.

Glory eta in December

Nice ride up Glorieta Baldy and then descending apache canyon and eventually popping out on old Santa Fe trail via the Santa Fe secret trail. Unseasonable warmth has lingered through December in the region.

Issac,Anthony,Tim climbing up the road.

Then peaking at Glorieta tower.

or in black and white

some shenanigans 

Then it was time to descend

Tim on the Apache Canyon side of the mountain.

Views are great while going down to Santa Fe.

a short break along the secret trail.

Was a great day to hang with friends and get in a few hours of riding.

Few months ago

I took a ride with Tom and Bill up Pacheco Canyon road over to Borrego  trail leading us to Nambe/R. viejo loop earlier this year.  Had a great time riding with these guys that day.

Here you go Bill your much requested post about this ride. Now, don't say I never try to accommodate.

When the going turns sucky , QUIT

Ever feel like punching someone and realize that it would make you feel pretty bad to see him bleed.

more time to do weird shit.

Delinquent and deteriorating

Oprah Alert

The most influential person in the world.  And ,if you see this Oprah,how about a job with great perks for little ol' me.?

The Bills won-8

So I'm really pissed that the Bills won . I was hoping for a defeated season, when was the last time that happened. They really need a QB along with HC {thats head coach}, and fire the recruiting staff  while your at it. Enough about repressed gay men on TV every day. Take a little time and ride your bike .

No Emotion

The whole objective was to make a one minute film for editing class,
{first project}. My vision was to to make it fast pace between scenes so no emotional response is provoked in the viewer. This is a practice in breaking the rules of film making I am fascinated with.

My Monday was different this week

After working 31hours as the Key Grip on a student film "Fetching" to get my intern hours, I decided to take a day for myself and do a ride to catch some leaf color. It looks like it paid off, Aspens were peaking with color.

Being so busy with school {15 credits} and working to pay the bills every chance on the bike is a welcomed one

Another shot of Matt on Aspen vista road.

My ride that I love so much.

Bezerko

Another great ride with Donavanstein climbing Pacheco Canyon Rd. and dropping down Borrego trail at Aspen Ranch and then descending Rio en Medio trail and back to car. Summer days are numbered and I want to get in as many high altitude rides in as possible before I have to resort back to the desert trails. Fiestas started this weekend and Zozobra burns on Thursday night, all the fucking ass holes come out for that shit giving them the excuse to become drunk , hostile and violent in public.










Some shots from our ride.

Some Fucking garbage , left by someone with no respect ...

I guess with the legalization for medical purposes the Forest service had to modify there sign.

Everybody needs an Angel

East Fork

Tim and Lazer never been on the East Fork trail and there were warm springs to be soaked in so with a little stretch of the true trail mileage it was easy convincing them. On the drive over I told them at least a 30 miler was in store for us with a dip in a natural warm spring...Sweet was the reply. In reality its a short ride but at least theres some dipping to be done at the turn around point. Lazer taking a look and finding out the real milage.

Some really pretty single track in the Jemez mountains.

Lazer and Tim B Wise on the trail.

Over looking the over look.

Nice view to adjust your head set.

I didn't take any shots of the springs cause I completly spaced it out.

School's in on Monday morning bright and early with film editing . Big change in life about to begin balancing school,work and riding. Some Band of Horses for ya ears.
