Was in a dream

single track soundtrack of life

Cochiti Sunday

Nice Sunday ride with Tim .
Tim looking over and wanting to ride the other side to the crashed airplane.

The road turned to a stream as we climbed our way up Bland .

Something is strange about the Jemez mtns.  I almost always get turned around because of going the wrong way. Can you say VORTEX.

on top of the mesa in search of the Frijoles trail.

aka killer switchbacks

Tim cleaning the swithbacks which is no easything .

I spotted this Hop tree

and a Mock orange on the ride.

Later my Friends

Boulderdash

Put 500,000 thousand people in a town built to accommodate 50,000 and Wallah you have Boulder,Colorado.Not much in the scene for mountain biking compared to home but we were able to find dirt to ride.

Parking lot @ white Ranch

Riding in a mist sometimes the visibility got pretty low.

Bill coming around the corner on The Long Trail.

Tim and Bill waiting for yours truly before we continue up Belcher Hill,what a grind.

Western sand cherry blooms framing a wood nymph statue in the garden at work.

Golden currents blooming.

Tim enjoying himself.

Rototilling  the veggie garden at home this weekend and putting up the fence to keep the critters out. .I'll be sure to post up some pictures next write up.

The End

My Friend Tim

A little tribute to my Blog mentor Tim B. Wise aka Tdub founder and creator of I HEART SINGLE SPEED.  One of the nicest guys you'll ever know ,hell of a good bike rider,and family man.

Laughing @ the steeps and saying Bring it on.

on the ride ,He  hangs with fast Bill from Boulder.

can read maps,remembering the map he just read is another story.

Never afraid to let it hang out

Rock on, Tim

Nice Temps.

If my words could flow...

Run off backside of Dorthy Stewart trail.

Got a ride in with Matt and Tim on the Dale Ball's trail the other day.Nice flowing single track can put me in good spirits.

 get ready to roll.

Some sweet trail.

Nice views of Santa Fe too.

inorganic sky.

You know the chem. trails produced by aircraft.One day I heard this whole dialogue on how nothing can be grown or labeled organic as long as we have planes polluting the skies . You be the judge ,

You may ask ,what's in my audio player or you may not? The answer  HOLY FUCK at least check them out.

Early Flowers

 Blue flower,hahaha, keeping the names simple

white with pink hue flower

Only 7 more bikes to be built then its my turn. Having a new bike built this year is a little bitter sweet. In what way? Well, let me tell ya. My body is playing on a different level than my mind . Growing old can be painful with a beaten down body. And with the anticipation of obtaining a dream come true my body seems to be rebelling and going in the opposite direction of a happy cyclist about to receive a custom frame.Not to mention it costs more than a 6 month vacation to the Maldives.Hey,priorities I can surf the Maldives next year.

green leaves

Very cool weather in the morning ,still getting down to the 20's F @ night,too cold for fruit blossoms.Unfortunately this probably means another year without apricots.

Scratch and sniff your screen.

ohh that smell is a cure all.

In a couple of weeks the scent of lilacs will fill the air.

I'm going to take some time to sit and contemplate, hope y'all have the same opportunity .

Peace out with a little Augustus Pablo. Cassava sessions, "The cassava plant will talk to you if you know how to listen."  Bruce Hill, Maui 1996.

Spring time

and I need replace last years help. Its not a job for just anyone the suit has to fit,you know,like Johnny Bravo. I kind of imagine the Burley's  had the Johnny Bravo discussion with their son. Apparently he's out exploring or sowing oats in other pastures. or He's out on a world tour ...That's what I told them at the house when they asked about Isaac.

or maybe he has become an au pair for Evil Dominic

Looking forward to riding with friends and having a fun filled cycling season.
