The Original Grower: 64 Fluid Miles in and around Gunnison Colorado Holy Smokes. I completed the Full Growler last year, but I obviously forgot how tough the course really is. The actual race was about 61.2 miles and 9600 feet of vertical. Nuts! The start consisted of a 4.1 mile ride from main… Read More The 2010 Original Growler – Race Review
What a ride! I’m now one serious fan of the trails up at Cochiti I can’t wait to tackle the three loops next year. I may not make it, but I’ll try – now that I know where I am going and have an idea of the required pace. As insurance – I’ll take a… Read More Cochiti 100. Ok, Cochiti 67.62 for Someone Named Judd
A 24 hour race in New Mexico? In June? Are you crazy? Nope. It’s a perfect idea and the 24 Hours of the Enchanted Forest is in the perfect location – The Zuni Mountains, southeast of Gallup. I rode the 16.1 mile track on Saturday, May 15th and Sunday, May 23rd. It’s sweet. Better yet,… Read More 24 Hours in the Enchanted Forest: Course Data & Video
Check it out. I’m busy right now, so I can’t provide much commentary. Check out the post below for the gps data, because DATA is KING. A few suggestions: 1) If the motion in the video gets to you – close your eyes and enjoy the music. 2) If the music gets to you –… Read More 12 Hours of Mesa Verde: The Video
One word: DISASTER! That is the only word required to explain the Back of the Pack performance at 12 Hours of Mesa Verde. It was a great race, but a very ugly performance by the team. I have sweet helmet cam action of Lap 1. Check back in a few days for the ‘B.P.R. Production’.… Read More 12 Hours of Mesa Verde: Race Review
It’s almost show time. Bike are ready. B.P.R. Racers ready? We’ll know after 50 miles.
Let’s just say “Mountain Lions”. Yeah. Forget I even said Cougar. So, the lone single speeder must be very careful on these trails. The mountain lions, bears, coyotes, wolfs and even a Cougar or two are out there, waiting, lurking, ready to devour the exhausted single speeder. Below is a map of the B.P.R. rides… Read More Cedro: The B.P.R. Spring / Summer Training Arena
Evolution is a dicey subject. If you want to get me going, ask me about evolution. I may never shut up, you will be taking a risk by asking the question. AND My opinions may surprise you. Us Back of the Pack racers may argue about evolution (Why? I’m always right.) but we will not… Read More The Evolution of a Single Speeder
Well, I like messing around with video. Why? Because I have this dream of integrating GPS data, video, and Google Earth maps. Once I do this I intend to create a wicked website of all the data / video products of races & rides in the GREAT SOUTHWEST. (Who isn’t interested in the course profile,… Read More Dawn til Dusk, 2010: Course Inspection
Awesome, awesome race. The Dawn Til Dusk crew pulled through and put on an amazing event. I don’t care what anybody east of the Mississippi says. Gallup is a bitchin’ place. The trails in Gallup are bitchin’. The mountain bike crowd in Gallup is one of a kind. The mountain bike experience in the Land… Read More Dawn Til Dusk, 2010: Back of the Pack Race Review
