Just got back from a short backpacking trip to the Chiricahua Mountains. The warmup for Frank Church continues, and this was a very good trip. The thing that struck me most was how easy the trails were to hike on, even with packs. I guess I’ve been doing too many hikes in the front range …. [Continue reading] Trip 2. First ride – short one between boy scout camps and then the traditional ‘warmup ride.’ Next day – Did a shortened version of the loop I cut my face open on (avoiding the lower section of trail where I crashed, though it isn’t tough).

The work was fun and a stark contrast to working on desert trails. I spent the first part searching and hauling large rocks while others of the crew sent giant ones …. [Continue reading] We’re back from our trip to an Arizona Sky Island. The temperatures were cool–even cold at night. The riding was even cooler–spectacular in fact. We went for a short, ~2 hour ride in the evening upon our arrival. No one else was out there. The next morning we got off early and headed ….
