February 2007 - Diary of Scott Morris

AZT

The weekend AZT event was quite fun. I joined the gate crew and helped Mark cut two fences (yes!) and install cowboy gates. I can’t believe I was party to making the AZT 300 course easier. Negotiating the many fences of the Cienega Corridor, at 2am after 100+ miles on the bike was a …. [Continue reading]

Unspoiled

I rode that singleswizzle thing hard, I guess. I’m hoping it didn’t set me back too far.

TMP

There was talk of rain all day, but it was just the usual paranoia. 48 and patchy sun as I left the house at 8a.

Nice crisp morning for pedaling through the university. Lee, Zach and I met up with the TMP trail crew in the parking lot. We left on bike, they left on …. [Continue reading]
