Chad Brown, the man is a genius. Who else could dream up the Tuesday Techy Taco ride?
Look how green it is down there!
Who else could lead us onto a trail that’s so steep and loose, it’s ludicrous.
There’s Duncan climbing Suthers. You really have to be there, getting thrown around, to appreciate how relentlessly rocky it is. The human mind simply fails to record or process the experience.
Good try! Note Chad’s knowing and semi-evil grin. The Techy Taco ride strikes again!
Freeride a bit to start Baby J.
Fishies are still in the trough, and the pipe had such flow you could have sprayed the thickest mud off your bike with it.
Green swamps and slick rock.
Water crossings a-plenty.

Micro-hucks, too! Wheeee!
Wispy clouds and perfectly manicured golf-course-like grass. Spring fast approacheth!
Duncan’s a solid rider.
The great thing about perfection is that it’s a wholly human construct. I’m a human too, last time I checked. So I am free to create my own definition of what it is. I’m also free to let it evolve over time.
This evening it was watching the sun turn orange while zipping down a trail I know by heart. Feeling the strength in my legs and the warm air on my skin. The quiet of the night.
Chasing my friends down the ridgeline by handelbar light, and being chased by bats just the same. Expecting the temperature to drop, but instead finding nothing but blissfully warm air.
Scarfing a plate full of tacos and laughing with friends. Then driving home with stereo nearly blowing out the speakers.
My perfection — today, now. I’ll take it.
OMWord. I want those tacos. Please?!
alright, that’s ffin’ IT.
we’re moving down next late-fall.
