The mountains are yours to enjoy. The morning was spent mountain biking the still frozen foothills trails and it was a great ride with plenty of solitude. Later that afternoon, we made our way to the top of the mountain and hit the South Crest Trail. We cut tracks through fresh powder for several hours and didn’t see a soul. You have to love a place where you can do all this in a day, never being more than a handful of miles from home.

a great time to be quiet with my thoughts on the mountain.

When work takes you to see the types of things we attempt to manage in spite of ourselves, it’s a great day. This pretty wetland is located on the BDA where they are doing some great work.

For anyone wondering what it looks like around Oak Flats in early 2012.

The past couple of storms that rolled through have left the trails in a state that they are better left alone. The road bike is a great option though, if not indulging in the snow sports available now. I was able to get some nice climbing done in the neighborhood on Christmas morning before the family festivities commenced. It was a joy to be out on a glorious morning with the great gospel sound of the New Mexico Mass Choir playing in my head from the evening prior. What a great morning.

Happy New Year everyone!

What is it about putting down that first track that is so appealing? Skiers, hikers, runners, bikers, all know that feeling.

The single speed will be getting some love this winter. Been a while.

snow, flow

The first accumulation of snow in the foothills since last winter. Just the right amount to make the trails grip and flow. Good to see all the die-hard mountain bikers enjoying the morning. Always fun to lay down some first tracks.

a wise man,

fears no rocks. An excellent ride at Cedro with Tim, Anthony, Matt, and Tony on Sunday. Strong riders. Felt like a spring day out there. Look forward to getting back out there soon!
