Singletrack!

The sun's been glorious in Vermont recently (let's
forget for a second that rain is rolling in today and
staying around for a while). A buddy and I got out to
the awesome trails at the Millstone Quarry the other
day to get some sweet early season singletrack shredding
in. Definitely check these trails out - you've got to
pay to play, but it's totally worth it.

Great views, fun ladder rides, berms, drops, techy ledges,
some sweet flowy sections. All around a good way to spend
the afternoon.

Last Run of the Year

One more weekend in the mountains, and one last run to wrap up the year. Beautiful clouds, near perfect corn snow, and great friends made it one of the best. With bike races coming up and the trails drying out it's time to transition...until next season.

A Skiing Roundup

The snow is rapidly disappearing here in New England, and there's finally some sun to dry out the trails. Which is a good thing, because I am well behind on the old training plan. Even though the legs feel good on the singlespeed rides and longer road cruises, I'm getting nervous about what will happen at the six hour mark at Mohican in a month. Still salvageable I think, but I need to get serious fast about this whole training thing. Not too serious though. Lots of time for a good ride today, skiing tomorrow, and some two-a-days next week should start getting me close. In the meantime, some fun shots from last weekend in NH; tomorrow's looking good as well, see you out there.
