That a Flying Pigs breakfast, scotty?
Good guess but no. This is a typical breakfast at "World Domination Headquarters", code name condo.Quote:

A little bit bouncy...
Strangely, I hadn't t contributed to this thread before. Here's some from the last month:
Two Elks, somewhere between Vail Pass and Minturn

The Famous Back Bowls of Vail - flat and snowless
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/Other/Sum.../MG0015-XL.jpg
...But super fun nonetheless

Closer to Minturn

Over Kenosha Pass

Georgia Pass - minutes before the most shit-eating-grinningest-fun downhill I've done in a long time

Pictures aren't nearly as nice as BKs, but Georgia down to Swan River is damn good.

Kenosha to Georgia to Swan in the fall is even better

yes, yes you do. It's part of the Colorado Trail, between Kenosha Pass and Breckenridge. Some outrageous downhills, great singletrack for miles and miles and miles, and on the Kenosha Pass side, some insane aspens when the leaves are changing.Quote:

one of my favorites. but damn, that was a fully forested downhill the last time I rode it. :(Quote:

The ~500-700' of climbing at the very end of the ride (where I believe Temagami's last 2 pics were taken) were brutal. So far the highlight of my biking season.Quote:

Hit up Diablow two Mondays in a row, not many pics. I'm not a dropping fool - finally managed to do the porch, flume, and smaller pipeline drops. All super smoothe, and left me feeling super wussy for having avoided them for so long.
Eli on the Flume drop.

Managed this on BMW, which ended my day. One of the new WTB FR tubeless ready rim shapped things is on the way to replace.

sent in the dh fork for a much needed rebuild so out with the pedaly bike. 3 distinctly different rides
https://vimeo.com/47346471
inspired by the "i suck at jumping/dh'ing threads", i picked up the book recommended in the thread...lopes/mccormack's "mastering mountain bike skills"
most of you will scoff, but at age 40 (almost 41), i just learned to wheelie today! [well, at least since i was 12...]
