Brooke and Micki...................Steve was also kind enough to slow down for this shot. Thx
These two get around........in the blog sense!
Not too much going on here, just trying to do as much biking as possible before the weather turns inhospitable and won't allow us to come out to play. We missed out on a fun trip to Phil's World and Durango Colorado a couple of weeks ago, but that's ok, there is still plenty of destinations we still have to do and we shall add that to the list.
This past weekend we rode in Phoenix on trail #100 up North in our old stomping grounds and had the pleasure of riding some demo bikes from Pivot that Micki had scored. The Mach 5's are very "plush" compared our bikes. My bike is going on 6 years old and technology has come along way indeed. I could be in the market for a "new" bike if I could bring myself to spend that kind of money...$$$$$. There's only a couple bikes that catch my eye these days....most look over engineered or miss the whole concept of what a bike should be and what riding is all about. That is where single speeds come into play. So easy, so simple. 1 gear, no clutter, just spin and you're in. Biking back to it's roots.
Sticki went to Interbike and took some pics of all the new concepts and products. Wow, a lot of new ideas and innovation out there. What's next? Check it out.
On Saturday we headed out with Millikin, Jason Kelly and the 2 of us for some fun around the Thumb Butte area, Millikin just got a new 20 tooth cog for his SS and new set of Kenda Nevegals, he was very excited. The only downside, he didn't go UST or otherwise known as Tubeless.....Booooooooo!!! and it's not even Halloween. We hit a newly cut trail, #317, here is a section from up top featuring Jason and Brooke.....Jason is a "roadie" or "twinkie boy" if you will. That is why his wheelie is lame. I kid...I kid....!!! sheesh!
It's kinda choppy in some sections, but once it gets some more traffic on it, it'll be a nice addition to the trail system in Prescott. It parallels #316 at the bottom of the creek bed. You get to #317 from the main parking area at the bottom of Thumb Butte and is at the intersection of #314#315#316 and now #317.
