Off-Season

Posted in Training with tags on October 28, 2009 by VH1

I don’t know if it is bike burn-out or what, but over the past month I have tried a bunch of activities that I have seriously neglected for the past few years. I forgot how much fun trail running, hiking, camping, deer hunting, and racquetball is.  My off-season this year will be to do everything I can to not ride the trainer.

Who knows maybe this week I will start fly-fishing and duck hunting again?  Is it wrong to look forward to Mormon church ball?

On another note, Dug the skis are waxed and ready to go

Go Ride Jamie’s Junk

Posted in Uncategorized on October 13, 2009 by VH1

If you haven’t been on Jamie’s Junk head up to Corner Canyon and give it a go.

Here is an email I received from Jamie on Saturday

Everyone,
We had a great scout group and some other volunteers and trail bosses
out working on the trail today and got a lot accomplished.  I am
happy to report that the first two phases of  the trail are ready to
ride.  It totals 2 miles and drops you out on the old pipeline road
about 1/2 way down the canyon.  From there, you can just take a right
and head down the old road and around a couple of switchbacks and can
jump on Ghost Falls South by the 2 new bridges.  It’s a great loop and
a lot of fun.

We have all of phase 3 flagged, and part of phase 4 so we have more to
do, but it’s great to get a payoff for all the work that’s been done
so far.  We really need people to ride it and help us to pack it down
and get it “dialed in” so spread the word and let’s get some people up
there riding it.

Thanks for all of you who’ve helped construct these first two phases,
it looks great.  For those of you still looking to join us and help on
the next sections, I’ll keep you posted of trail work days on the
calendar.  Because of the Scout groups, we usually do Saturdays, but
we’ve gotten requests for other days, or evenings, so let me know if
you want to do another day and we’ll try to make it work.

Thanks,
Jamie
