Married life of a mountain biker true story snippet: ......



Crested Butte riding rocked too!



Thanx for the pics!
Yep, north of town we were! Your story reminds me of a three week odyssey I did after college. Lots riding and camping out west with two bikes & my Jeep. Hung out with various friends along the way, it was a truly wonderful time! I rode the Front Range, Crested Butte, Durango, Moab & Fruita along the way. Ahhh the memories

Crusty Butt does rule! Planning a trip there pretty soon as a matter of fact!

Umm...without quoting my exact total lets say something of that nature runs between 4-5k. Worth every penny too!

I'm looking to get a new KHS this year. Houston has just a few decent trails, but nothing like you guys have, Rocky Mountains and all. Nice riding.
Good to hear you are racing! I am trying hard to get back to it again this year. Some of my best memories were from the racing days. Have fun!

Nice! Never ridden in SC, but would love to. I have done some nice east coast riding, but sure would like to get down to NC/SC sometime. All these Colorado folks would have a hard time in the mud & roots out there!

Its great that there are so many JC ridres! If any of ya'll make it out to Colorado sometime give me a shout. I would be happy to show you some local trails. And maybe even a few of the top secret ones too
