No brakes
Some folks hiked their bikes up Mt. Elbert, highest point in CO, and one had mechanical issues on the descent, resulting in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TBTwar3fy4 Ouch. The unlucky guy made it out under his own power. MTBR thread here.

Summer Vacation, #2
Just back, and much moreso than usual I’m racing to catch up. Life is too short, and I wished we had a week to do the drive home from Crested Butte yesterday. Vacations are supposed to be not only resorative, but give you perspective on home. Metaphysically, of course. Things started difficulty, with a bouldering…

Velonews has something interesting to say?! Apparently; We were talking at breakfast this morning and commiserating for the poor guys who he landed on. Fabian went over the top like Walter Payton into the end zone, landing his big 86-kilo Swiss cheese ass on top of all of those tiny little men. The Swiss bear…

I’m on a running kick today, to augment my “I did all my paperwork yesterday and am antsy as hell for it to be this time tomorrow so I can LEAVE” kick of messing around on the net at work. Check this out. 7:37 for Rim-Rim-Rim. SICK!

It’s funny to read about him climbing 5.12 on big mountains these days, as 6 years ago he could barely climb 5.10. Always stoked, whether it was about bouldering in the gym, drinking whiskey, or extreme sledding…

Evening
I’m full of ideas today, and none sadder than this: our country is being damaged in ways that may not be fully repaired in my lifetime. I read Ed’s post this morning, then driving in heard this story on NPR. Beyond the obvious problems with the sitting president, the failure of the new Congress is…

Phoenix Endurance Experience 11.17.2007 An urban selfsupported adventure from the mind of Yuri B. I know jack about Phx, but I did ride the McDowell’s Quadruple Bypass this winter. Big climbs, big descents, big feel for being so close to lots of people. It should be a cool contrast with riding through the city itself.…

The Roof of AZ
M avoiding the camera by pretending to look in her pack. Note huge Aspen. One of the many XXL alpine Columbine we saw. The RT 25 doin’ its thang on the summit, looking NE towards Navajo country. Looking NW towards the big ditch. The Kaibab rises faintly in the distance. I am not Chris Plesko.…
