Not long ago it was June and I was leaving Tucson for the summer months.  Four months later and I’m now back after having an awesome experience in Wisconsin.   Friday was a pre-dawn departure from Madison with a post-dusk arrival to Colorado Springs.  Saturday’s ride made the long hours in the car worth the while. Brian and I got out for 4.5 hours of MTB action. Two hours of dirt road climbing was followed by some of the best singletracks I’ve ridden. This ride was a favorite of my personal ’stash’  from ‘05 so after three years away I was happy to be able to recall the trails so we could make the loop happen as it did. Brian agreed that it was one of epic proportion. He even got a good digger when I had the camera out…

Perfect weather, golden aspens, tacky soils, and fun bikes made the ride incredible. I’m jealous of Brian’s backyard, enough so that I’m tempted to plan my move to Colorado’s Front Range.

Before that happens, life in Tucson takes off once again.  I finished the drive on Sunday and was greeted with a pleasantly cool evening in the desert.  I’ve been on Lemmon twice already this week and it’s nice to be getting back into the local scene. Great friends and good riding can make this place very attractive. I’m looking forward to the weekend and the chance for some big MTB adventures.  Stay tuned for the details. Enjoy the riding!  -TJ
