2011 Ride #36

View Larger Map

Blew out my rear tire, and my spare wasn’t doing a great job of holding air either … so now my apartment smells of Mastik One, and my hands are blackened. I also only have two tires left in my stash, so it is time to start saving for a purchase, or [...]

2010 Ride #29 (the bad karma ride?)

CX’ing on CX’es in Parley’s

Crossed the new bridge across I-215 at the north end of Wasatch, right by the entrance to Parley’s Canyon … didn’t realize it dead-ended in gravel in the gully on Parley’s Trail … so did a little impromptu CX’ing on my Vittoria CX tubbies … thankfully no flats.

Ran into A-Train, the Tri-Geek and [...]
