Awesomeness

A really cool gal at my WFR training gave me this:

She worked the event as parking lot staff.  I think this shirt deserves a frame.

Diving into Hermosa

Katri and I got a nice ride in on Sunday on Hermosa Creek Trail. We made it 10 miles in - no snow and totally dry. I'm curious how far the dry trail goes. Anyway, it was gorgeous - high 60's and the trail was deserted. No one thinks it's open yet!

Can you believe some knucklehead sent the wrong Illustrator file to the graphics guy that had .com instead of .net? ;) Hey, I'm HUMAN!!!

Trailwork 2008 Kicks Off

I've been back from Estonia and Switzerland since April 21st, but I haven't found the energy to blog. Too much to do getting Hermosa Tours ready. The good news is that I returned to dry trails that keep getting drier. I'd say Durango has over 50 miles of "town" singletrack open at this point if not more.

Last night kicked off Trails 2000's first trail day. We worked on Big Canyon Trail; clearing the brush and armoring quite a few muddy creek crossings. Here's a video from the Durango Herald (I'm in the bright yellow, "Go Phloyd" t-shirt...which I wear to get muddy in honor of Landosterone):
