Oh the pain...

OK, so everyone (I mean everyone) is pestering my to get the pictures and videos from the latest biking trip.  Life has been a bit hectic with trying to into a move into a new home before and after the trip, and am just now getting to a place where the computer is up along with the wife not handing me a honey-do list longer than the weekend. 

To wet your appetite, Marcus put together a Mancation 6 trailer.  His skills go beyond the bike, and hope that he helps/assist me in creating the videos from the ride.

Additionally, you can catch our rides on Strava.com (user Bill Stokes), or through the gadget on the right hand side.

Kokopelli Loopiness

So, Kokopellis are not unique to Arizona, and Colorado has there own unique version.  I believe their verions means great biking trails around the Colorado River.



Our first ride after being the truck for 9 hours was at the Kokopelli Park, and took advantage of Mary's Loop, Horse Thief Trail and some of Lions Back.  These are incredible trails to ride after being shut in for so long, and get the legs ready for whats to come.  I forget how grand the scenery is when riding the mesa ridge around the river, and often am rubbernecking instead of watching the trail ahead.  The sunsetting cut our ride short, and weren't able to the Moore Fun...which is anything but.  Well, maybe we will save that for when Greg re-joins Mancation in a few years.
 

As is customary, we ended the ride with a trip over to Hot Tomato for a little Thai Me Up pizza.  This place is seriously one of the best pizza places in the world, and hate that is about 10hours away from me.  However, when in Fruita I try to overcompensate through gluttony.

Can't edit the videos while on the road, and will update the blog soon after we return.

Been too long...

Hey family, friends and followers!  This year's annual bike trip will commence in a few short hours.  Yes, I have been negligent in keeping this blog updated with the weekly rides along with other shenanigans.  So, I am going to blog this year's bike trip, and hopefully jump start me to update more frequently.

Well, I am off to bed before the 10hour drive to Fruita, and the first ride at the Kokopelli trails.  Type at ya all soon...
