Biking with clipless pedals, and biking shoes without cleats is hard. My feet were slipping all over the place. Oh well, it was still a great ride, even if I couldn't do technical climbs and I didn't get a GPS record of the ride.

No cleats, no GPS
Finally got out mountain biking again. The trail was completely dry. It was sunny and warm, almost too warm. The problem is that it has been so long since I have been mountain biking that I was missing some essentials, shoes, and GPS. Fortunately I had an extra pair of biking shoes in my office, unfortunately they didn't have cleats in them.

Morning Fog
Just as things were starting to dry out a bit, it rained last night. I guess it is better than snow because it drys up quicker. I keep hoping that the trail will have dried up enough to get some mountain biking in. Road biking is nice, and it helps keep you in shape, but it just not the same as mountain biking.
After the rain there was fog. This isn't the greatest picture but it is the best that I got this morning. There were some great scenes of fog over the valley, but all I had available for those was my little Olympus camera, which just didn't do a good job of capturing the image.

A trip up hobble creek
We rode up hobble creek canyon today.
It is fun drafting downhill, but I think when I was pulling downhill it was more work than pulling uphill was. If motionbased would fix their view port then I would add it here, but it is a bit too much work to add the picture and make it work right and I am feeling lazy tonight. So here is a link to the ride

Not much riding
I managed to get a few rides in this month but they have been on the road so there is not much to write about. However, there have been a few beautiful sunrises lately and I wanted to add this one to my blog. So here it is, sunrise on Feb 18 from my front door.

Slate Canyon is Open!
The trail up Slate Canyon is finally open again. They smoothed out the road making it so that it isn't technically difficult anymore. However there is snow on the trail which makes it more demanding. Yesterday's trip up the Canyon was as hard as any ride I have done.
