Got some quality fall rides in recently. Also been hitting up some great rides after work. Had some fun up on the Borrego Big T ride after work one night with Anthony while we still had sunlight for the whole ride but just enough. You could tell time was short.

One of my favorite places to ride here in New Mexico has got to be Cochiti. Blasted a quick Bland to medio dia canyon to del norte canyon up to the camper and onward to killer switchbacks back down medio dia.
sidpa bardo? looking back on a day well spent
Made it to Taos for one more South Boundary ride in 2010. I doubt I will make it back there again before it is unridable. Went with Ben and Matt from work. No action shots but some nice landscapes This was Ben's first ride up there.
Ben's ride for the day
Ohh man, I have to say the best fish tacos in New Mexico are from Guadalajara
What's in your audio player? The new Avey Tare has been stuck in mine for quite some time. Also I have been digging the new Arcade Fire. I liked Spike Jonzes video he did for them as well
Was digging around the garage looking for a match when I came across this, one of my favorite tapes back in the day. 92 I think. I would listen to this tape sooo much. Flipping that bitch over and over. I still think this is the Beastie Boys best album. Dust brothers definitely helped the Beasties step it up from Licensed To Ill.
I Was dropping my mom off at the airport and thought that that would be a fantastic time to hit some dirt down in Albuquerque. Bruce was kind enough to meet up with me and show me around Otero. I have ridden here a few times but always like when I can tag along with a local so the there is less debating at junctures. We had a killer ride. Way too much fun to stop and take any photos. 'Cept for this blurry one. I do believe it is time for a new camera. The one I have is all fucked up. It has no lens cover anymore so the lens is just exposed all the time. Most of the pics come out with a lovely haze of oil on them.
A and I ventured up to Deception Peak the other day and had a great descent down Ravens Ridge to Rio en medio to Pacheco then up to Winsor and then descend that all the way back to TVM
Deception Peak was blissful
I need to venture down to Nambe lake sometime soon
Anthony deftly descending Ravens Ridge
Aspens were just beginning there transition
The upper section of Rio en medio was BIG fun
Coming down Big T from the campground. After this it was a big ripper down the Winsor to the market to the car and cold beers
Interbike came and went as well in September. I went for the whole thing this year. Went to Cross Vegas and had a good time.
This was my 2nd attempt at brewing. Still doing extract brewing. This was supposed to be an American IPA. It came out good but not really indicative of a American IPA. More of an Amber. I just brewed again this past weekend and went with extract again. This time i got an IPA recipe from John who has been brewing for a long time and is a chemist. I think this one will be much more like a true IPA. Also this time I am going to rack it into a secondary. I hope this helps the cloudyness that i got with the American IPA.

Hey where is his bike?
It was good fun watching a cross race under the lights. Most the week at Interbike was work. Interesting frame design
Cinelli has stepped up its game for 2011 the new Mash frame is tight I think I might buy one of these
What's in your audio player? I have Paul's Boutique in mine. Speaking of which I see they are coming out with another album.
Finally got up to Atalaya a few times in the tail end of the summer season. I really like it up there. Particularly the backside dropping down to the Dale Ball south trails. The trails are really technical and even though they seem to not of been built with mountain bikers in mind they still rip.
That was a solo Atalaya trip. Coming home was another boring sunset
Then there was a good one with Tony
Saw this guy up near the top of Atalaya above the last switchback.
Ohh boy! A couple weeks ago Mike,Mark and I hit up the South Boundary trail in Taos. It was before the changing of the leaves up there but it was a great ride.
