Phewwwwwwww..... Went to ride up in Taos a few weeks past and got dumped on and almost felt hypothermic. Those who hang tuff persevere though and MOST of us survived without pulling the plug. It was freakin wet though. My camera ended up getting all fogged up. I am glad it dried fine.
Brian from Philly getting ready for some South Boundary
Climbing up from Valle Escondido was just dandy even though it was a bit soft. No rain falling yet ......
Ohh myy there are some clouds building
White is the new White
Biking provides time for solitary thought
Man it is getting ominus
Did I mention that it started to get muddy
Brian is friends with Pete pictured here. They had rode Cochiti the day before Taos and stayed in Petes cabin he has in the Jemez and then met us for some South Boundary. Always fun to ride with these guys.
Pete's bike is of HIGH pedigree
Waiting at a turn I noticed that the weather was changing for the better. I finally started to warm up
2 friends glad to be riding together and also being glad to of made it out of the trail without hypothermia.
Foggy lens makes for discriptive image of the day
Matt and Pete on Nogal
Heading home after some fish tacos from Guadalajara's I had to stop one more time and look north to Taos and thank it for a fine day despite the early rain.... .ohh yeaa and take a piss
Ohh man the Firecracker 50 was spectacular. I was hoping to do a sub 6 for the race and pulled a 5:18 despite feeling it on the 2nd lap. Isaac who came up from New Mex pulled a 2nd place for SS this kid is mad fast. Then Jessica rocked top honers in SS Woman. She as well is mad fast. Jessicas guy friend Bill pulled a 5th I think. Ohh yeaa and Joe from Cafe Giuseppe Rocked 3rd in his class.
Isaac on the podium.
Jessica representin. I think her and Bill are rockin the Laramie Enduro today(Saturday the 1st of August). Hope they win it all.
Joe taking the podium

The comment under the pic of Pete and me should read (b/c it's what I said at the time) "Yay, we didn't die!". Epic ride. Thanks for leading us thru to the end at the cars, as opposed to our ends.
Sweet work again, Tim. That classy Dean is Brian's and I was riding his "old" bike the Surley SS. Let's here it for rain gear!
Nice job at the firecracker Tim. That's a really good time.
