Good Morning Midnight

Starting off Interbike right. At Bouchon





    Went to my first Interbike right after we got back from Baltimore. Went for 3 days to set up the booth for BTI and walk the floor for a day as well.

   On the second night of building the booth I left for my room after a 16 hour day. It was quite nice to walk the floor at 4 in the morning. Got a couple shots in the empty trade show room.








Some TT shit



   I thought the BMX section of the show was killer. There were all kinds niceness over there .Seems like a ot of the BMX companies are doin a urban fixietrickbike thingy




A room with a view.......sort of?



stopped by the BTI booth in the morning
The back side of the booth had some meetng rooms and a back alley type of feel





Ben was hard at work on the Cinelli side of things




The Gazettas are a new offering form Cinelli this year.It is a more affordable steel track bike that will come a some good colors. Pink being one



Some more TT love






One of my favorites from the show was the PK Ripper.





My first mountain bike was a Marin. I feel like they still put out some cool stuff.






Rock Mountain even jumping into the urban fixie scene



Raleigh looking good









Gotta love some colored tires made for tricksters







I liked this Torelli with the 2 color fade



Penny Farthing disc brake madness


I thought these push bikes were cool



Bianchi beaatches







    Right before Interbike I was back in Baltimore for my fathers memorial service and what not. While there an old Friend Eric brought 2 bikes and and a helmet and everything else i needed to go ride my old stomping grounds. It was a great diversion to what I was there for. Thanks Eric.

Rockin slip-on's,drops and gears for the ride


Eric sans gears and clipless



   If you ever make it to Baltimore get yourself some Ressurection and some Berger cookies




   When we got back from Baltimore I had one day before I left for Vegas so I had a MTB ride with Todd and we decided to ride up the Winsor and points beyond. It was great to get out before getting back on a plane.

The Winsor has theraputic abilities





Coming up to Pacheco Canyon rd














Todd in the burn on the switchback

   What is in your audio player? I have Miighty Flashlight in mine thanks to my brother for turnin me on. Been digging it. It has a very "One Foot In The Grave" type of sound.

Old Friends

    Dominic came from Bodymore, Murderland for a vacation with his wife to Santa Fe. While he was here we met up for a ride. As long as I have known Dom he has ridden a 700c fixed gear bike with drops. I tried to get him a fixed gear bike to ride while he was here but I failed to do so. I got him a full carbon Commencal skin. This bike is the antithesis of what he normally rides. He ended up loving it though. So alls well that ends well. I picked him up at his posh digs and drove up to nuns corner for some fun up there.
Dom riding the SM100



It was great seeing him and Miranda. Hope they come back for another visit.


    Dom climbing Chamisa with kids wheels and gears and a freewheel, oh yeaa and a little bit of suss




ohh Sidewinder, you are one fine trail





The Skin performed admirably



Nice views up on sidewinder






    After we got done with the lovelyness that is Chamisa/sidewinder We drove down to the Dale Ball trails so that Dom could get a taste of our "in town" trails.

On the Dale Ball North trails

Was great to ride with Dom again. I hope we do it agina someday
SunsetRIG

Come back soon yall

     Hit Dome road Carl Shipman Alamosa Killer medio dia with Jeff from work and a friend of his who's name escapes me at the moment and Anthony. Was a fine day to be in Cochiti.


Jeff and his friend climbing up Dome



    This trail is wilderness so no bikes. I have wanted to hke it though. I believe it goes to the Stone Lions which is a shrine wth something to do with a hunting ritual. I have wanted to go do this hike but didn't know if this trail head off of Dome road was the right one. If anyone of of the few people that see this know this hike let me know.


Getting to the Carl Shipman trail


Carl Shipman was rather washed out




Some macro love







Coming around the base of some sweet tent rocks as we begin the long climb up Alamosa trail


I wonder if Alamosa trail will be maintained


this trail does afford some nice views


This looks like a nice spot for a snack


    One of my favorite trails on this ride is the never ending meadow that takes you over from Alamosa trail to killer switchbacks




Jeff hitting a nice roller with full rigidness




     What is in your audio player? I have the soundtrack for Sprout in mine. Quite nice. Especially when you are dying to hit some waves like i am. The band has Money Mark, Tommy Guerro and Jack johnson among others.
