Will do—though I usually go to La Costeña and maybe I'll get a super (two overlapping tortillas) burrito! One is definitely not enough...

la costena used ot have the best lengua...buthavent been in awhile

A great ride? Up OLH and over and then back on either West Alpine or Tunitas Creek.
Redwoods, solitude, effort. And oh so easily done from home.

The lack of any rain is distrubing, but as for riding, yeesh it's hard to complain when you can wear bib shorts and a SS in december while everyone else is in a basement watching a video.

+1 to all of that. In fact, I just treated my brother to that ride (return on W. Alpine) on Friday. And King's Mt. yesterday. Glorious weather we're having. I think he's sorry to have returned to CT.

Well, this is a photo of me taken on new years eve. It is in my front yard, after riding here on the farm. My wife sent it to everyone, only to realize there is something a little odd about it.. Oh yea, my new years resolution is to learn how to post photos. This is my first go at it

Reminds me of the 'walkoff' scene from Zoolander :-)

Taking after Brett Favre?

Seriously ... what is that shiny object?

[rowdyhillrambler]

That "Favre", is in fact my thumb. Or were you referring to the shiny lake in the background?

Kinda reminds me of the famous picture of Steve McQueen featuring not his thumb.

You know what they say; It Pays To Advertise! How're you liking that Crux?

Funny, you ask.. I have been riding/racing for a long time. Sorta quit for 10 years and decided to get back into riding. You know life and all got in the way. Started riding again bout 6 months ago, CX is relatively new here in the south. I was a good MTBer and a pretty good road guy. I thought, well, get me a bike i can race hard for an hour or so... I am by no means a snob when it comes to bikes, i will ride whatever, anywhere, and i dont give a shit.

Your question, answered, is... I ride the shit out of it and love it. Maybe i do not know any better when it comes to CX bikes, but when it comes to a pretty good entry level stead, i like it.. I have about 10 miles of trail at my house, bout 4 of that is CX. So it get ridden alot. I like that it isnt so expensive i need to clean it all of the time. LAZY, i weld for a living so cleaning metal is what i do all day, dont like doing it for a hobby. Raced it bout 12 times, won 4 races and won the state race.. That being said, i realize TN aint the northeast.. But for $1500 or so, i think it did a great job.
