a view from mt. lemmon- the 27 mile climb had amazing views

me and tash after riding elephant head trail outside of Tucson- brutally hot. and rocky and dry. but awesome. very very tired.

tasha's version of packing- well sort of. amazingly it took her all night to pack. it could have something to do with the two beers in her hand...

this is what we left last week in boulder- the snow, and the dog. i missed Casey, but glad to be leaving the snow!!!

packing for our trip to Tucson, AZ. tasha wanted to document the fact that i looked a little lost packing my bike- yeah its been a few months- out of practice i guess...

so this shirt i thought was pretty funny- ironic i think- and, casey seems to like it...

i found a bike in sante fe, NM which was part of an art gallery. tasha, casey and i stopped half way down to el paso to hang out and check out the downtown area. pretty cool place-

does this picture really need a caption? no. it doesn't.

el paso, texas. repelling down some non-ridable stuff. the single track was either super easy or crazy hard-made riding interesting. but it was warm and sunny. and thats something.

umm, yeah. so i have some tan lines. sweet. wait, i think thats a burn. we were too busy enjoying the sun in el paso to think about sun screen.... but hey, our new patagonia clothes look PIMP...

tasha showing off her tan lines after our el paso trip- oh and our sweet new patagonia clothes we just got in the mail- its pretty much the best sponsor- ever.
