You talkin' to me, bird? Why I oughtta... Chainsaw breaks in her new lid on a wee excursion/scouting trip to GJ. Camped in a sweet boulder-field in Unaweep Canyon near Whitewater and got in 4+ hours on the road towards Gateway on Saturday. CO River Park in Fruita is a bust (lame, paved) and the CO Monument doesn't allow campfires so we may be headed back to Crow Ridge. Somebody find a "fire-pan" and a portable crapper, stat!

Only canyon in the world split into two drainages... Chainsaw pissed right on this spot, and wouldn't you know it, half headed east, half west. Man, doesn't my XL Schwinn look tiny?

Fighting the steady headwind Chainsaw pulls thru upper Unaweep Canyon. 50+ miles and the first layer of biker-tan in the books, at least on one leg up to the knee warmer height...

Ahhh tailwind, finally! Got the standard Fruita Sunday rainout out of the way (so hopefully we'll go for the full pull April 15-16) and even squeezed in a few tele turns at Eldora after we returned early. Fruita Brew Pub? Belly up. Fiesta Guadalajara? Rocking! Prepare your chi Footsoldiers, we will be tearing the house down!

Have you seen this man? Any information leading to his whereabouts and/or capture in time for Froot-AARGH April 15-16 will be richly rewarded! Chainsaw y yo will be performing advanced scouting this weekend so RSVP if you're planning to attend and we'll check out suitable debauchery spots...

too much snow???

UN-believable powder day at Wolf Creek last Sunday! Too much snow! 80 inches in less than a week! If it wasn't steep the snow would stop us in our tracks! Wore beacons and shovels INBOUND! Had to help dig out a couple of buried snowboarders!

Froot-Aaargh!

Flee immediately my brethren! Do not hesitate, do not look back for the very Squirrels of Mirkwood themselves follow inevitably, like darkness falling across the land, millions of beady, bloodshot eyes peering forth from a furry maelstrom no Footsoldier could hope to stand against. Flee I tell you, flee! Rendevous at high ground in Fruita April 15th-16th and bring your steed and your drinking liver, for ride we shall and drink we must! -M

 

Time to paint the town red... I mean tan... ? This Friday at 7, join Matty A at Juanita's to celebrate his birthday. Please RSVP so we can get a big enough table. 

Ah, then there was the time when your Grandaddy and I went to Nebraska for a day.
