Now there's a sight for sore eyes...18Rd, solo, $100k + of bikes in the van. Yeah, I think I'll park it right here. Joe's Ridge and a sub 2 parsec Kessel Run before the sunset, then hours of moth-squashing across eastern UT and a standard Highroller camp out at the Castle Rock SP (giant freakish spiders, sleeping bag on top of the picnic table, rain in the face, fuck, roll over, still raining, ok crawl in front seat of van, can't even recline seat since it's so stuffed full of bikes, what is that? daybreak. bag into gutter followed by Highroller, ah precious 2 hours sleep, so parched morning pee was neon, sweet). Thence to Hurricane, UT to ride the Hurricane Rim, probably pretty sweet, unfortunately rode it at 2pm, so hot I was seeing spots, did I mention parched?

Matty and Dash's Brokeback Adventure
Guess who we found down in Southwest Colorado? Our long lost bIKE cLUB member Duece. Turns out that Pete switched teams AND turned cowboy all in the same summer. Pete welcomed Matty and Dash to the Brokeback Ranch. We had breakfast in Creed, toured the ranch, learned how to fly fish, and even caught a few trout. Good times for sure.
SWM: Hi, my name is Pete. I am a cowboy, 6'-0", 175 lbs, into fly fishing, stamp collecting and sumo wrestling. I seek a sensitive, outgoing, man into similar activities.
This elk is the second largest elk ever shot in Colorado.
Dos Amigos!

Thumbs up Mr. A.
#237 to the line...
Single Speed World Championships are OVER. Matty and I pulled some respectable times for a tough course. We were able to beat Jacquie Phelan by a huge margin, but Ned Overend totally kicked our a$s. The course was great, with some great singletrack, tough climbs, killer hike-a-bike and a great downhill. Also, the world's best "feed" zones with cheap Whiskey, Belgium Beer and bacon rounding out the smorgasbord. Thank you Durango!

Meow we're talking!
Bryan "The Velvet Hammer" Buikema has signed on and "Silent but Deadly" Sue may sneak over the border to join in on the bIKE cLUB Farva Award shenanigans as well. "Oh Canadia! Yon shining fields of snoooo-ow" You know what's perilously close to Canada, besides Sue? Yep, Vermont and the Vermont Highway Patrol. just saying... Oct 17 & 18 Vernal, UT...be where? There!

Oh yeah!
Oct 17th-18th, Vernal, UT we'll be getting back on track after several years wandering in the wilderness, bereft of the bonhomie & sloppy comraderie that only a 7' Shotski can truly provide, or perhaps "enhance". Will there be drunken fireworks battles, will coveted Farva awards change hands, will the VT Highway Patrol bust up the whole shebang? Who can say? Well Los Uber Ancestor can probably say, what with their Brassy Rotoscope and Scrolls and whatnot, but they aren't (saying that is) so we'll just have to skip over thar and see what shakes out!
Should you bring a bike, beer, puffy, firewood, blow up doll, leftover Chinese, and Jaeger? Yes!
Should you decline due to parenthood, restraining orders, common decency, the sorry state of the economy or the 3.2 beer connundrum? No!
Special bonus! Tell me Officer Farva's 1st name and win a chance to demo a Moots at FARVAs!
