Men, I know what you're thinking as you peer upon this brief photo-montage of the incredible Highroller chewing up the scenery on Spring Creek..."So THAT's what Hai Karate cologne LOOKS like!"
"Where can I get some?" Well don't worry I have you covered. From my private reserve I have set aside a bottle for each of you for when the time comes. When does the time come, you ask? I'll let you know but it generally comes sometime around oh, 2024 (seriously, don't ask me before that). Never fear Shannon, there is a bottle of pepper-spray with your name on it too darling.
Not totally shocking but Trout is turning into a major biker, yesterday riding down to the Library, to Little Toots Park, to Sweet Pea for lunch and then back home. That was not apparently enough for the 'lil terror as our evening walk ended up being a run all the way up Butcher Knife Creek and back home. Sort of a duathalon, especially if your legs are only like 16" long...
Why are you looking at me like that? What, is it June already? Steamboat weather has not been kind to our early season riding plans, lots of mud season this year with snow up to last week, rain and crappy cold temps. I missed out on any spring desert trips too so the above hammer-fest with Vermont's fastest riders was only Highroller's third time out this year...pitifull. And painful, real painful! But man, what a blast to be rolling along East Coast style on pine duff, roots and actual dirt! Chainsaw reports that Emerald Mtn trails are finally opening here so I'm looking to get out on my OWN bike for a change and throw down at the hoe-down. FR trails sound clear and dry, anyone getting out on the dirt?
HOT day in the concrete canyons of NYC, and every cab and bus within a hundred block radius was out to kill me, but the breeding tanks of the Uber Ancestors don't spit out many softies (welcome to HTFU) so I prevailed. Highroller 1, cabs 0. I've been somewhat twitchy (ok, ok twitchier than usual) on the road bike since getting plowed under by a Jeep a couple years ago so I took the proper cure and rode 80 high speed blocks down Broadway, 5th Ave and West End Ave blowing lights, getting squeezed out by buses, cut off by cabs and delivery vans, all on the worst pavement known to man. Cured! I'll take the Moots down the f*ckin' running of the bulls in Pamplona now! Also got a good view of Lady Liberty's ass from NJ (insert appropriate metaphor on either NJ or current state of "liberty" here). Out.
My new plot in SSCG in Longmont is a 20 x 20 plot. 
I built boxes, and made paths. 
Trying a new technique this year, going to try growing some plants directly in Straw Bales. 
Hello Iris and welcome to the family! What an incredible series of events, experiences and sheer fate must have occurred to bring YOU int...
