The drop in to the lower portion of Goat Trail.
bAlbert arriving and ready to slip slide his way through the lower Goat.
Even The Little Man has resolved himself to the fact that 'If you're gonna ride this year, you're gonna have to ride in some mud.'
The GDMBR starts today at high noon. If you don't know what that is look here. For a quick synopsis I will tell you that it is a 2745 mile self supported mountain bike race from here...............
Banff, AB, CA
To here...............
Antelope Wells, NM
I have been following this race for the past 4 or 5 years and it is incredible what some of the riders endure racing day and night for weeks on end. I am talking riding 18 hrs a day, sleeping on the ground beside your bike in the rain or snow, grizzly bears, freezing temps in the Rockies, and blistering heat in the deserts of New Mexico. It makes what most of us do on a bike seem like child's play. This year has the largest start list ever, so it should be a very interesting 20 days or so. Check it out.
I am off to the beach for a week with La Jefa and The Little Man......of course I am bringing a bike, two bikes in fact.
Oh yeah, there maybe some Moots news by the time I return. I will keep you, the faithful readers of this incoherent dribble, properly and completely informed.
