awesomness: mtb club

NM Junior Mountain Biking Club

Middle school has opened a whole 'nother world for my best girl.

There's band for our budding flautist.    And cross country.


And NM's only middle school mountain biking club. 

 

Many smiles this day.

Those kids left the parking lot, strangers.

And returned as riding buddies.

That's Awesomeness right there.

nothing to see here

This guy cracked me up on last night's ride:

Slithered off the trail just far enough to hide his head in the grass- 'nothing to see here bosssss'!

Seems Fall season has swept us up these days.  Saturdays have been dedicated to soccer, more soccer, and college football.  With the summer heat wave broken, Sundays lately have been mostly lazy affairs, catching up on yard work, enjoying the perfect weather.

Still, I've been riding local to keep my hand in.  Been spinning around our Sandia foothills trails while the kids are at soccer practice, it's been a while since I last road those trails with regularity.

Remember this?

Our monsoons have been kind to us this year.

high life

take me to the river

Wulffpack is heading out this weekend, pointing the truck north.  Next stop, Loveland, CO and a lil visit with the extended pack Alphas.  Packing the fly gear, one mtb, and swimming trunks.

No agenda set, just gonna see what unfolds.

Maybe a hike + fish in RMNP?  Or front range singletrack?  Maybe that Tour de Fat in Ft Collins.  Heard they have some kinda brewery up there.

Anyhoo, hope this finds you all out laying down tread or chasin fins of your own.

Oh and just a lil something to get you ready for the weekend-


you're welcome ;-)
