Ohhh, I want to play!
I spent the weekend in Canyonlands National Park, about 3 hours south of my home. It was beautiful, not a bad place to go for the first ride of the year. Everyone goes to Moab to mountain bike, but there is so much do and see on the road. These pictures are from the Island in the Sky district, and the Needles district, further south.Last edited by just1morebike; 03-22-2009 at 06:55 PM.

I did something I normally don't do on the Sunday shop ride: I dropped the C-ride at the top of Great Falls Park and tried to hang with the hammerheads on the B-ride. For the most part, I succeeded...at least I, true to my title over here, hung on to last wheel...barely. At traffic lights, I'd pick my way to the front of the pack, and by the time we were down the road - perhaps at the next light, I'd be at the back. Unfortunately, by the time we got back into town, I was at the tail end at a light they all got through, but I got caught at the red. So that was the end of the B for me, and I ended up fininshing with just 2 or 3 others that also fell off the back.
My friend's ride was a shake down ride for her on her new bike. Her DH built her up a stunning Colnago C-50 with Edge composite wheels and SRAM red. The "red" of the SRAM he had custom changed to pink, so the bike is black, with all pink accents (CK headset, SP light action pedals, Terry saddle, bar tape, cables). I'm not much for pink, but the combination of pink and black was stunning. Unfortunately, the switch from Shimano to SRAM shifting left her fumbling at a few spots, so she spent most of her time (with him, thankfully) at the back of the C-ride.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

Thanks. It came to me while I was riding today, imagining what it would feel like to actually do a real triathlon, and if they make tri-suits in my size, and if I'd be able to swim in the ocean without attracting a shark, and how long would it take me to train for a real marathon, and how the cycling part will be the easiest leg of the race....I'm thinking I might put it on a t-shirt.
