Beetle-Juice, Beetle-Juice, Beetle-Juice!

The Redline has been free since its revival a few months back.  Recently, one of my co-workers has been talking about fixie mountain bikes.  Like Beetle Juice back in the day, he said "fixie" three times and I was compelled to bring mine back.  I rode it today and remembered how much fun it is to clip rocks with my cranks and spin as fast as humanly possible while descending. It may stay this way for a while.

The Coolest Place You Have Never Ridden

Built in natural "rest area" on Newham Trail

I am convinced that, when it comes to quality trails, Flagstaff, Arizona wants to be a sleeper town.  That is the only way a place with trails as rad as Flag stays relatively unknown.

Nice rest area on Sunset Trail

That Itch Again...

I'm jonesing for a safety scissor blue Karate Monkey frame set real bad. It's like when I was thinking about proposing to my wife and I thought, "That's crazy thinking" but I kept thinking about it. Yeah, it's like that. Perhaps a better analogy is, I feel the same way about the Karate Monkey as Homer feels about donuts.

No Dirt

My plan for the forest closure:

Daydream about riding restricted trails.
Daydream about riding a bike I don't own on restricted trails.
Drive to a place where trails aren't restricted and ride.
Ride on the roads next to restricted trails and daydream about riding them.
Drink beer in my back yard and stare at the mountain with the closed trails.
Ride the few trails that are open along with all the other mountain bikers in the Albuquerque area.
