All around where I live are great bike trails. I lack the motivation sometimes to get out on my own to bike (never enough time) so I am thankful when Marc and Cynthia get me out to bike with them. The trails are fantastic and Marc teaches me some nifty techniques of mountain biking. These photos are from the Holly Cross trail on Colorado National Monument, 10 minutes from my house.
I am still riding my Redline 29er, which Marc refers to as the “solid steel construction bike.” It is as basic as the bikes get and while I really like the feel of the 29-inch wheels, I am ready for some suspension and less weight to haul around. I already bought a frame and most of the parts to build a new 29er and I can’t wait to get it built. I need just a few more parts and I will have a new bike.

I asked Marc to bike back up this ridge again… (click to enlarge)
…so I could take this photo. (click to enlarge)
