The Plan
by Mitchell Sprinsky on Apr.08, 2011, under Colorado, Ride Reports
I love it when a plan comes together. The perfect execution of a timeline. The most productive project that any Gantt chart freak would salivate at. A facilitated dream.
Today’s plan was one of those. Short, sweet, and to the point. Work, ride, eat wings, drink beer, and then drink more beer. What could be better? Ok, maybe less work, but the beer? Oh, the beer. And, I still drink it as I type. But, let’s move on. I’ll save the pictures of the food and beer until the end.
The ride is the important part here. Yes, the ride. A picture perfect ride. My Van Gogh.
Mixed Bag

We decided on Heil and Picture Rock for today’s ride. The morning started off ok. It was warm, the sun was shining, but by the time the guys had stopped at my house the weather was changing. A couple of drops, but North looked ok. So, off we went. It was cloudy as we headed up Wapiti. The climb was nice, there were plenty of people out and about, but we should have known changes were afoot. Keith left his helmet at the car, so he went back. Stu and I continued up to wait for him.
Patrolling the Sistahs

And yet another beautiful day in Colorado. After spending a week in NJ, I really needed to get out and breath some fresh air. What better way than to combine riding and giving back a little to the people who maintain our great trails. Love them or hate them, we are lucky to have access to some of the best dirt in the world.

Kenosha pass to Georgia Pass down Jefferson Creek and back up to Kenosha. Mmmm… That’s good!
There was something wrong with the sky again today. It must be a conspiracy or something. I didn’t think they made Blue in that color.
Valley of the Sun
by Mitchell Sprinsky on Nov.11, 2006, under Arizona
If you have read past year’s ride reports, then you’ll know I have always liked the valley of the sun. In fact the Phoenix area was on my top 3 list of places to move to. Denver won out because that’s where the jobs were. In any case, I continue my goal of getting there at least once a year. Usually as an add-on to a conference I am attending as was this case. Given the start times and golf tournament (I don’t play), I would get at least two and maybe three rides in.
When I arrived on Friday, Gary called to say he had kid duty and couldn’t ride. So after an uneventful unpacking and assembly of the bike, I was off to one of my favorite solo riding areas. McDowell Mountain Regional Park was empty as I pulled in and started the long loop.
