100


I thought I would do something special for blog #100, but I was thinking to much. I do this blog because of the motivation from Dave C. That is the main reason I started. Now it has turned into a nice outlet for me to share silly thoughts, bike rides, and let people see how the kids are doing. I hope anyone reading enjoys the blog. Heres to another 100!

Blog # 99






Blog 99 could only be about the Great One! Growing up a hockey fan he brought me so many great memories. I loved the fact that he was not the fastest, biggest, or strongest but always found a way to dominate! The Oiler day were by far the best! He should have never been traded! Thanks 99!

This is the "new trail at school from the top!

Part of the job!


Part of my job at school is teaching kids how to mountain bike. Yes, it is fun and yes it is scarey! Middle school kids have minds of their own and when you let them loose on a bike you never know what could happen. Put those same kids on a singletrack trail in the woods and safety must become prioity #1 from the teacher stand point. When Dave C. and I built the trail two years ago we thought the kids would like it and we would have a place "close" to work to ride singletrack. The kids love it and it is nice having sweet singletrack at work! The part of "the trail" that I never expected to love is the maintance and building of new trail. It is just so rewarding to create a new section of trail that really flows and works well. The following pictures are my latest work to re-route and create a safer riding trail.

Really Superfly


This just looks fast! Charlie you said you wanted a singlespeed 29er!

April Fools


This is my first political post. Andy this is for you. I watched some of these guys on C-SPAN last night. What a bunch of you know what! When asked what they needed to lower the price of gas they all said they need to drill in new areas in and around the U.S. Why not just lower the amount of profits by a few BILLION! They stink! Ride you bike, you may need to soon!

Dream Yeti

My Mini White Clay

I created a new section of trail at school that really does look like white clay. Pictures will come soon. I don't have the camera.
