Copenhagen

Oh, how I want to visit Scandinavia. Just to fuel the fire I stumbled across: copenhagengirlsonbikes.blogspot Check it out and see regular folks (albeit, female and attractive) using bikes in their everyday lives.

They can’t all be great,

I went to Pisgah this weekend. Saturday’s ride turned south fast when the group split up mistakenly within the first half hour. I spent more time sitting around in the woods wondering where everybody went then actually riding. When I did ride I was confronted by yet another I9 failure. A hard day of not ridding and breaking stuff was topped off by a disgusting BBQ diner. At least the campfire was huge. Sunday it started raining the minute we broke camp, I had no mood to put up with riding in the rain all day so I packed it back home and did a little greenway fixy riding in the afternoon from home. It takes bad trip to help you appreciate the good ones.

Lax on the posts

I haven’t posted anything since before Thanksgiving. I guess not much has been going on and I can’t find my camera so no pictures lately. Thanksgiving was great, Noah got to spend some good time with my mother and everyone ate too much.
I got a little riding in last week. Jeff and I went to Pisgah and had a grand day hitting up some of the best easy climb for maximum downhill thrill routes I know. Jeff tested out his new Nomad which is one of the best looking bicycles I have ever seen. We went to the Hatchery, road up the gravel road to the top of Long Branch and then did the full Longbranch/Cat gap descent then jumped back in the car and drove to the base of Black Mountain and road North Slope> Claw Hammer>Maxwell>Black Mountain>Grassy Road>Sycamore. The weather was perfect and trail conditions could not have been better.

Its neerly oficial now, I am going back to 26" wheels. Well at least for a while and on a longish travel bike. More details to come.

The weather is supposed to be supper nice this weekend and Tara is going out of town with the boy so I will probably go camp and ride in Pisgah all weekend. If anyone is interested in meeting up, shoot me an email. (Briannicholson at charter dot net)
