Is blogging still a thing?

So there I was, drinking beer and looking at the internet. What ever happened to my blog..... I don't think people even realize that I race mountain bikes for a living. I think people know me as that guy who posts weekly POV videos on YouTube about riding on the edge of some scary cliff in the desert. I am a Vlogger now, do I really need a blog? Well, after a two-year hiatus, I just turned it back on because it made me smile. Let me know what you guys think. Times were simpler then. More projects, more problems. Wouldn't trade it for anything. ​

Hawkeye Trail in Grand Junction Colorado

It's not every day that I get to ride a new trail in Colorado. Join myself and Sarah for a rip on the newest section of singletrack goodness in the Grand Valley. #FollowCamFriday on Hawkeye
Admittedly, I am not the biggest fan of "flow" trails. So when I herd there was a new blue run out at Kokopelli, I sort of rolled my eyes. I have always enjoyed the technical aspects of the riding in Loma and ride there often, as opposed to 18 road. I just prefer rugged and raw to smooth and flowy. Aren't we lucky to have so many trails to choose from... Thanks Fruita!

So, that said, I actually enjoyed this new bit thoroughly. We rode it in both directions and it's actually pretty sweet and allows for a more user friendly Kokopelli experience than say.... More Fun. I still prefer Mack Ridge and Horsethief, but this is a nice little addition to keep things fresh out there. Good work builders, good work!

Pete should have his own Instagram account. He gets all the likes and comments. Would you just look at him... #petethedog actually gets a bit of screen time in this weeks episode. Pro tip- insert dog photo thumbnail, get 1 million views.

Pete is 10 years old and has run more miles behind the bike than most humans have pedaled. I take it pretty easy on him these days. He does better in the snow in his old age. He was on the gas on this particular day however. Riding with your dog is simply amazing.

For better or worse, this is how every ride begins. The herding instinct is strong in this one. I have never lost a DHF to these shenanigans. After about 30 seconds, everything gets back to normal, but this is always a crowd pleaser as we leave the trailhead.

And what can we say about Sarah. Sarah is faster than you. She has the heart of a lion and enough stubborn determination to tame any section of trail. It only took her a lap or two to get all of the rock maneuvers on lock. Impressive riding if I do say so myself. Sarah runs the Vida Mtb Series, inspiring women to get out and ride.  Need some coaching? Have a special lady in your life that loves to ride? Check out her situation HERE. 2018 clinics will fill up fast, so get after it ladies.

I hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays as much as I have. Thanks for all the support and good vibes in 2017! Couldn't do it without you guys. Here's to a prosperous 2018 for you and yours.
