As luck would have it, my participation in the Front Range's Antarctica-fest-a-palooza was curtailed by a business trip out to the big red S in Morgan Hill Cali (we still have leaves on trees and you can see the ground) fornia.

I spent three days riding a variety

of skinny tired thingbobs

Before getting down to the more pressing business of attaching tread to trail.

I was lent an eerily familiar bike.

(despite a few minor component changes to bring it up to spec, it was the exact same bike I rode several months ago @ interbike:

)

My employee and travelling companion was set up with a nice demo bike as well, courtesy of Francois

Modesty prohibits me from going into too much detail, but it felt awfully, awfully darned good to ride dirt again. Heck it was nice just to see dirt. Big thanks to Francois for the ride and the demo management for Erik and for the uber tasty Vietnamese spring rolls for the post ride. A lovely pairing with the Lagunitas IPA, I thought.

Nice!...

Holy shi-ite, I've forgotten what dirt looks like!

My latest Big 'S' product, has seen ONE dirt (and snow) ride!!

Thanks for the hit!!!!!!:thumbsup:

So, so jealous right now. Nothing to do with the red S, everything to do with the dirt.

DaveM: nice looking new ride!

That's not work, that's a boondogle. Even worse, that trip will haunt you all this week while you are scraping ice off your windshield like the rest of us.

The water tower thingys up at UC Santa Cruz! Just that little shot brings back so many memories. Thanks for the image and the reminder of all the great trails that shoot off from right there!!

Or sustain him! :thumbsup:

Cool beans. Maybe my boss at my new bike-shop job will drag me along on such "business trips." I guess I better make sure I'm friggin indispensable.

Ha, that's my gig, too. The wireless business is very profitable, but not as exciting as Mr. Sloan's. Most of the time, anyway....
