For the second Sunday in a row, Chadd and myself hit the trails at CNP, which is definitely my new favorite spot, since it’s not too far away (30 minutes from downtown), has a pretty awesome variety of stuff to ride, and isn’t at all crowded. [...]

I haven’t rode my mountain bike (on a trail) since spring/early summer…once Duncan Creek opened I abandoned the trails for all park action, and then actually broke the rear section of the Otero frame. I had it repaired, and the furthest I have rode it was from the shop door to the car in the [...]
