Another great trip to Medicine Bow.

2009-07-20T14:33:00.004-05:00

Had a great few days of downhill riding in Medicine Bow National forest in Wyoming. My 12 year old nephew had never ridden a mountain bike but he showed us he has mad skills, not only did he not crash he kept up quite well with the pack.

She's done

2009-07-05T04:41:00.003-05:00

Got the new Repro decals from bmxproducts.com, they are officially licensed by mongoose and exactly as the originals were in 1984. You can see on the old one's the red had completely faded off.

1984 Mongoose

2009-06-27T15:48:00.002-05:00

This is what she looks like after a make-over. I will be putting new pedals (vintage of course). and possibly new decals (originals). and maybe frame and handle bar pads?

NOT TRASH!!!! NO, NO, NO!!!

2009-06-18T13:39:00.003-05:00

A lady was throwing this in the trash. I asked if I could have it and she told me to take it. It's an '84 Mongoose Expert. It was pretty beat up and rusty, but nothing a little polish, steel wool, and elbow grease couldn't fix.

Manawa

2009-05-05T16:24:00.005-05:00

Took advantage of the beautiful weather and hit Manawa today, it was perfect!

Weekend!

2009-03-23T13:53:00.001-05:00

This weekend was GREAT! Beautiful weather, dry trails, and lots of miles put on the bike. Swanson was packed all weekend with riders taking advantage of the spring weather. If you stayed at home inside, you missed out on some great riding this weekend. Well the rains come today so it will probably be a few days before we can get out again.

Treasure

2009-03-20T14:22:00.005-05:00

Some of you that know me know that I love skateboarding as much as riding my Mt. Bike. My love of skateboarding was started when my mom and dad bought me a skateboard for Christmas in 1985. It wasn't a great skateboard or even a good skateboard, but it was mine and I loved it! It was a Variflex Ramp Rat from probably Target or K-mart. This board was factory recalled in 1986. I have been searching for this board for quite sometime, and finally, not only did I locate one on ebay, it was in near perfect condition. I had to have this board, I knew I would never see it again, I would have paid a lot more for it. I am super happy. :)

Get out today

2009-03-20T14:22:00.001-05:00

Swanson is perfecto! get out today 'cause the rain comes tomorrow.

perfect

2009-02-06T15:15:00.003-06:00

Are you kidding 62 degrees in Feb. I put on the nut huggin spandex and headed to the refuge and rode some dirt roads for a few hours.

2009-02-05T13:36:00.002-06:00

50 degrees, sunny, today was perfect for a cruise around town on the Electra.

Christmas came early!

2008-11-24T14:38:00.003-06:00

So I went to Swanson for a quick loop and when I was getting all ready to go I noticed someone had thrown away a few sets of tires. The pack rat in me checked them out to see if any are worth a crap, and wouldn't you know it, There was a brand new set of Hutchison Flash road tires. So I would like to personally thank whoever threw those away. They will make a good addition to my vintage Cannondale road rig!

TFK and Pillar rocked the house!

2008-08-26T11:51:00.002-05:00

I met Tommie Frazier at Omaha Epply Airfield the other day, my wife didn't know who he was. I looked up some videos on You tube to show her and, man oh man, it brought back some memories when Huskers were GREAT!

2008-08-13T03:48:00.002-05:00

Vacation

2008-07-27T22:30:00.003-05:00

Good vacation this year! It was filled with Frontier days, parties, camping, mountains, skate parks, and of course lots of mountain biking. This year we hit the Barber Lake downhill and Curt Gowdy state parks "new" and very impressive trails in Wyoming. here's a short little slide show of some of our ventures.

MURPHYS ROCKED!!!!!!!

2008-07-17T08:18:00.007-05:00

Alaskan adventure

2008-07-03T18:50:00.004-05:00

Just got back from 6 weeks doing exploration geology in alaska.

2008-06-04T20:43:00.002-05:00

Went riding at Swanson today before the Thunderstorms. It was super tacky and fast. Very overgrown, makes itchy shins. Glad I got a ride in before the rains came in.

INDIAN CAVE

2008-05-18T12:34:00.002-05:00

Went to Indian cave near Brownville for some riding. There was a late season ice storm and there are thousands of trees down. The trails are closed and impassable, there is a trail day on JUNE 7th for those who would like to volunteer.

passion

2008-05-13T21:45:00.005-05:00

Those of you that know me, know I grew up a skater. After my BMX Bike was stolen when I was 11, I took up Skating. Although my love for bikes reigns, I still get on a skateboard if I cant' get out and ride my bike.

Damn!

2008-05-11T11:15:00.002-05:00

Still too much snow and ice in the Wyoming Snowy Range to ride, the stuff that is melted is mud. It didn't help that we got about 1/2 inch of snow when we got here. Oh well, maybe next time.

Today's ride

2008-04-30T13:27:00.005-05:00

Went up to my home trail, Swanson in Bellevue. I love the new climb on Tetanus ridge, it's a great place for a break. It's got nice view to take in and a good place to lay in the grass. I usually park my bike next to the tree up on the top and just chill for a while, there's no hurry when you ride.

Re-Route

2008-04-21T13:36:00.002-05:00

Today I went to Swanson before work in hopes it was dry enough to ride, it was. I guess I should have checked some blogs or T.H.O.R.s website because they were out at Swanson doing a re-route on tetanus ridge. The first re-route was ok although there were some drying issues near the pasture and the trail was, well, kind of boring. The new re-route is shorter with tighter switchbacks which makes for fun with some speed. Good job fellas, I wish I would've been there for trail work but my weekend was pretty well full. I also see there was some trail work on other area trails. Thank you THOR.

I Love Spring

2008-04-17T14:59:00.004-05:00

As the season comes along and the trails dry, and soak up spring rains I find my self thankful for the lifestyle I have. For me it is difficult to stay indoors even when the weather is not the greatest, I must find something to do outside. Now that spring is here I wake every morning trying to figure out how I am going to fit my activities in for the day, whether skating, riding single track (if dry), or just hitting the road on one of my cruisers. I am blessed to have a job where I can be outdoors and on occasion ride my patrol bike. But for now I sit here at my computer waiting for the downpour outside to stop so I can put my skateboard on the back of the electra and hit the streets. I just wish it would friggin quit raining.

April 15

2008-04-15T16:35:00.003-05:00

Hit Swanson today and battled the wind. The temps were good, and the wind dried up a lot of the trail. I saw the high gear / Trek Store guys out on their weekly Tuesday ride. Good to see those guys out riding and not just selling.

Party in Bellevue today!

2008-04-05T18:09:00.004-05:00

Went out and rode swanson today, Trek had some demos out to ride today, very nice. The trail was sweet, dirt was perfect. I was afraid it would be to wet but I couldn't have been more wrong, it was sticky and fast. It also looked like some local trailer park was having some kind of white trash reunion in the pavilion in the park. There were lots of beer bellies (on the men and women), tattoos and fat chicks wearing really small pants. Sorry guys no pics.

More pics

2008-03-30T18:39:00.007-05:00

Maybe next trip will hit some bike trails, but there's always good fun in Laramie!

Wyoming

2008-03-26T17:30:00.003-05:00

Went to Wyoming over easter and attempted to get some riding in. Weather wasn't cooperating for single track so we hit the skate park with my nephews and niece, and we weren't riding bikes. we also went into the medicine bow mountains for a good day of snowshoeing and sledding. Will post pictures later.

DIRT, SWEET DIRT!

2008-03-26T17:26:00.002-05:00

Finally! Rode dirt for the first time since Nov. It was sticky, fast, and perfect. Lewis and Clark was sweet. I am in terrible shape and I was really sucking wind, but it was a great ride.

2007-11-16T19:06:00.000-06:00

Went out to Swanson and did a lap today. My wife got a new specialized rig and wanted to try it out. It was a gorgeous day and perfect for riding. Hope to see everyone out tomorrow.

Going riding

2007-10-24T13:09:00.001-05:00

Went out and walked some area trails, looks like they are finally good for riding. Swanson was dry, see you on the trails!

Keystone Mountain Bike Park

2007-08-04T14:23:00.000-05:00

Quality kind of sucks, Google video not the greatest.

ouch!

2007-07-31T21:20:00.001-05:00

OK so I was feeling good enough to ride, so we went out and rode medicine bow and vedauwoo. We were just about finished and Justin took a spill and broke his poor little arm. Surgery scheduled for Friday. Notice the hand is not lined up with the arm, pretty gross. Will post more photos later, of the ride.

Well Justin was being a little girl because his swelling in his arm was interfering with his nerves and he had to have emergency surgery on Tuesday night, he's all fixed up and he's good now.

uuugggghhhh!

2007-07-30T01:27:00.000-05:00

Trip cut short, due to injury. We went up to Keystone and trails were sweet. On the second run we headed down cowboy up, if you are familiar you will know what I am talking about. Afer the step down drops there is a huge rock garden with large boulders, I was bombing down and took a hard crash. I laid there suffering in pain ,the air was knocked out of me, I could not breathe. Three other cyclists went by me and did not even stop to help out, thanks guys. I am heading heading home early , as soon as I feel well enough to drive home. I got some hip, shoulder, back , and some major rib issues.

MOAB BABY! Maybe?

2007-07-27T23:46:00.000-05:00

Got here in Wyo, and the weather is very wet. We got to thinking after Keystone on Sunday if it's ridable, head down and do slickrock and porcupine rim. I don't know we'll see what happens.

If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT! ROAM

2007-07-24T22:29:00.000-05:00

Out of here!

2007-07-23T22:50:00.000-05:00

I have decided Friday I am out of here. I am leaving for a week long adventure for nothing other than to ride my bike. I will meet up with my brother and cousin on Sunday for keystone everything after is kind of fly by the seat of your pants. Maybe winter park or check out new stuff in Wyoming. I can't wait.

Heartland festival

Back from Medicine bow!

2007-07-10T23:08:00.000-05:00

My Bro and I hit a Trail called barber lake in Medicine bow mountains near Laramie. We were going to try some other trails also, but instead we hit this one 3 times. It is top notch downhill! There is sick Rock gardens, roots and fast single track and best of all it's all down hill FAST!!! If you ever get the chance don't pass this one by it is too fun!

I will post more pics and video later!

Shuttle

2007-07-01T21:34:00.000-05:00

My Sgt. called me and told me the Space Shuttle was at Offutt AFB, so we went and checked it out.

Sunday

2007-07-01T16:40:00.000-05:00

Today I went up to Swanson to check out the activities. It looked like everyone was having fun. I'm not much of a racer so I went up to Lewis and Clark. The trail was fast, I love L&C, there was no traffic on the trail other than I.

Next week I will be headin up to Laramie, Wyoming. I will be riding turtle rock trail and hopefully Libby Flats up in Medicine Bow NF.

Good Cop, Baby Cop

Right about now he's thinking "Oh shit, I forgot my helmet"!

2007-06-28T03:27:00.000-05:00

As seen on Break.com

found this online, looks like somebody's homework but I thought it was pretty cool.

2007-06-23T06:46:00.000-05:00

2007-06-14T13:28:00.001-05:00

Contrary to docs orders I got back on the bike today for the first time in a couple of weeks. Man, it's hard not riding your bike, kind of makes a guy a little grouchy.

Anyway, it was a nice ride, only one lap around Swanson. I didn't want to push it, it was a little painful, but it's more painful sitting on my ass at home.

What the FFFF?

2007-06-07T15:40:00.000-05:00

Well I've been off the bike lately. I have a messed up ribcage, to be more specific, Costochondritis (slipped Rib). Doc says 4-8 weeks of unrelenting pain. So I guess I will sit here on my ass and think of all of you guys out on your bikes!

After the rain!

2007-06-03T21:25:00.000-05:00

Hells Yeah!

Got word today that my Husky has a sarcoma tumor in his head. There is nothing the vet can do for him, he will have to be put down. I am very torn up from this news, he has been a good and loyal friend for 13 years. We love you Ecko and you will be missed, you will always be my best buddy!

Policing by Mountain bike

2007-05-24T20:06:00.001-05:00

Here's a couple photos from our last few days of training. Not many people get to do what they love, I am thankful everyday I can ride my mountain bike at work. These photos are from Policing by mountain bike certification. It was a fun class and great bunch of guys, We did a couple laps around Swanson, about 30 miles on city streets and a slow speed skills course which are most of the photos.

POLICE TRAINING SIR!

2007-05-21T21:43:00.001-05:00

Today was my first day of Police Mountain Bike training at Bellevue training facility. I t was fun, pretty elementary though. After class I talked another cop into a quick lap at Swanson. I was riding my wife's Ironhorse. Well I made it about 1/4 into the first lap and I broke the dérailleur hanger, dérailleur, and some spokes. needless to say I have to get some new stuff! Shucks! I will post some picks tomorrow.

Indian Caves

2007-05-19T16:00:00.000-05:00

My wife and I took advantage of the weather and headed down to Indian cave sate park for some camping. We enjoyed some T-bones, Sam Adams Summer ale and some single track. I had never been to Indian caves and I was very impressed with the park and the trails. I will Definitely Return.

HEY DUMMY!

2007-04-29T23:18:00.000-05:00

After work I took a couple quick laps at Swanson. It was pretty busy on the trails, I saw about six people riding with no helmets. I didn't see anyone's bloody brains on any rocks or hanging from branches so I guess everyone lived. I have taken several spills at Swanson, 1 super hard crash, I hit my head so hard on a tree it broke my brain bucket. I ended up with a slight concussion, a broken arm, and a sprained neck.

I sent my Fox rear shock in for warranty work in March. Today I finally got my shock back and got it on my bike. I went for a short urban ride, I sure miss the warm weather. I am super stoked to have my bike up and going, will attempt some single track tomorrow, Hope it's dry enough.

Good weather, get outside!

2007-04-02T15:40:00.000-05:00

Logged some road miles on the Keystone, Dirt trails still soggy.

WTF

2007-04-01T22:36:00.000-05:00

Well going to take my road bike in to get some new brakes, because it f^&king rains every other day, and single track is out right now.

Swanson was sweet

2007-03-19T14:13:00.000-05:00

Did a few laps around Swanson. The trail is perfect, the weather was perfect and the ride was perfect. Great weather today get out and ride some singletrack!

Swanson conditions

2007-03-17T21:41:00.000-05:00

My brother and I were going to attempt to ride Swanson, yesterday. We scouted it out and it definitely needs more dry time. There was some evidence of people riding a little prematurely and there were holes from horse hooves about 6-8" deep behind the fire training center (trashing the trail). Maybe next week it will be good. There were some spots that could be ridden, so if you must ride Swanson, ride lightly.

Great Day!

2007-03-12T22:18:00.000-05:00

70 Degrees and sunny! I had to work, but I was patrolling on my bike most of the day, it was awesome. I am so thankful to have a job that I can be outdoors and riding my bike. It's not singletrack but it's riding.

Blizzard!

2007-03-02T21:36:00.000-06:00

what the hell is going on? Tired of the fricken snow!

My New Police Cruiser!

Warmer Teperatures Coming!

2007-02-14T20:51:00.000-06:00

Oh man, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I looked at the 15 day forecast on accuweather.com, the cold looks as though it may be moving out of the area in the next week. I see temps in the 40's and low 50's. I feel like it has been forever since I have been able to ride single track. I look forward to the thaw and hope for a quick drying of the trails and streets. I know everyone is tired of being in the gym and riding the trainer. well hopefully we will ll be back on the saddle real quick.

At least I'm not in New York...

2007-02-12T22:00:00.000-06:00
