November and Sunny!!

For those of us lucky enough to live on Colorado's front range, we have been blessed with another great fall. With the mild days of late summer lingering on, there has been plenty of time to enjoy the great outdoors before they are carpeted with the chilly white layer of winter. Thanks to sunshine and temperatures in the 60's and 70's, mountain biking this fall in Fort Collins has been what I would call ideal. With the addition of a new Yeti 575 to my quiver of bikes, riding lately has been eye opening and every day on the bike is a new adventure.



We have been riding bigger lines, as well as enjoying the scenery around Fort Collins, from turkey and deer, to blue sky's and endless views.





Here are a couple short clips of me and my buddies riding, there is Brad Teets making a tough turn on Spring Creek, as well as Tod Castor and yours truly ripping down a technical section on Sawmill.

More Bike For Your Buck!!
