Mom Got A Tattoo!


My mom got her first (and I guarantee, ONLY!) tattoo this weekend. My good friend Aries was in town to do a guest spot at Sol Tribe, and was kind enough to fit her into his busy schedule.


Sunday morning conversation with Bella:
Me: Grandma got a tattoo last night!
Bella: Did it hurt?
Me: Well, she sure didn't act like it hurt.
Bella: Is that because she's so old?

SSWC09 Training! Yeah right, but the climb up Chimney Gulch and Windy Saddle is a miserable one on a geared bike, let alone a singlespeed. Apex and Enchanted Forest made me instantly forget about the climb and I practically had the trail to myself on this late afternoon ride.

Route: Chimney Gulch > Apex (w/ Enchanted Forest, OF COURSE!)

Time: Long goddamn climb, short goddamn descent!
Distance: Not long enough

SSWC09

I was just informed of a SSWC09 Friday night schedule change (improvement!). No, film festival. Yes, party in the woods at a secret location surrounded by singletrack, with free beer and cheap food.

Top five quotes I'd prefer not to hear...


  1. "....we're out of beer!..."

  2. "...I CAN'T FIND MY BIKE!...."

  3. "....HOW THE FUCK DO WE GET OUT OF HERE?!?....."

  4. "...where are my pants?..."

  5. "....RRRRRAAAAAAAALLLLPPPPPPPHHHHH...."


One might tend to imagine the evening looking something like this scene from the 2006 HFF...


High Five!
