3 hrs of relaxing in the parking lot waiting for my front skewer to arrive. Not a bad place to be, gotta love the mountains!

Big Schloss Tour stage day will be only be a 3 hr ride today
Everyone else may get 7-8 hrs
The 3 should be fine after the fast 3 wrecked me yesterday
It brutal to try and sit in on Jeremiah Bishops SVBC points ride
Carpenter kept the pace high when the fools weren't attacking
There was a lot of tomfoolish trickery going up the road and any given moment
Hope I get a chance to try again next week!

Mike Capraro, Susan Musante and Sue George are chainsawing and clearing the Long Mountain Trail today
The LMT is a great drop in to Trout Pond

It is also a trail used to get to some great camping facilities if you are riding through on the Virginia Mountain Bicycling Trail
What a ride!

Spring like road riding in Feb in Virginia

Amazing evening ride in the Shenandoah Valley last night
The moon is about full
The air remained warm after the sun set
Looks like a few more days of this
YEA!!

Sierra La Laguna - Baja Bicycle Crossing

The crossing was super hard. There were some nice singletrack moments
when we weren't shouldering our bicycles up super steep sections of
trail.

Baja bicycle crossing of the Sierra La Laguna - what an adventure!

The Baja crossing did happen. It took Todd and I 8 hrs to get to the
singletrack downhill to Todo Santos. BRUTAL!

Vela Baja - The winter trip to paradise!

The Vela Windsurf Resort in Los Barriles, Mexico on the East Cape of Baja is the place to go and relax (train) to get ready for a new year. SMT is heading back down to ride with Todd Simmler and hang out with the Vela Baja staff again.

SMT will be escaping the cold from Jan 30 to Feb 6 in the dreamy and rehabilitating dry Baja heat to tour with long time guide and friend Todd Simmler at the Vela Windsurf Baja camp. Todd started his illustrious guide career here on the east-coast back in the 1990's. Yes, that means he has SKILLS! They have created an amazing trail system on the East Cape. These mountain trails are sure to challenge and delight as you climb up into the 5,000 ft. mountain range right from the coast.

After a solid days ride up in the mountains you can enjoy some fish tacos. You will be tempted by thoughts of a siesta but it's impossible to miss out on the warm relaxing sunshine. With the full package deal you can use the windsurfing gear (if you do that sorta thing) or sea-kayaks, stand up paddle boards, snorkeling gear and bicycles to cruise the coastline.

Check out the pictures. If you are real curious about the good times check out the video's below of snorkeling and mountain biking too.

Here are a few picture's



Check out this video of the snorkeling - fast forward to :35 is you have a short attention span



This clip has some nice rocky trail that grooves back and forth



This video is of a thin hard trail that wasn't quite finished yet

Gotta drop in towards the daily dose of fresh taco's!
