A Mooseknuckler Approved ride happened this morning. It was one of those last minute things that gets initiated and organized in minutes thanks to social media and text messages.
This weekend was supposed to be the Alliance’s trip to the Whole Enchilada but due to forces way within our control, it didn’t happen. As an alternative to sitting at home and doing nothing, except maybe blogging, we got out and rode the Creek which is Little.
The guilty parties were Shelby, Fixie, Prattipus, the Berg and myself.
We woke up at the ass crack of dawn which is the metric version of meeting at Dave Nice’s house at 6 am. I’m not sure what the conversion ratio is but that’s how I was told it worked out. This also meant that I would be getting up at 4:30. I haven’t conquered the urge to eat breakfast, shower and feel good before leaving the house. So that’s how I roll, getting up even earlier than really needed.
My first thoughts when I stepped out the door this morning were, “Shit, it’s kind of nippy.” This is quite odd seeing that we are currently in July, the metric version of Fucking Hot. When we arrived at the trailhead around 7 it was also a bit nippy and the ride was quite pleasant, temperature wise. I think this maybe the first time I have ridden the creek in July (Fucking Hot for you Canadians). Which is one of the nice things about Super Great, when the rolling is nice you can ride the Creek which is Little in July.
And nobody is there…
The ride was nice. Pictures were taken at random and strategically chosen locations. There were shovels needed for all the bull shit spewed at the rest breaks and apparently Fixie is in good shape and has lots of energy after getting thrown under the bus by Grey Hound on his Divide Ride. We got some heavy breathing going on a few times. We also spent some time screwing around on the rocks and attempting to make ourselves feel like we are good riders.
The visual evidence.
That should cover it. If you want different angles and such you might want to check out the links above. I’m pretty sure this may end up being the most blogged about ride of the year, unless no one else posts it and then it won’t be…
Either way it was good ride.
Ride more.
