Meandering Velonauts

30 Seconds to Mars is giving away copies of “The Ride” music video on a number of sites around the web. I downloaded a copy through iTunes last night for FREE! Not only are they one of my favorite bands, but the video is filled with bikes. So even if your not a fan 30 seconds to mars, download the video and enjoy watching people on bikes.

I didn’t upload this video, so special thanks to axcx619, who already got a copy up.

Temperatures have been low through holiday weekend. Perfect to keep the ground frozen and snow sticking to the ground. On Saturday, we saw enough snow to cover the roads. I decided to have a quick ride around the community. The quick ride turned into a epic spin around every part of Founders and the Ranch. 

While riding out to the point I found Jared’s tracks. I tried to follow what I thought were crosscountry ski tracks, but ended up doing a bit of pushing my bike through the open space.

After playing in the snow for nearly 2 hours, I was out of water and starting to get cold. I headed in, but not without one more pass through the natural trail behind my house.

Its pretty amazing the amount of riding you can do in your own community. Sorry no pictures, its my 2010 resolution to start packing a camera.

It snowed Friday night. The next morning the trails were covered with fresh snow. Jared and Matt (from Alpha Bicycles) joined me for the ride. Ridgeline saw three purpose built snow bikes that day. Not a sole on the trail, but the three of us. We stopped for a few minutes, so I could adjust my face mask for the downhills. Jared took a few pictures of us and the trail. Great photos, enjoy.
