The Rest of December

...has been amazing! Lots of riding! Including first tracks on a trail here in Omaha that finally got snowed over. Strapped on a Maxxis Minion DHF on the front and a Michelin Grip'R on the rear- tubeless at about 16-17psi- and thats been working pretty good in the 4 inches or so of snow on the ground. More fun than I thought it'd be without a snow bike! At 4" the rail is completely rideable- even without enough other riders to pack it down. Each ride creates a new track in the snow so the luggier tires really help in the powdery stuff.

Other than that, Colorado Christmas vacation included ski days at A-Basin and Breckenridge and were amazing as well. Skiing those mountains just rocks- that Colorado Pass was well worth the investment. Colorado's climate is so sweet too...Christmas week I also spent 3 hours on two separate days riding Heil Ranch on the Mountain bike in 50 degree weather. It is SO hard to leave that place.

I pulled the trigger on a membership to Lifetime Fitness too. Wasn't sure about that one at first. But its been pretty sweet so far. Its helped expand my options for crosstraining when I just really dont feel like going outside at 2 degrees to workout. I'm having a lot of fun with the workouts and TJ's been setting them up great! Consistent hard training more than in full force...
