Another Glorious Day at Granite Mountain
Last Wednesday, a co-worker and I headed up to Prescott AZ to hit some of my favorite trails. My descriptions can't capture the beauty and serenity of this ride, but maybe my pictures can.
My co-rider was a bit out of shape, and needed to rest for 5-10 minutes out of every 20 minutes of riding, which was brutal...but it gave me time to take more pics than i normally would, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise....
But in actuality, we rode for 4 hours and only went 16.5 miles, which is slow-as-fuck even for a technical trail system.
Either way, it was one of the last beautiful days before snowfall, and a bad day riding beats just about anything else anyways...

How Do You Get To Work?
Its with great excitement that we report to you that 69% of our readers, 80 people to be exact, commute to work on a bicycle. How about that? Whether its the luxury of living close enough to your job to be able to bike, or the luxury of not being a lazy ass motherfucker to work your muscles in the AM, you bike-to-workers making it happen. 4 of you ride your moto to your job - we admire that too. Walking to your job is A-OK as well, 7% of you are lucky enough for that. 17% of yall either are too cool for school/poll, you're a trust fund baby, either still live with your mama and she cooks you all your meals or you're broke as a joke. Even if you sell some trees here and there, fall back style, its still a job, so don't trip. We here at C2D give a big round of thumbs up to everyone who participates in our polls, and to everyone who loves to bike to work. Me personally? Every single day I bike to work, even in the rain (as long as its above 25F).
Good job everyone!
Good job everyone!
Good Job!

FullMoon Drunken Gutter Ride (tm)
no pics, no vids, just a drunken summary of the last 2 hours....
in relevance to 2 recent c2d polls, the nite started with a quick beer slam, followed by the discovery of a flat tire. which resulted in another quick beer slam, a repair, and then then the ride:
we had monsoon rains in AZ this morning. that doesn't mean much to you city folk back east but for us desert rats it means the most intense thunderstorm you've ever seen in a city with jack-shit for drainage. also the temp dropped to an insane low (mid '70s!!!!) so after work and a quick tire fix and pounding a few beers i hit the street. stayed mostly on paved trails/familiar turf cuz the dirt trails wash out after a storm.
highlights: passing a group of teens smoking reefer and not having the balls to ask for a hit...chilling on the bridge where i busted my ankle 2 years ago...wishing my cell phone camera could capture the glory of a full moon AZ nite...various beer chuggin stops....DJ Csick mixes on Ipod...
in summary:
pre ride = 2x Pyramid Hefeweizen
ride = 2x Becks 16oz
post ride = 1x Mickeys 24oz (+ 2nd chillin in fridge)
due to the geographic discrepancies i can't really relate this to all y'all, but just think of a super dope ride you did and it was like that. plus beer. and hiphop.
PS i'm at the height of drunken-ness post ride. fuck yeah.
