Oh, that... and I rode the Monarch Crest trail this past weekend, and it was the muddiest, funnest, mostest awesomest 30ish miles of mountain bike heaven that I have experienced in quite some time.
We started our ride pretty late, around noon, with the temps around 43* or so. I was the only one that "packed for the ride" bringing along my large Vaude pack; with two jackets, winter gloves, foot covers, fleece vest, tools, compass, the works. I've been on epic high country (the ride starts at 11,500' and climbs from there) rides in the past and like to be prepared for anything. The crew was clowning me for lugging a 35# pack up the hill on my 575, but I silenced them bny tellin' 'em that by the end of the day I would be the only person on the ride who was both dry and warm. I was right!
Over the next 30 miles we'd splash through countless mud puddles, wallow in sticky, muddy trail, ride downstream in a foot deep creek, bounce over hundreds of sharks fin rocks, roots, and other stuff. The views from Monarch are some of the best: looking out over the Continental Divide for miles around, above treeline. Well, the views were good when we weren't blocked in by fog. Fog? Wait a minute, those are freaking CLOUDS at this elevation! We got snowed on, sleeted on, rained on, and hailed on.
When we got back, we grilled flank steak and burgers over a huge fire, and drained a keg of Great Divide HotShot. A bottle of Crown was passed around a couple times, and we settled in to a mellow groove with the evening's festivities.
Not a bad bachelor party, all in all. Did I mention that? Yeah... this was all for a good friends upcoming nuptuals. A welcome change from the usual strippers, booze, and debauchery, I must say. Good friends, great trails, tasty beer.

72 freakin hours holy sh!t did you spend the weekend in the middle of Alaska??.I bet you did not get to many babes this weekend huh...
Stinkin' is good.
It's okay... many babes want to be carnal with sanjuro. Perhaps it is because he is such a premium dancer?
or maybe because he wears manpris?
Well when you are a big time sexy bitch what else should you be wearing....
Dude. You owe me a Titan. You can pay me next week at White Ranch.
