One of the big problems with Interbike is that it tend to fall bang in the middle of the aspen season. So it was with relief and excitement that I found out that I hadn't missed the whole show.


Northern New Mexico was just about prime.

Saturday was a work day. I churned demos pretty much all day and finally snuck out for a teeny little ride late that afternoon that I was far too tired to enjoy at all.

But the next day a group of us headed up to Taos to ride the South Boundary Trail.

Ted, an old friend from Austin. Considering the sheer size of the American West, it is always amazing how you can cross paths with people.
