Sort of 1st-timer:
135 days after my mishap, I took my first MTB pedal.....and it was GOOD.
Plans were made by Mally to visit friends in GJ/Fruita, which coincided with both
FFTF & the time I felt almost comfortable to ride dirt. Hopped outta the car on top of the
Ribbon & got picked up at the bottom. Saw 11 others, 7 of which were with in 100m of lower parking lot. Then on Sat, went to Loma & ran into Greg, so we rode some trails together. Fun times!!
The mornings consisted of dirt & the afternoons of wine, mead, port & restaurants.
Bin707 had some tasty vittles for a great price. Went for a scenic drive on the way out of town.

| 1 of the 2 climbers we saw was just about to clear the top ledge. No freakin' way I'd ever do that! |
 |
| Pipe Organ rock. |
As for this, I am a true 1st-timer:
 |
| Bought some tubes... |
 |
| ...filed away till they fit together.... |
 |
| ...burnt a bunch of metal till it stuck together.... |
 |
| ...filed away as much crap as I could. |
 |
| Finding my CS length so I could hack off the extra tubeage. |
 |
| Precision equipment in use to calculate BB drop/height. |
Glad to hear you're all healed up!
