Where Have All The Cyclists Gone?

Our dearly beloved "Schultzy"...host to dozens and dozens of mountain bikers on any given spring, summer, and autumn day wears - in my opinion - her most beautiful, her most seductive wardrobe of all right now; in the middle of a most graceful winter...
c'mon with me my Noble Teammates, as i break trail up to the Lincoln Logs and back...



...the section just before the Aspen Roller...even three days after the storm, no outdoor athlete had even broken trail! Schultzy was a mere wrinkle beneath a heaving mass of snow...


...betcha you cannot even tell what part of Schultzy this picture was taken!



...Lincoln Logs? what Lincoln Logs?



How do you know it's winter in Flag? when it takes you 2.5 hours round trip to get from the Schultz trail head to the Lincoln Logs and back!

Get off the bike and onto the skis or snowshoes! it's BEAUTIFUL and GREAT CROSS TRAINING RIGHT NOW!

Sick Ride

Namaste Noble Two-Wheelin' Warriors!

i trust your off season is 'cranking' right along and you all focused on restoring some deep fiber fitness and/or working on your 'weak links' before the pre-season. it has been GREAT to see a few of you in my
HIGH PERFORMANCE YOGA
classes, yet sadly, this IDEAL training for your off season is still being ignored by most of you...just remember as i wrote in one of my first books, "you never get a second chance at your off season!"

on a different note;
though i ain't much of a 'gravity dude' on a MTB, as a former ski jumper i DO appreciate the art. a student of mine from Pasadena sent this along to me...
i figured you all might enjoy the 'ride'...

Makes Secret Trail Look Easy

Off Season Fun and Focus...oh, and WAAAY Better Fitness!

tired of leaving the high carbon footprint traveling to Sedona and even further south?

burning all that fossil fuel doesn't sit well with your spirit, does it?....i mean, really, just to train?

why not mix it up?

like Gary does! chances are, Gary is faster than you on a bike...and after an Off Season of doing my HIGH PERFORMANCE YOGA CLASSES AND some nordic skiing with me?

what?

you think he is somehow gonna be SLOWER than ever before?!!?

i think not...

and, in this case...
i happen to know...




Gary BEFORE his Skate Ski Clinic with me, and...



...Gary about 30 minutes into his Skate Ski Clinic with me...look at that weight shift! look at that Hang Arm! he's already looking like Vegaard! yeah baby!
