Here’s my favorite so far:
There’s a ratty old lounge chair right out of frame for you to sit and enjoy the art.[/img]
It’s a 40D with some pricy glass, so when I’m on a bike and it’s with me it’s in my huuuuge bag inside a pelican case. (or very occasionally in my hands… http://ckdake.com/gallery/misc/me/SNC10439.JPG.html )
My mountain biking bag is a camelbak mayhem which doesn’t quite have the room for the camera and any padding, and I tend to be bleeding somewhere when I’m done riding so it’s not a risk I’m willing to take 😀
I am looking for a new mountain biking bag and Ergon sponsors my team, so I’m probably going to give one of these a try: http://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/product … am-edition next time we can put an order in.
(Hmm. I have "notify me when a reply is posted" checked but don’t get these notifications any more?)
GoldenGoose: thanks! I wish mountain biking was the kind of sport that would let me drag my nice camera along 😀
steve32300: The bike was pretty awesome. Very light, handled very well, fit like my IF hardtail with minimal adjustments, and I had no complaints with the bike at all. The 4 days following riding were sitting in a hotel at a conference so it wasn’t to bad, and I was back out riding again in Atlanta as soon as I got home. Heck, the following wednesday I even got bumped up a category at the velodrome here due to sweeping all the C races, so perhaps the altitude was a good thing.
And I’m back! Here’s how things went down:

Soon as Jeff approves em, there will be maps of all the trails from my GPS traces 😀
Looks like I’m renting a sweet carbon hardtail from http://mellowvelo.com/ for 4 days, This map: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0966550897 is highly recommended and will be here tomorrow, and hopefully when it’s all done I will have some GPS traces of Dale Ball, Windsor, Chamisa, and perhaps one or two more. If the altitude doesn’t stop me…
I’ve done the searching around as well, there just seem to be a lack of reviews on a lot of these things. Perhaps I’m just spoiled by the amount of user-created content on the trails in GA 😀
There definitely are some great sounding things near Taos, but it’s a long drive some Santa Fe and I won’t be able to make it that far without meeting someone that wants to go there with me. Hmm.
I rode up to Roswell and then down with that group. 3rd try with the new helmet cam prove that watching road biking is pretty boring:
