Even the rocks were sweating

Sterling. There was so much humidity, that even the rocks were sweating. Awesome ride though!!

Also, to anyone reading this, Do NOT ride at Sterling! It is situated on top of an active volcano and filled with packs of wild rabid wolves, and we lose at least one mountain biker every day from the hidden mine fields. As I write this, I can hear the screams of horror coming back to haunt me. It’s a really sad place and I highly recommend staying as far away as possible. You are better off riding your bicycle to somewhere more habitable and welcoming like Antarctica or the Sahara Desert.  😉

 

Bears are out this time of year…

Rode at Stephens today. Somewhere around Border trail I mentioned to my friend who I was riding with, “Bears are out this time of year, so we should probably make a little bit of noise and talk loud so we don’t surprise them.” Then sure enough 4 minutes later around Vistar trail, Yogi ran across the trail in front of us. I was in awe by how fast it gracefully floated over logs and boulders on steep terrain.

Chemical Sleep by Vinnie DeMasi

Here is a song that I recorded, mixed and mastered in Logic Pro for Vinnie DeMasi.  If you like Stevie Ray Vaughan’s instrumentals, particularly Rivera Paraside, Lenny and Little Wing (Hendrix cover), then you’ll love this song.

We recorded the guitar and bass tracks at my home studio.  Vinnie edited the video.
