Hell-O-Ween 2010

The Hell-O-Ween Ride continues to grow. I'm not sure if anyone officially counted, but a guess was around 30 people.  Some sweet costumes.  The ride was a blast followed by a good breakfast at Denny's.

In addition to the Hell-O-Ween ride, the world night championship was held and a new belt holder was crowned.

Brandon and Rick also battled for a small prize to determine the winner from my small contest.  Rick won a beanie to help keep his bare head warm in the winter.

Here is a link to the pic's I took

And the winner is.........

A couple of days ago, a small contest was posted. Of the entries sent in, no one had all of the answers correct on their first try.  I found it strange that within seconds of each other, Brandon and Rick finally submitted the correct answers.  Brandon's guilt must have got to him as he admitted a collaboration with Rick to get the correct answers.  Rick quickly pointed out that the "rules were clear... there were no rules".
To determine a winner, a race between Rick and Brandon will be held--maybe tonight at the Hell-o-ween ride.  Hopefully they put a serious amount of hurt on each other.

Answers:
1. Dave B.
2. Ricky M.

A quick story about pic #11.  When we were riding the "whole enchilada" in Moab, Jason W. walked up to Brandon and asked, "Hey Brandon, what are these?"  He thought they were some new hi-tech bike part.  

A small contest

I commonly have problems with bike lust (I don't consider a it a problem or a disease, but my wife does).  Below are some pics of bikes from some of the riders from the UC lunch rides (there are some draper/CC bike(s) too). See if you can name the owners of the bikes.  EMAIL me atomicmiles at gmail.com.  I'll find a prize to the first one who emails me with all the correct answers.

The Whole Enchilada - Video

The Whole Enchilada

Monday, was a day trip to Moab to ride the Whole Enchilada.  Many of you are familiar with Porcupine Rim.  Porcupine is the end of the whole enchilada.  The Whole enchilada has starts at the top of the Lasal Mountains and gives you a full day of descending from 11,000 ft down to 4,000.

I met this fellow at the Porcupine overlook.  He was a nice guy.  I had to use some "stealth spy" skills to snag this sweet photo.  I'll give props to anyone who gets out and rides a bike, but this guy was so fashionable that our group couldn't resist some good pokes - "That body armor will be the last thing that hits the ground" - "That's not body armor, it's a bib" "He ate the whole enchilada" etc....

The ride was spectacular.  From Burro Pass, we dropped down through the pines.

Then we rode through the aspens.

And then the red desert.

Great company.  Tons of fun.  Video on the way.

Pic of the week

Check out this sweet setup.  I tweeted this pic already, but it is such a classic.
