So, you know that one spot where the horse jumps are down in the huge Greensfelder valley? Right there where you’re cruising on the crushed gravel Eagle Valley trail where it curves left and you wonder where that single-turning-to-doubletrack goes off to the slight right?

I’ve finally ridden enough on the Superfly 100 to spew my thoughts on the 2×10 drivetrain. I know this isn’t about trail building or advocacy but, hey, it’s about bikes and how they move so I figured what the hell, this blog can use all the editorial content it can get.

Recycle bike tires (50 cents ea) and tubes (free) while helping raise money for a local non-profit by dropping your used up rubber hoops off at these fine establishments:

On the last riding day, GORC headed up to Garcia Park and offered three ride scenarios; Ride from there down South Boundary to town (11 miles); Ride Jaracita as a loop and ending on South Boundary back at Garcia Park (14 miles); or kill it and ride the Jaracita loop and then take South Boundary all the way to town (31 miles).

Matt, Tom, Lisa and Mari headed down to Santa Fe on Thursday to ride the famed Winsor trail just north of town. The trail drops 3,400 feet in ten miles and consistently drops – no climbing in the middle of the ride.

For the rest day, Matt and Lisa headed down to Santa Fe to check out the Tent Rocks National Monument. The rest of the house went white water rafting on the Rio Grande in Taos but I’d been wanting to check out Tent Rocks since last year.

The South Boundary trail is Taos’ trail gem. It’s the equivalent of going to Salida and riding the Monarch Crest or Durango for Kennebac Pass.

We rode Horse Thief yesterday near the Gorge and are heading up to ride the legendary South Boundary trail today. I’ll keep this post short but hopefully you can see how the day went with this photo montage.

We’ll get more action shot photos soon but I (seamonkey) haven’t had time to gather everyone’s camera cards.

After a hard night of driving the GORC crew stopped by The Pantry on Old Route 66 (Cerrillos Rd.) for breakfast. We all drove over and inundated Mellow Velo with questions and window shopping
