Does it ever end?

Feb 8

This weather is a little too much for me. Luckily I am heading to AZ to trail ride with JP and Loo for 4 days starting on Thursday. But back to soggy, wet East TN for now. Devin and found snow just above Caryville on Saturday. Then on Sunday we broke Terry in right at Duncan’s loop on his new KTM 200. In Terry form he was pinned right off and it won’t be long before he is up front leading the charge.

Friday Meghann and I got a new LG LED 42″ full HD TV to replace the recently dead rear projection. Then on Sunday we added Apple TV to the mix.

Rode Norris to get in my require interval training and boy was it wet. There was still quite a bit of slush and snow and where it was free of snow it was a river. My glasses last half of the descent down White Pine. Yuck. This weather pattern has to break at some point right?

Icycle 2010!

Jan 31

Posted by Doug Ferguson in Biking

Another Icycle in the books and this one was a true Icycle. Heavy snow and ice pounded the TN Valley and NC mountains, which caused the attendance to be really low. But as usual it was really fun to see friends, drink beer, and do a night dh run. This year British Ben’s light went out right before his run. So in typical Icycle fashion we did our run together off just my light. He had a mechincal and had to pull over so I finished by myself. Managed a third place and won some beer money.

The drive back was exciting to say the least. The NC road was scrapped and salted. The TN side was 1/2″ sheet of ice with s ow on top.

This was a solo ride on Sunday in warm conditions. It was a balmy 29 degrees. Saturday’s ride was 15-20 depending on elevation and time.

Lastnight I stopped by the skatepark on the way home. There was still piles of snow in the bowls and ice on the decks. I think that was why it was the thinnest crowd I have ever seen there. Right before I left I think there was only 8 people, including myself. So I took the opportunity to try and learn the spine. After watching 1spdbrian hit I I thought I would give it a go. At times it was ugly and I cleared it to flat. Other times I would hang up my rear wheel, but sometimes I would make it look OK.

Meghann’s birthday was on Friday and we spent the day together outside despite the cold temps. We ate lunch at the Tomato Head in Maryville. Then did some shopping at Little River Trading Post. Hiked a bit above Tremont and finished the day with dinner at the Sunspot with friends.
