Love the little BMX with dual bottle cages.

What is it, like, 150 degrees there?

Humidity???
Great shots, I really love that area. I also like the shot of the kid, strange setup on his bike.
Is that a huge slice of mozzeralla on that sandwich? MMMMM awesome.
Uh, what is the story behind the one-shoe fix-a-F--- guy?

would you believe feta? good thing i love feta.
matt thinks it's good luck to take a shoe and sock off when inserting tubes.











actually he had to use his sock (twice) to wipe the stans off his tire so he could boot the tears he got in the sidewall. which enabled us to heckle him mercilessly.

Nice! Wow feta, now the cucumber makes more sense; is that your creation?

A little heckling is healthy.

That is so cool! The desert is so beautiful to us Easterners who've got nothing but trees and grassy fields and pavement to look at. Temperatures in the 90s with high humidity is just another day in the Southeast.

Those trails look brutal. I don't know how you ride on them without shocks. Of course, I ride my mountain bike about once a year, so what would I know?

What's with taking off your shoes to fix a flat?

Off road, off dirt, off sock all in one thread.

It doesn't get much better than that!
