Lebanon Hills

Pete, Mikey B, and myself hit up Lebanon for a loop last night. On the trail we met up with April and then afterwards were joined by Katie and David in the parking lot for post ride treats. Not even the Po-Po could put a damper on our little party. Though from what I gather drinking in the Lebanon lot isn't really illegal. Woot!









Suspects: Pete, Mike B, April, Katy, David, Scott

Beers: Shell's Original, Rush River Amber, Premium Grainbelt

Mystery Build Blog

Over the course of the next month I'll be posting parts for my new bike. Hopefully if all goes well I'll be posting pictures of the final product sooner than later.

There should only be one choice when it comes to your headset:



I've always ridden Salsa or XTR skewers so I decided to switch it up and try the Hopes. I really love the all metal design. No cheap plastic bushings here.



And if you have Hope skewers might as well have a matching seatpost collar.

Morbid at the Spring Cup

Numerous Morbid members were present at the Erik's Spring Cup this last weekend. Pete and I helped spearhead the registration table and I was able to get out and take some photos of the event as well.

Those photos can be seen at:

Salem Hills 29er

Hey how about this weather? On Wednesday the weather wasn't a problem, 75* and sunny! Petey and I broke out the 29er single speeds for a ride. This was the maiden voyage for the XXIX with the new Reba fork. I must say that a front suspension makes a huge difference. I love the 29er, they roll fast as hell. Someday when Minnesota stops looking like Seattle and other trails open up, we will have some MORBID Ride & BBQ's. Stay tuned.

Fork Install Day

Pete and MikeB came over to my house, to get some help installing Mike's new suspension fork on his 29er, Tuesday night. After the work was done we kicked it in the backyard with some brats, beer, and a fire.

Red Rock

Member23, Yeti sent in some shots from his trip out West to Red Rock just outside of Vegas.

He writes:

Hey Pete,

Got a good ride in this winter when we went to Vegas, and came across a great example of a huffy in it's true environment!

I'm watching MORC to see when the trails will open up, it's been along winter of sitting on the couch and drinking some good beers, but I will pay for it all this spring!

I am totally jealous, it really puts my ride at Salem to shame. It is also good to see a Huffy, busted down and shit on buy what I can only presume were wild burrows or horses. :) I know what he means about paying for those winter beers...After that ride at Salem I felt like the Huffy's friends in that picture.

Got any good rides in this winter/spring? Pics of your ride? Stories? Send them on over. See ya out there!

From snow to fall....errr spring?

The first official mountain bike trail is open in Minnesota. I took the dogs to work and then met up with Pete afterwards for a few laps. The trails were in great shape with only one twenty foot section that was still muddy. Now if the temps would just warm up a bit more so it didn’t feel so much like fall out there.

A Snowy Work of Art in Duluth, MN

I love snow. I love storms. I am hated by most people in my community for stating this. Bah. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Six inches of the fresh, cement,y manna from heaven turned this parked bicycle into a work of art.
