Good job getting back in the saddle SB.

I have been a Arizona single track rider for 20 yrs now. Before that I rode skinny tire, but with the way people drive, I'll take my chances on the trail. Nothing like getting out into the AZ desert for a climb and decent, its a rush. Arizona offers some of the sweetest single track trails, from the desert/foothills, slick rock in Sedona and pines up in Flagstaff. During the summer heat, we have a local state park that stay open late for night rides once a month. Strap on a HID/LED lamp and the trail takes on a whole new look. Very exciting!

I've been on a couple Utah rides that were an adventure, but never Colorado. She's on my bucket list. There are Hut rides starting in Aspen down to Vail that sound like fun. Also Whistler Mountain BC Canada is on that list, that place looks intence.

But be prepared for a addiction more costly that kilts... very easy to wrap up $2-3000+ in a rig. But when your flying down the side of a mountain by the seat of your lycra, how can you put a cost on quality equipment returning you home safe.

Enjoy your trek and keep it up!
