I miss you, Captain Jack

If you live in Minnesota, a trainer ride is inevitable, if you want to be prepared for Spring Racing.

When confronted with the all too often moment of deciding to cut a one-hour indoor ride in half, I try to remember why I ride bikes. Thinking of Captain Jack’s trail in CO Springs provides a fair amount of motivation.

My BMC Team Elite 29er hard tail was the perfect package for the free flowing, hands-off the brakes Colorado descending. I am also working on a complete review of my newest mountain bike, the TE29.

Below is a video of Upper and Lower Captain Jacks; my hands down favorite trail. Conditions were ideal; a light dusting of snow over dry, unfrozen ground provided a fast rolling, twenty grit worth of confidence trail.

Enjoy this single-track video while escaping the Minnesota wind chill.

Thank you for reading… and watching!

One last note, a shout-out to my BMC teammate Kerry Werner who is our 2012 Collegiate D1 USA National Cyclocross Champion! Congratulations K-Dubz!
