When I’m not hitting brewers games, sweating booze, or looking for things women can put by their boobs, I’m usually biking or thinking about biking. Or talking about snowboardering gear. Speaking of which what is everyone riding this season?

I heard The Crystal Falcon is going head-to-toe burton from 2003. Looking forward to it.

Anyway, I use the term Mountain Biking rather loosely here in SE Wisco. But it’s still the best way to spend your summer months. The past couple weeks I’ve been dorking off at Crystal MethRidge.  In the Wintar this place is a ski area. And since all the rad-ass western mountain resorts have mountain biking so does this place. But as snowboarding in Wisconsin is to snowboarding at a real resort, so is biking in Wisconsin. That said behold the MethRidge:

I’m going to make it all the up this, and then all the way back down. A couple of times. It’s a good workout pedaling up. The traverses make it about 5x longer getting to the top, so that makes me feel more like I’ve accomplished something. Then at the top you can see all the way to the downtown Beer City.  What’s funny is that right now some dude is in his office downtown saying “ I can see all the way to Crystal MethRidge. Didn’t that place used to be a landfill?”

I’m still kind of hazy on the mtn biking scene in Milwaukee, so I might kick out some inaccurate information at anytime. I think I parked the Silver Spurt at the entrance to the Alpha Trails cruised through the woods for a few minutes before actually arriving at the Ridge. Then you pop out of the woods climb the hill, and drop down the backside. About halfway down the hill you can get on a gravel path to take  you over to a tight little wooded section that is rather Jurassic Park-ish, but with fewer velociraptors.

This trail kicks you back out onto the gravel trail that you can take back to the hills and you get to cruise the rest of the way down. Or you can skip the Isla Nubar shit and just go all the way down immediately. Then it’s back into the woods and heading back to the Alpha Trails.

Fuck that sounds sad. I cannot wait for Ray’s Bike Park to open up. I also need to start traveling with my bike because I’m getting bored with this hill being the steepest part of my ride.
