What a great way to end February!

Man the weather along the front range has been incredible if you are wanting to bike. We got 3 FIFO rides in this week - Chimney Gulch, White Ranch, and Matthew Winters!






I can't believe how many rides we have gotten in just this month. Great start to the year. Missed PBR me!'s Thursday Night Ride out at Buffalo Creek this week. Oh well, there will many more!




Here are a couple of recent customer's feedback regarding Amoeba's -

From Canada -
"I did get the light and already tried them on a couple of commutes to and from work. All I can say is wow. I couldn't believe how small they were. The pictures certainly don't do them justice. The light output is very good too. The craftsmanship very good as well. I ma very happy with them right now. Let's see how they will hold up in the long run. I am even concidering buying a second pair down the road. Thanks again for an awesome product. Have a nice day. Sven."

From Florida -
"Thanks Scar for a great light. I just received your box today (great packing job) and was stoked to be able to ride tonight. The spot I received was exactly what I needed and was as advertised. Nice white light with maybe a hint of blue. My light wasn't washed out by the riders behind me! The comments by the other builders on the ride was "holy sh!t that's small" I cannot adjust the camera to take beam shots, but others have done that already. Since a thread without pict's is worthless............Appreciate the light and will order another in a bit for my wife.Kyle"

Got this from rideandshoot -
"BTW team Kitchen Pass finished 17th in the 4 man open category at the 24 Hours in The Old Pueblo. Not bad for bunch of 50ish guys. 19 laps... 304 miles"

Tracy Thelen wrote up this kick ass race report of her and Nick's experiences racing inthe Duo-Coed class at the 24 Hours of Old Pueblo, you have to check it out. Incredible write-up Tracy and nice finish you two!!




Need some mtb bike themed t-shirts? gotdirt got his Cotton Quips site up and running recently. Some great looking t-shirts and 50 cents from each sale is donated to COMBA. Gotta love that.

Had a great write-up about CaridianBCT in a plastics magazine recently. Makes you feel real good about the job you love doing. We have a real strong bicycling community at CaridianBCT , check out this statement from the article- a CaridianBCT employee said, “The biggest complaint employees seem to have is that on a nice day, there aren’t quite enough bicycle racks outside.”





A little humor for today -

In honor of the mother of the octuplets, Denny's is offering a new breakfast meal: The Octo-Slam - You get fourteen eggs, no sausage, and the guy next to you has to pay the bill.

Never can be too safe

I sure hope this person can find all of the keys to all of the locks!

It is finally Friday!!!!

What do you call an Amoeba light that crosses the road, jumps in a mud puddle and crosses the road again?

A dirty double-crosser.

Sorry I couldn't resist. Had another great night ride/Amoeba demo last at Green Mountain. Had a total of 13 riders show up, about 9 of them sporting Amoeba's. The wind blowing all day long had me wishing I hadn't said I would be there. Got out of the car at IronWorks and hey, where did the wind go? Another incredible February Colorado Fronte Range evening. PBR me! mentioned on his blog http://freeyourchain.blogspot.com/ that we did +2720' of elevation gain! No wonder my quads were smoked.

I wanted to post up some race results from some Amoeba customers. Seems kind of odd posting race results in February. First one is from the 2009 Leadville Winter MTB Series http://www.cloudcitywheelers.org/Events-&-Rides.html Local Front Range SS racer Eric Cutlip finished third in the Tennessee Pass Night Jam on February 7th . Way to Eric you rock!

Been doggin it this week

Don't know if it is from travelling or just burning the candle at both ends, but I have been so tired this week! Can't drag myself out of bed in the mornings, which is very unusual for me. No ride pics, found this that I thought was cool.
