Bruce's Bike Blog: Navajo Ambush! or Riding the Cortez, Delores, Mancos Loop
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2015/02/navajo-ambush-or-riding-cortez-delores.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Or Riding the Cortez, Delores, Mancos Loop. On Colorado Hwy 185 from Delores on my way to Mancos. Whoa - I live just an hour drive from Bike Heaven, Gentle Readers of This Blog. Okay, Shiprock, New Mexico - well, not a great place to live. I miss my clean mountain air back in Arizona at The College in Tsaile - but not but a short drive over into Colorado - and I am back up in the mountains, and have many riding options! Man, I am doing some climbing! That is Sleeping Ute Mount...

Bruce's Bike Blog: August 2014
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 14, 2014. Here is re-post about a ride with Cal Melick, back in Lawrence, Kansas. This made me very sad when I got the official news this morning that Cal was killed. This is a road we all know, and a road where often I'd be out riding, and I'd see Cal - and we'd wave and he'd say, "Ahoy Bruce! Thanks Cal - Ride in Beauty. Thursday, August 14, 2014. Links to this post. Monday, August 11, 2014. Sleepy - but not tired. Were you walking up stairs? I've been trying to eat a bit more protein ...

Bruce's Bike Blog: New New Mexican
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-new-mexican.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Around November, 2014, almost a year to the day of my arrival at The College in Tsaile, Arizona, I was promoted and asked to move to the New Mexico Campus of The College - so I've just basically moved over the mountain to the NM side from the AZ side. They will arrive in April - so I'll have a bit of time to try and ride from the Park entrance up to where the Cliff Dwellings are - a very scenic 20 mile ride - but will be too busy come the peak season. If you have done this r...

Bruce's Bike Blog: Fall Colors of Canyon de Chelly
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2014/10/fall-colors-of-canyon-de-chelly.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Fall Colors of Canyon de Chelly. The morning started out pretty cold up in the Chuska Mountains, Gentle Reader of This Blog. I waited a bit for things to warm up, but as I started down the mountain, a pretty fierce headwind kicked up - Winter is on the way! The headwind was brutal - don't I look like I'm having fun? Getting set for the fast down-hill into Chinle. I pulled into the Visitor Center at the Monument - this fellow gave me a tired but friendly sigh. If you visit the C...

Bruce's Bike Blog: July 2014
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Bruce on the Bike. Breakfast, Canyon de Chelly. The Mighty Trek is in the shop, so I'm out on the Titanium LeMond - an awesome bike! I'm not sure but I believe the LeMond may have a compact cassette? No matter - I've been looking at my times riding down to the first pull-out (Mummy Cave) and I noticed that my average speed is up from 13 - point something to 14.9 - my fastest time! I am happy - some improvement. I see ponies often. This ride, I saw wild ponies when suddenly the...

Thursday, July 09, 2015. Eagle Wing Rides Again. Eagle Wing and John. I made a trip down to Tucson - had work and things to do and really just wanted to escape the Rez for awhile and see friends. Now it's a 9 and half hour drive, and I got to tell you - it's a long long day driving. But I got some comp-time, mainly from a few weekends of working with a consultant for The College, so I ended up with four full days in Dog Mtn. Wing is back in the saddle I'm happy to report, Gentle Readers of This Blog!

Bruce's Bike Blog: June 2014
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 22, 2014. Summer in the High Country. The Wind has been fierce - it kept me inside after work, and on the weekends. First Day of Summer and the Wind has died down - so really need this time to get out on the bike and ride, Gentle Readers of This Blog. Last time I think I rode was June 6th, in Bozeman! A few weeks ago, a fire started at a camp ground up here on the Reservation. Somebody was careless, and then the wind really got to blowing! I waved and all waved and beeped their horns as well...

Bruce's Bike Blog: September 2014
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 14, 2014. Glass and Bones of Canyon de Chelly. You could ride into the Canyon if your brakes fail - ha ha. So while I had a few cups of coffee and a bit of breakfast, I let the Sun start up the Day. Needed long-sleeves this morning. Click to see bigger image. Some tourists did arrive as I was walking out of the trees from the edge with my bike. For a second they looked puzzled - did I ride up from the bottom of the Canyon or something? There is a nice lookout that you can walk around on...

Bruce's Bike Blog: April 2014
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. Sunday Ride in the Nat'l Park. A warm Easter Sunday. Finally, Gentle Readers of This Blog - finally I get out on the Mighty Trek! Saturday was a bust as it rained all day. The forecast called for more rain Easter Sunday - however whatever it was that came through was gone, and now things were clear! The temps were quickly climbing so with haste I got the bike ready and then set out right at 10 am - 45 degrees - and I'm happy to report NO WIND! Still, while climbing in a headwind, ...

Bruce's Bike Blog: Post Card from Tucson 2015
http://triplebranch.blogspot.com/2015/01/post-card-from-tucson-2015.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Post Card from Tucson 2015. After some time off the bike, back in the saddle! The blog has been inactive for a bit - this part due to my move to New Mexico. Over MLK Holiday, I was able to make a quick trip down to Tucson, enjoy the sunshine and the saguaro, and catch up with my Old School Chum, Le Tigre! Really have missed the bike, and missed the blog - so much happening! A trip down to Tucson would not be complete without a ride! Yeah because I'm feeling a bit sick and flu ca...
