Of course its easy to get a Big Phat W when the competition doesn't show up! All I had to do was finish the race, which I did at a very mellow pace while practicing my climbing and descending skills on the more technical parts.

A Big Phat W
Yup, that is right. Two weekends ago it was a Big Phat DNF. This past weekend, it was a Big Phat W.

Ajusco with Friends
Almost every weekend I drive about 30 minutes outside the city to go mountain biking with my friend Lenny and Endo at a park on the mountain Ajusco called Las Llantas (or San Nicolas). However, the majority of my friends have never been there. So this past weekend I took Barby and Daniel to Las Llantas and we hiked up to the Virgen where
there is an incredible view of the city. It happened to be a very clear day but as Barby looks out over the city she just can't exactly get her head around the craziness she lives in.
They recently constructed this new building, which I believe will be bathrooms. Its pretty darn cool but the coolest part is
the solar panels on the roof. I am a sucker for any building that uses alternative energy, especially wind and solar.
They also constructed a watch tower. Here is Daniel on the observing platform with El Pico de la Aguila of Ajusco behind him.
Finally, what would an outdoor adventure be without a picture of Endo and I? Here we are looking up at Daniel and Barby.

A Big Phat DNF
Last Sunday was yet another mountain bike race. It was a sweet course and reminded me a lot of riding the Ned trails. But I just didn't have it in me. My lower back was killing me, it was pouring rain, and I am a whimp. So I pulled out after 2 of 3 laps. Oh well, you win some, you lose some and you don't finish others.
But I did sport my new socks Micki gave me while she was visiting me from Boulder. I was representin' big time! There is another race this Sunday. I hope my back is feeling better and my whimpiness is gone cause La Campeona de la Montaña, DF is on the line.
