Alright, so what is this? A shameless appeal to the makers of Santa Fe Pale Ale for sponsorship money for a fledgling race team? Damn... caught out. Gotta stop being so transparent. But hey, if it works, it works.
Actually, the reason I'm posting this is because I shamefully haven't done a bit of riding at all lately and therefore have nothing to talk about. But I did find the time to make this little mandala showing my fervent devotion to the brand -- the beer that started it all. "What?" you say, a mountain biker inspired by a beer? As shocking as this is for some of you, I must report it happens more often than you think.
I remember it like yesterday... winding through the pine trees on my mountain bike in the Enchanted Forest of north-western New Mexico. And when the riding was done, there was beer, and it flowed freely for 24 hours (more or less). No really -- I finished my single-lap, 16-mile ride and had a free beer provided by Santa Fe Brewing Company. And it was during that weekend that the very seed of the kernel that later became the idea for High Desert Race Team began to form.
Well anyway, with any luck, SFBC will be at 24HITEF this year again and I'll ride many more laps than just one. Ok, maybe three. Alright, seven tops. I really don't think I could do more than that. But that's the plan.
Meanwhile, I'd like to report that no beers were harmed by being wasted (not properly consumed) in the making of this High Art. It was an idea born in the long cold winter down here in the south, where we think winter means "less than 50 degrees" and "art" is something you do with beer bottle caps. Meh... what are ya gonna do? If I get so much as one free beer for posting that photo, then I'll be a "professional artist". Imagine that...
And if I don't, then I enjoyed a nice afternoon down at the river, a beautiful sunset and time spent watching my two dogs act like lunatics running all over the place. I'm a winner either way as they say.
