I'm taking a few days off to burn up some PTO, do some yard work, and of course go on some rides. MrsB and I headed up the valley for a ride after dropping the boy off at daycare this morning. We were planning on doing a short-ish but pretty technical ride but ended up taking a wrong turn and did a little longer one. It also had some pretty tough sections on the dh but also some great cruising.
A couple of creek crossings and some smooth singletrack brought us back to where we started after 13 Miles or so. It was a beautiful morning and we had a great time. The wrong turn ended up being a blessing in disguise After some burritos at Teocalli Tamale and we headed home for an afternoon of roto-tilling (wee!).

Nice pics and trail too!
My damn roto-tiller won't start (troy-built junior). I've replaced the plug and cleaned the whole damn thing. Any ideas?

Clean airfilter? new fuel filter? How long has the gas been in the tank? Gooed up carb from sitting for a year (carb cleaner spray)? Points making contact/good shape? Change the oil for good measure. Just the sorts of things I've had trouble with with small engines. Its almost alyays fuel/air or spark. The other parts just don't seem to wear out.

Ah. Thanks. I will try a few of those. It has been sitting without use for two years.

It also had some pretty tough sections on the dh but also some great cruising.
It started climbing on a jeep trail.
thanks for sharing, Matt. I love high country riding. ;-) You guys should really come up to Idaho this summer! I know, it's like only an 18 hour drive or so....

Thanks, I needed that. It's just hot and brown here in Phoenix. Biggest problem was I just got back from a week near Ridgway and didn't ride but one day. (I'll use the wind as an excuse rather than laziness). Actually had to start a fire on two different days. Seems I brought some cool wet weather with me from somewhere.
I'm headed back up and will be in the area from the 9th to the 18th of July. That puts me two hours from Gunnison, Durango and Grand Junction......
Anybody want to invite me for a ride that week? Beauler? Beauler?

I'll just agree with Shawn. Do what he says. I'm a computer guy and I just rented the 'tiller (and now I'm sore!).

Once we can drop the boy off with his grandparent's for an extended period we'll be taking trips like that again. That's just a long drive...

Chances are I'll be going on a few rides during that period. You could come along if you happened to be in the neighborhood. Weekends nd some week evenings are usually good. LMK.
