Santa Fe in September...

Quoted message said:

I'm leaving the comfy confines sea-level of Brooklyn for alien,
cactussy, and elevated Santa Fe, NM next month between the 15th and
19th.
Anybody wanna laugh as I wheeze removing the bike from the car, and go
into acute hypoxia within the first 15 minutes on the trail?
Also -- I may rent-a-rig. Any suggestions on shops? A decent hardtail
would do.
TIA!

Just spoke to a guy named David Bell from 'Melo Velo'. He's got Haro
8.2's (130mm long travel hardtail with Avid mechs) for $29/day or $75
for 3 days. It would be my first foray into long travel and discs.
Doubt I'll be winning any x-country races on it, but it looks decent.

Never thought of Santa Fe as catussy ... here's something going on
that weekend, and it isn't far (by New Mexico standards).

It's cactussy compared to a place with no (outdoor) cactus!

Wish I could be there for that, Gordo. Get in touch out of band and
I'll point you to the Good [censored].

Alien? Illegal alien, maybe. I'd like to be a witness, but have other
plans during that time.

Isn't NM nicknamed "The Cactus State"? (Sorry, got that off Google.)
That probably rings as silly in your ears as people who call nyc "The
Big Apple".
Thanks for the leads. I'm looking into them.

You're kidding right? That is Telluride Blues and Brews weekend. We'll
bring the bikes, but probably won't get any hard riding in.
