Welcome to The Dark Side

Thanks for visiting my personal blog!  This is the place where I publish photos and ramblings that don't quite fit in with the image of my "professional blog" - AKA "The Light Side".  Whatever that means.  You can view all my professional wedding, portrait, and business photography portfolios by clicking the 'Portfolio' link above.

I’ve designed the best cruiser ever

Ellsworth Ride

Fellow Boulder Blogger Rob G likes my Ellsworth Cruiser. He wrote about is on his Rumblestrip Blog. He thinks its the best cruiser ever. Hey, who am I to disagree? But more notably, he also bashed the Cruiser Ride, saying, “it has become another bad example of Boulder Elitism”. What he wrongly did is accuse everyone in the whole group as being the same. What he rightly did is call out the attitude expressed by *some* people in that group.

Don’t flame him any more, he’s been straighted out, and encouraged to come out to the NEW cruiser ride. I am calling it, Boulder Cruiser Night. Everyone still cruises, just not in the same intersection at the same time. I am going to write more details to come. But in the meantime, know that cruising is not dead. It is just in a transition state. The old Cruiser Ride wasn’t working anymore. No one likes a drunken mob. Well, except the guttersnipes. And I’m not one of them.

We are cruising tonight. Meet at Scotts house then the Sports Garage, as always.

I've been reading Rob G's "so called elitism" remarks for a while regarding the cruiser ride and am pretty surprised at how un-informed he is. Too bad he never took the time to talk to people like myself to get an understanding about what is going on with the ride. You are right, the ride is in a transition state. Despite what many are complaining about, this is the best thing to happen to the ride, as it will find it's true roots again and hopefully going be a much stronger community ride. The ride was never truly dead, it was more of a "re-boot" than anything. Somethings just need a re-booted to clean out the system and run smoother.
