IMBA HQ Boulder

I was going to say that I thought it was too early for snow but after the non stop rain that we are enduring, I think I may change my tune....

Great Article on Joey Klein....

I was just forwarded this great Clip about Joey Klein one of IMBA's master trail builders. Rumor has it that Joey could be working on any number of projects here in the Midwest next season. Could be a huge step in singletrack evolution for us!

MORC Summit

Had a killer time with the MORC folks at Murphy, despite wet trails. The limbo contest was priceless....

The Mountain Bike Militia

I just had to point out this awesome site. The Mountain Bike Militia. Must be the redneck in me but there is some interesting stuff on here. I especially like the fact that they state that mountain bikes are "Apocalypse" safe. Whew, good to know!

Bikes, Birds and blunderbusses

There is no doubt the birds are back.
Hunted off the bike this week, saw 25 birds in two hours and went home bag full in an hour. No sense buying the free range chickens this year!

Single Speed Worlds 2009 Durango

I love this photo as it is my boss.................. at the Single Speed World Championships

The Fat Man is singing

Time for the 40! If you are down swing by and check out the IMBA booth at the Expo. Otherwise see you on the road to tears...

CAMBA finishes the Makwa Trail!

Congrats to the folks at CAMBA! Now you can ride singletrack from the Fish Hatchery Trailhead to OO! This has been a club and community initiative for the past few years and it is exciting to see it come to reality! Now all we need is it to continue to Cable so we can start a ride in Hayward with Breakfast and finish it in Cable with dinner at the Ideal Market!

Heck of the North

This year for my bday, September 1st, I asked Margaret if I could do the Heck of the North. So today, never mind that I have no bike for this venture, or little experience in riding long distance on gravel, or even training for that matter, I dropped in my entry. The entry was little more than a postcard, no fee with my name and address on it, plus what type of bike I will be riding (???) geared or not geared etc. So hey if anybody has a cross bike out there that fits a large dude, please let me know!

Brewer Park Singletrack

Used some of my new knowledge this morning at Brewers Park to help out Adam Sundberg and the COGGS guys. Time to pass on all this trail learning to the locals....

Brewers Park will link the Piedmont Trail System to Spirit Mountain and ultimately to Mission Creek, to Jay Cooke State Park and on and on....
