snow trail

Tried to mountain bike today but too much snow still and snowmobiles haven’t packed it down enough to ride.
my looking to the future when snow will be gone face.
Where are the crazy, drunk Maine snowmobilers when you need them?

29er, 9650er, 36er, 76er

If you haven’t already heard the next big advancement in cycling is the 36” wheel. I wouldn’t be caught dead rolling to the starting line of the 2008 season with anything else.

Not really, I think 36” a little overkill. I would like to ride a 29 “ in front 650cc on back. Yea, that would be perfect. It could be called a 9650er

I found this video group of cyclists that tried to push the envelope beyond the 36”er with the 76”er.

riding, raining

Yesterday i rode outside for the first time in 4 weeks. it was a little warmer than it’s been in a while but Unfortunately it started raining

Michael Patrick

While blog browsing I came across Michael Patrick blog yesterday. I know Michael as a mtn bike racer. all my conversations with Michael had been short while winded during races. I was unfamiliar with the details of the struggle with brain cancer. He and his blog are inspiring take a look and see what he has been through. It puts the whole aspect of dealing with pain and struggling in perspective.

Interview with the Grey Wolf

bikes are saving the world

A car in Africa often costs over 10 times the average annual income, a bicycle can make the difference between, getting an education or not, earning a living or not, or receiving medical care or not. People in Africa walk up to 3 miles to get water. Mostly women or girls. After walking the water must then be boiled and filtered to clean it. All labor intensive but necessary task to prevent diseases.

Here is the solution
