This past weekend was Paula’s mile race, which went off without a hitch. The only thing that could have been better would have been more racers (of course). But for a first year, it was a success. I managed to get some pics, which are here. I also took a [...]

I finaly caved in to the skate park thing. I put up a hell of a fight.
I barrowed a bike the other day and had a ball on a cold night ripping corners and jumping things. I was hooked.
After much internal debate, I decided that the skate park was more accesable [...]

Road Trip to Incycle
Submitted by KRISTA PARK
Riding in Tucson is still awesome. You can ride forever up Mt Lemmon, but I stay low (warm) and watch the cars come back down after filling up with snow to make a snowman for the afternoon.
~ mile 3 (of 29) on Mt. Lemmon
We hated to miss the BOD party this year, [...]

Experimenting with Exposure

the other side

We were greated by Llamas as we entered the woods. Not sure where they came from, but it looked like they had broken free from a farm. Later we saw a fox, and a gang of wild turkey.
There was no snow at the lower elevations, but it didn’t take long for [...]

MC Techfest ‘09, day 3
Submitted by Diary of Scott Morris
I think we were all on the same page — enough with the fiddle fartin’ around, fun as it was. It was time to get some continuous riding in, maybe a little flow.
No better place for that than Mt. Lemmon. It was a self-shuttle day — even ‘big’ bikes climb [...]
Pure Genius

Every once in a while an email arrives that stops me dead in my tracks. A dumbfounded “WOW” was all I could muster forth as I stared at the three dimensional map.
From the man that brought us the Grand Enchantment Trail comes the Sky Island Traverse.

Indoor clinic at Sabino Cycles this past Thursday:

Right before the holidays is a good time to review your nutrition. I talked about the tips I have learned, mentioned books that have been helpful and discussed products like Cooper Complete and FRS. We snacked on veggies and water while avoiding the ranch dip. [...]
