Man, it was cold today. The Pavilion Sign at Mills Park advertised 24 degrees F when I passed by on the morning commute. Although with no winds, it wasn’t all that bad. Riding in 24 degrees gives me confidence that it won’t be that bad commuting when the snow starts to fall. […]

Sorry in advance to all foodies that may have gotten here looking for the latest in oviparous food processing, but this review is for the Egg Beater pedals from Crank Brothers.
My introduction to clipless pedals began with Shimanos. They were set to a medium tension, and I fell down a lot learning how to […]

It’s been a cold week. I check the temperature before leaving the house, and today it said it was in the 20’s. So of course, I dressed pretty warm. The commute started off pretty comfortable, and only my ankles were cold, taking a bit of draft from lack of wind protection.

It was almost a year ago that I ran into the FBC crew while riding in the Pine Nut Mountain Range in Gardnerville, NV. It was a beautiful fall day, and as I was rounding a corner I came upon an unconscious rider, her right leg twitching. I thought she was dead. The […]

After a cold foggy morning, the sun finally came out just in time for our lunch time ride. Ride temperatures started out in the low 40’s. I had my warm riding gear from my commute this morning, but a couple of the riders were caught off guard…shorts, short sleeve jerseys, short finger gloves. […]

Last Thursday I had a car free day! I started the day with a foggy commute. I took a less direct route to work, and rode down Mountain Street, past the Governor’s Mansion and other historical places of interest. The naked trees, fall colors, and foggy air made for a mystic commute. […]

Here is a link to the Federal Highway Administration website which offers free publications for our trail building needs. Even if you have no desire to build trails these publications will help you understand why trails are built the way they are. You will also be able to identify sections where the trail design has […]
