Cold Friday

Jeff Moser | November 30, 2007

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. [...]

Egg Beater Pedal Review

Jeff Moser | November 30, 2007

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.

The Commute Report

After hooking up with the rest of the gang, we started the rocky ascent up into the deserty highlands above Carson City’s east side. This place was already [...]

End of the Week Review

Jeff Moser | November 23, 2007

There was no riding for me on Thanksgiving; however, I did witness some pretty amazing sprints and feats of endurance at the dinner table…
I finished off my riding week on Wednesday with an extended lunch time ride, squeezing in two great trails into one ride. The temperatures plummeted this week making for some pretty [...]

Thanks FBC

Jeff Potter | November 20, 2007

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 [...]
