Rock and Roll

Jeff Moser | May 30, 2008

On Wednesday night I joined Jeff P and Oli for a little trail maintenance. After an exhausting ride into the wind to the top of the creek trail, I found the other two up on the hillside already working. I had an apprehensive feeling when I saw Jeff P messing with large boulders [...]

At the Pump Track

Jeff Moser | May 27, 2008

We visited Marcus’s Pump Track On Memorial Day, and I’m here to say that the track is evolving nicely! You can now ride the track either direction and keep pretty good momentum.  You can go around the track several times without even pedaling!  The only thing that’ll stop you is exhaustion.  It’s a great [...]

Memorial Day Weekend

Visit to Veltec

Jeff Moser | May 21, 2008

Last week Kristy and I had the opportunity to visit Veltec, a distributor of some of the finest names in the cycling business. You could safely say that Veltec is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum from WalMart. Veltec relocated from Monterey, California to Carson City in late 2006, and distributes [...]
