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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

The Bike Habitat celebrated their 1 year anniversary by hosting the Tour of Carson. This 26 mile moderately paced ride took us counter clockwise around the outskirts of the city. I haven’t done many road rides this year, so it was exhilarating to ride around in a group at such a brisk […]
