Radwanderung. According the the translator I used, it’s German for “bicycle tour”. There has to be better words in German to describe this video though.
The older I get, the more steep drop-offs scare me. You can add this trail to the list of ones I’d never ride. I’m not sure I’d even walk it. I had to pause the video part way through to catch my breath!
Thanks to AHTBM for sharing the video!
It’s been a busy couple weeks for me, and I haven’t had much time to blog. Here are a few videos to watch as I get settled back into my routine.
Bavarian Snow Trails from Big Col on Vimeo.
As I write this post, it’s 10 degrees outside. Winter is definitely here. If you’re thinking about stopping riding, maybe this video will change your mind. According to the caption, it was filmed at the end of November 2010 somewhere in Bavaria.
Too cold? Here’s some video from Carson City’s Jason Gardner from his recent trip to Belize. He was able to acquire a bike to explore some of the jungle trail. Although it was pretty fun he says, you couldn’t stop pedaling or the bugs would eat you alive!
CX Racing on Halloween Weekend from Brent Ruybalid on Vimeo.
This is a video Carson City’s Brent Ruybalid made of a cyclocross race this fall. He says, “The cyclocross season in my area is short. I missed the first race because the bike I wanted was out of stock when we tried to order it. So, I took matters into my own hands and tore down my old commuter and my recently built Ghetto Blaster to build a bike to race. I had to weld a disc brake mount onto the frame and I ordered a rigid fork and some Kenda Small Block 8 tires. When the bike was done I had one week to learn the skills needed for CX racing.”
Industrial Revolutions is the amazing new film from street trials riding star Danny Macaskill. Enjoy this clip while we’re busy writing up the next post!
A Hill in Spain from chris akrigg on Vimeo.
Here’s something I think you’ll enjoy, a new video from Chris Akrigg, six-times National BikeTrial Champion & Mongoose MTN team rider. It’ll help you remember what mountain biking was all about, and give you some hope that the trails will be open soon! Go away snow, wind, and cold!
Jingle Bell Run from Brent Ruybalid on Vimeo.
On December 11th, Brent and I got to be ride leaders for the 5K Jingle Bell Run. Here’s some fun footage of the ride over and the run that Brent put together. Enjoy!
Here’s the latest video from Danny MacAskill entitled Way Back Home. Watch and be amazed as Danny rides and flies his way through some beautiful scenery!
Gonads & Strife Poker Run 9/26/10 from Brent Ruybalid on Vimeo.
Here’s a FUN video from Brent Ruybalid, a collection of footage from September’s Gonads and Strife Poker Run to the tune of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s Big and Bad. Enjoy!
