I figured out another cheap way of taking your digital camera on the trails with you without having to spend hundreds of dollars for a special camera. Basically all you need is a rear seat post reflector, 1 1″ x 1/4″ screw, a couple of nuts and your camera. First remove the reflector. Insert the…
I was supposed to write a first impression of the NiteRider Dual MiNewt lights. Unfortunately, my youngest daughter came down with a fever and I was not able to make it to the beers and bike ride. I hope to ride this friday and test the lights and give the SweetSkinz prototypes another test.
We couldn’t help ourselves. What better way to network with all the readers and make new friends then on Myspace! I am using my profile as another avenue to communicate news and make new biking buddies. RL and I will be updating often with kool info, pics and videos. Check it out at myspace. We…
When we were running a commuter site, RL sent me the Fezzari Abajo Peak to have fun with. I have to tell you, the Abajo Peak has been my ride of choice. I have 5 different mountain bikes in my stable, but every time I go for a ride, I use the Abajo Peak. I…

Yesterday I installed the Ahrens Bicycles’ WiseCracker Bottle Opener on the Fezzari Abajo Peak. This little bad boy will be going through a series of rigorous tests. Something that I’m more than willing to perform. The WiseCracker doesn’t appear to get in the way if you use a saddle bag or lower the seat. It…
NOTE TO SELF: Invite 10 women next time so at least one shows up. So it was kind of a bummer to get those cancellation phone calls at 6:45am this morning. I am sure you have all been there yourself. Stuff happens, but I still went out and had myself a good time. So this…
