Technically we didn’t ride for 5 hours, it was more like 2.5, but I did drink a bottle of 5 Hour Energy and I was so energized! Love that stuff, way better than Monster, Rockstar and all that jazz. By the way, I have to warn you that this is going to be photo-intensive. If…
A GREAT RACER OK so we all know that the truth of the evidence has come out about the Lance Armstrong doping allegations and Lance Armstrong was released by Nike and he stepped down as chairman of his LIVESTRONG foundation.

On Sunday, Nick D. and I participated in the first race of the Triple Crown Series as tandem racers. Mind you, they don’t actually have a tandem category so we entered in the 200+ category since our combined weight along with the tandem was probably over 400lbs. We made sure that we matched our jerseys…
Check out this guy proudly showing off the MtnBikeRiders.com logo at 13,500 feet in the sky. This is my brother, Staff Sgt/HALO Instructor, Randy Policar. At a certain point before he deploys his chute, he does let go of the banner. So somewhere in the desert, you might be able to find the banner. If…
DEUTER AT THE DEMO While at the DirtDemo I was in need of a bigger hydration pack big enough to carry my camera gear and all the other things I might need on the trail while riding test bikes and I came upon Deuter Packs, I met Todd Walton and had him go through the…
