SnoVolution: How to steal the soul of a sport with engineering…
Just saw this on SkiRebel.com. “The British SnowVolution machine is a snow covered rotating planar disc up to 300 metres (985ft) in diameter, inclined at 25 degrees, divided into four to six concentric rings each 15-30 metres (50-100ft) wide. The rings rotate independently in either direction at tangential speeds of up to 15 metres/per... »
Sierra 100 Pre-ride and more
I saw this sign out on the route of the Sierra 100 and thought it was an appropriate sentiment. Even just the “Not Recommended” part — those are words to live by. At least, if you ride on past all signs that say “Not Recommended.” Never mind what is not recommended, just keep going.... »
no strip left un turned…
It has come to my attention that our team roster is WOEFULLY incomplete. Since I met the TBS crew I have truly been infatuated with everyones love for human interaction,bacon,beer and bikes. I feel that at this time I need/will make my plea to become part of “we are the bacon strip”. I act... »
Cow canyon and the motards (rant)
It’s always nice when you can singlespeed something you use to suffer up on the little-ring. Juni and I went up cow canyon yesterday AM. Weather was great!

The worst that could happen

Maybe the absolute worst is that you crash into a spectator and take him/her out too. That would be bad. Still... »
Police caution bicyclists and motorists
If by recommending that cyclists stay off the streets at night Steve Friday admits that the RPD has little handle on traffic violations and reckless or distracted drivers, I suggest Chief of Police, Michael Poehlman, resign, as most public officials do after admitting in the press that they can’t do their job, or put... »
Tell me something…
WTF is this? Perhaps the people they are trying to lure to the area are the kind who are willing to become political to get things they want, like better bicycle transportation infrastructure and better management and protection of open spaces. If so, let me be the first to show you the trails! –>... »
Letter to the editor
Once again the RGJ pisses me off. I’m writing an article next month on alternative commuting, so I gess that’s what they call “put-up or shut-up” (piss of get off the pot?). I guess I’ll post the letter I wrote. You should also note how one of the proposed routes looks like it goes... »
