Riding Costa Rica
Back in mid-September the La Ruta team gathered in Costa Rica for a reconnisance trip looking at the La Ruta course. We rode most but not all of it. I ran helmet-cam for most of it and finally got around to editing some of the footage. The most amazing day was the third day... »

New Bike Lanes In Reno
RTC gave Arlington Ave and California Avenues a Road Diet last week. I know several people who have said that those streets weren’t necessarily priorities for bike lanes. But I’ll point out that RTC is being strategic about the road diet both from a public visibility and cost standpoint. They are re striping as part of... »

Not sure which Raleigh Road bike this is, but I got to get me one! The video is a promo for an event called Bike Radar Live that BikeRadar.com is putting on 10th – 11th July at Brands Hatch in Kent. Must be England. Never heard of it. Either way. Cool video and based... »

More Adventures in Training
This is supposed to be the start one of my high-intensity two week blocks of training. Love this stuff, really I do. Trying to do very focused steady-state intervals while worrying about frostbite is not my favorite thing to do. Oh, ok, I exaggerate but not by a lot. The Galena RAWS is less... »
Nanotechnology and skis @ UNR
I got a little greedy on The Chutes one day @ Mt. Rose this season and lost some edge. My Backcountry boards are also getting a little floppy, so I could use some new boards. Looks like new ski technology could have some sweet components designed, tested and build here in NorNev @ UNR... »
