Mud and Cowbells
03 Feb 2009, written by moto 0 CommentsLast night, I met a journalist/editor from SKI Magazine named Philip Higgs. Based in Boulder, Phil knows a few of the same cycling characters that I know who are still around the scene. We got a little sidetracked talking about bikes when we should have been talking about Deer Valley Resort, lodging, the Seafood Buffet at the Snow Park Lodge, you know, business. Maybe it was the result of the current high pressure weather, which tends to bring out the cyclist in all of us, not quite ready to call it quits on the many powder days sure to come, but starting to look down the road at the prospects of getting on the road bikes, mountain bikes, singlespeeds, what have you. Anyway, Phil told me about a sweet cyclocross blog, Mud and Cowbells. Great name, so I added it to the blogroll. Enjoy.
Way More Excitement Than The Tour De France
09 Jan 2009, written by moto 0 CommentsIt’s Dakar Rally time for all you moto-heads. No, it’s not in Africa anymore. Yes, they still call it the Dakar. Yes, there are sand dunes in South America. Of course, KTM bikes are absolutely crushing the top ten every day. Darth Nater has been following along on Versus, but another way to get quick updates of the progress of the race, visit the KTM website, they have daily updates, since most of the top riders are riding KTMs. And how about a shout out to Jonah Street, a young American who doesn’t seem to have much in the way of sponsorship. He’s already won a stage against the best rally riders, and is currently sitting 2nd overall. Rock on, brother Street.
Video Diary: Loop the Lake Day 1
