    Ringwood Rumble CANCELED!

    Change is good. Novelty is good. I seem to recall the ‘cross dialog from 15 years ago was that some of the race classifications were too crowded for course and also the never ending number of road CAT 1 or CAT 2 racers dabbling with cross by slaughtering the slower category ‘cross races until...

    Monkey Knife Fight 2026. 75 miler or GTFO

    I have done MFK many times. Mostly on my Spooky which is geared for the flatlands. Used my Cutthroat with 36x42 gear and that really made that top pitch of Goat much less painful. Respectable time on the climb but not fighting for my life fast…..

    Just back from more than a week of Arizona bike packing. Weather and riding was great, bike performed flawlessly. ( bike operator did crash a few times ) Primary obstacle was the riding surface, miles and miles of loose rock, sand and wash board. All the other bike packers I came across were on...

    The Indoor Cyclist's support thread

    I might be misunderstanding the comment but if you are noting that a frenetic workout requires too much shifting and power changes. You can eliminate all cadence changes and shifting by putting your smart trainer into ERG mode. Selecting a workout with longer duration blocks that are not extreme...

    Spent midweek camping and snowshoeing in Stokes. Tillman Ravine Road was unmaintained but packed down solid. Might be a good FatBike option for next snowfall. W

    To quote Airplane : ‘I speak jive.’ That mansion pic is likely the mansion at Natirar. ( ie 90 Acres ). Blairsden mansion ( above Ravine Lake ) is not public and IMHO way cooler…🤟 W

    25-26 Ski and Snowboard Thread

    Hip flexors are shot from too much snow shoeing, decided to give downhill a shot after not doing so for 15 years. Mountain Creek was empty on Tuesday, just ski unto the lift. Conditions seem good. No limbs broken. 👍
