For those who have read some of my previous outings of the blog variety you will know that I am currently in the difficult yet oddly enjoyable position of a mountain bike personality crisis. (For those who haven’t read the previous posts: Where were you? But nice to have you with us….) I am also […]

Once realizing that having any old bike helmet wasn’t really good enough, I upgraded to a mountain bike-specific helmet still within a reasonable price range, the Specialized Tactic II.  After any somewhat serious crash involving your head hitting something, a helmet greatly loses its ability to further protect against an accident.

To most, the first thing they think about is Christmas and Andy Williams. But to me, a mountain biker, I think of Fall riding. For me this is the best time to be riding. A time when for once you’re not sweating your you know what off and feel like you’re going to hurl at […]
