Paula hammered to finish her report cards so we could skip out of town early Friday. Destination: St. George, Utah. It was primarily a family visit, and the first time in some time that all of my siblings have been together. Pretty special just for that, but I also managed to ride every day. First ….

After spending the first part of the week working out on the road (with eventual trail reward), I decided to flex the technical muscles. This meant climbing my brains out on Gnat’s Ass trail. I had a good run, but my 36t granny cog (100% necessary on this climb for weaklings like me) still slipped …. [Continue reading]

One of the great open questions in Tucson mountain biking is whether a viable off-road route exists east of the wilderness area. 
Mark Flint has revived the FSA (Foothills Suburban Assault) night ride. ‘Bout time, says I. I waited for the group at the Country Club bridge, having ridden from home. Golden light. They whizzed by, en route for some bat watching at the Campbell Bridge. We were just in time …. [Continue reading] 
Digging through some old files today, I came across a piece of software I wrote when I was 14 years old. I had just bought my first cyclometer, and was pretty excited about having answers to questions like “how far?” and “how long?”. I was also teaching myself Turbo Pascal and was blown away by ….
