Lithia Reservoir 2Originally uploaded by sipclip&goSo–I headed out mountain biking this beautiful morning, and decided to go to an old haunt, just a few miles from home.

What Is Cyclocross?

If you haven’t heard of this form of cycling, you really need to.  This article can help explain the basics of the sport, and why it’s so darn fun to watch a ‘cross race.  This is considered one of the fastest growing segments of cycling, especially here in the Northeast.  I think it’s because not [...]

Lost?

Today I decided I was mountain biking, going solo be damned. I checked out an area in Northfield, but I wasn’t really sure where I could park. I had a map of trails, but that was it. I also forgot my gloves, license, and cash. Sound like someone else we’ve read about? I went home, [...]
