Anyone interested in riding JBURG around 6 today, then Cherry Hill Hotel

A couple recent things worth sharing:

1) Valley Mountain Biker's work is having a influence in the future of new trail systems in other locales.
I've recently attended meetings where local officials, outdoor organization reps., etc have been very interested in the success story of VMB's transformation of Walking Purchase Park. Beyond the impact it's had locally, I'm seeing that it can serve as a model for other places! It's really cool to think that we're having an influence elsewhere.

2) VMB received a new membership this week. Read more »

At least as far as I've been able to determine. World's tallest building, the Burj.

Anybody been out riding in the last day or so to give a trail report? Do we need iceskates or do we have that beautiful, ear pleasing crunch on the trails?

I finally have a day off Wed so I'm going to goof around at Sals and SMB. Start from home to upper Sals to 3rd street or something then climb up to SMB goof around then back to 3rd street or something then finish with lower Sals then home! Woo Hoo! I think it was about 20 m last time might be more this time?

Just a snap or two...I wasn't able to stay very long (had to study for my graduate course). Weather was good...but the deer ticks were out in force.

Donna' making sure I sign the trail log.

Interesting commentary.

Wow, was warm here today. Was expecting to get off the plane to freezing weather. A little eye candy for you from my trip to Sanibel Island. Boy do I miss MTB'ing.

I had a bunch of miles that were due to expire on my Scandinavian frequent flyer account. So I sprung for a few little X-mas presents for the family and also a new bike helmet. Comes from Germany.

Has two cool features, which are new to me. The strap fastens with an adjustable tongue (see red release button). And the internal head band that is padded has an adjustment feature...you simply turn the clear star wheel to tighten or loosen the fit. Fits my big fat head like a glove.

Cool matte black also.
