By BrandonST on 1/8/2008 on BrandonST's blog Last post, I talked about it getting darker so much earlier...well, I've had something a little more troublesome to contend with lately...snow. Living in Canada, we're pretty much guaranteed to have 5 good months of miserable weather, from muddy to snowy, then back to muddy again. Right now, I'm in the snowy stage. I went out and bought myself a studded tire, some proper gloves, put on my snowmobile boots, and off I went, hyperactive dog in tow. |

Maybe alarm clocks aren't overrated - North Pole Bike Extreme

By baselbutt on 4/19/2007 on baselbutt's blog
Just under 24 hours removed from my Podcast interview with Neal at YourRunning.com where I swear up and down that I’m not going to fall asleep and risk having to rush from my bed to the bike, I find myself running around my sleeping tent like a crazed madman trying to find the clothes I thought I had layed out all nice and orderly just a few hours before. It was exactly like the feeling when you oversleep and need to be at the airport 5 minutes ago. My mind was racing and I couldn’t think straight. Meanwhile, Richard is standing in the doorway saying ”just put on anything! The race is about to start!” - he wasn’t helping things.. |
North Pole Bike Extreme

By baselbutt on 4/10/2007  Right after finishing the first ever bike race held at the North Pole.... and lord knows I could have used a Joby!!!!!!! P.S. Yes, those are bare hands grasping a bike that's been subject to -25 degrees for over 36 hours.. |
Ready to race at the North Pole
|
By yourmtb on 4/6/2007  Bobby Bostic is at the North Pole this weekend to run a marathon. But he's also going to compete against 13 other riders in the first-ever mountain bike race at the pole. When the running marathon is done, riders will cover 26.2 miles (same distance as the foot runners) in a loop course. Here's Bobby in Longyearbyen, Norway, trying out the Crescent mountain bike that he'll be using for the race. It features tires with little steel spikes. Bobby is running the North Pole Marathon because he was the winner of a contest by YourRunning.com (sister site of YourMTB.com) to give away an entry to the event. |
North Pole-worthy mountain bike

By yourmtb on 4/6/2007  Bobby Bostic will be riding this Crescent mountain bike at the North Pole on April 7, competing against 13 other riders in what apparently is the first mountain bike race held at the pole. In this shot Bobby is in Longyearbyen, Norway, prior to catching his flight to the pole, alongside Crescent's owner. |
Monarch Crest Ride, September 2006
|
By Debaser on 2/22/2007  Picture from the Monarch Crest ride I did last September - It was cold at the time, but it would feel warm these days. My first time there, I can't wait to get back there. A true Colorado high country epic. |

By MikeG on 11/24/2006 on MikeG's blog Last Saturday was a good ride. I'm writing this later because I'm busy with a side job at night to make a little extra cash (for MTB stuff of course!). We had quite a ride because it was muddy. It had been raining all week. At least if it is really cold, then the mud is frozen, but not this week. Even though I experienced a lot of muddy sections, I still managed to do well, since I had been working on shifting my weight to the back. It really works well to avoid spinning the back tire. This has made my climbing, even in muddy conditions, go amazingly well. Today I really showed my stuff to the other guys. There were sections where I was surprised that I didn't have to get off and do some 'cross-training' as we like to call it. In fact, when the other guys headed for the road to go home, I went on to do a total of 40km. This includes about 12km from my home, to the trails and back. |
