This is going to be awesome, can't wait!

Here in Vermont, the USFS recently awarded $154,000 to legal mountain bike trail building in the Green Mountain National Forest - this will see a 9-mile loop in the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area in Goshen. There will be an upcoming article in Dirt Rag Magazine about this project. In a nutshell, legal trails are much better, because they are permanent! In this case, legal trails are also being paid for by the USFS, which is an excellent use of tax dollars. Regarding tips for working with land managers - be respectful, show them that mountain bikers are good people who want to do good work in the woods. Also, make sure and follow through on details to the T. We have been working on this project for 4 years and this year the USFS are making a big investment, as a result of our lobbying and advocacy efforts. Get in touch if you have questions. Thanks, Patrick Patrick Kell Executive Director Vermont Mountain Bike Association

anyone do Crossfit in the winter? I've been doing it for almost a year, and really notice the difference.

I recently bought a ton of Dakine gear - Nomad, Builder Pack, shorts, jerseys, gloves, ball cap. All really good, the packs (Nomad and Builder) are excellent. Shorts are lightweight and bomber, highly recommended.
