Anyone read the Louis Zamperini story by Laura Hillenbrand called Unbroken? Got it for my wife and couldn't wait for her to finish so that I could read it. One of the best I've ever read!

have a look at the embedding process that all brake manufacturers suggest. follow those instructions and you'll end up with less chance of noisy and poor performing brakes.

jip those exact ones. Runway Sports on Lynnwood road

Been running with NB Mt-20's for the last year and they've been great to make the transition to minimalist shoes. "Upgraded" to the NB ZEROv2 a month ago and I've been BLOWN away with these babies!

There's been talk of a bike park opening there soon, it must be the trails you've come across recently

Awesome spot to ride but watch out for these silly new jumps they are popping up all over... Very dry trails now so grip is more challenging to find the corners. Yeah what's up with the pol on speling?

there was a "chicken run" on one of the climbs at cascades with the wc, just crazy what those guys can ride though. ja chicken run should definitely take longer

Hi, I'm driving down to ride the S2C Trail and I would have space for 1x person to join me and share some costs. My plan is to drive down on Monday 12May for registration, and then to return on the Friday after camping in Scottsburg on the Thursday evening. Please contact me by mail if you are interested.

Merida SA managed to get 6x of the ONE FORTY 1- B, and there's one at Cycle Lab Eastrand to view (or buy!) http://2014.merida-bikes.com/en_int

I know of guys who ride from Pta east out to Erasmia and then past Hoogland Hydro through to Jasmyn. Should be easy to spot on a map

In Lynnwood Glen too, would like to do longer rides

Anyone know where to see the event photos?
