The rain had made traction near perfect. My tires dug into the soil as I sped down the trail. Up ahead a beautiful sweeping hairpin came into sight. Even with the berm built by motorcycles I had to decrease my speed a lot. The index finger of my left hand extended to the brake lever […]

At first glance, I couldn’t help but notice that they were thicker and appeared to have more cushion. After close inspection I found the DMP’s are 5mm thick, while your standard Greens Superfeet insoles are 4mm. The […]

Conditions weren’t as nice as last year when the rain held off until the ladies finished. This year it was raining throughout their race. […]
Cross started last week at North SeaTac and this weekend saw the the start of the MFG Series. Nerves were high as most haven’t looked at much less ridden their cross bikes since last December. It was time to dust off ones bike handling skills and get back to business. The turnout at Big Finn […]
