A Powderflop at Snowbird

The snow finally showed up across the west over the weekend.  Following Outdoor Retailer we tackled Snowbird where we were rewarded with a full day of fluffy powder and face shots.  This was one of the more memorable lines.  No one was holding back.

New Bike Shop Resource Lauched

When it comes to buying a bike, your local bike shop is an invaluable resource for making an informed decision.  Not only can the seasoned mechanic/bike fanatic give you a clear understanding of the various options and functions of each bike and component, but the access to riding a bike before you purchase it so you can find a match that truly "feels" right, will ensure that you don't buy wheels that leave you less than satisfied.

GreatBikeShops.com, a free online directory of over 6,000 bicycle shops across North America, has launched in December to help you navigate to these bike experts regardless of where you are. "Local shops are at the heart of the bicycle riding community," said Chris Greenwood, the creator of the web site. "Whether you're looking to make a purchase, in need of a repair, or in search of a recommendation for some great trails, we connect you to someone who can help."

So if you're like me, and have been putting off getting the mountain bike of your dreams, check them out.  In this unusually mild winter it might be just the right investment to keep your body in shape and spirits up as we wait... and wait... and wait... for snow.
