024: it puts the lotion in the basket

I sure as hell hope the my epitaph isn't "good husband, decent cyclist, wrote angry emails..."

I'm sure I got it from my father. He taught me that we all have a voice and the ability to impact change. He taught me if you care about something, you have to help foster it, and give back to it.

you're probably saying,"WTF did fatmarc go and do now?"

I got some news last weekend that upset me, added to recent years of frustration, I voiced my opinion. Well, you could just go here and read it.

All I am saying is that we need to have a little freakin' diversity.
Maybe one of these days, I'll just get asked to leave. "thank you Mr. Vanderbacon, your ass can go home now." UGH.

Our camera is still totally dead. New one is in transit. More crappy photos from my phone.

two great rides this weekend. Monkey hosted the sturdy girls Saturday as we have 16 people, 13 of which were ladies, come out for a three hour tour of fairhill. It was one of the most enjoyable rides I have ever done. Anne Rock, has a little more on her blog.

Sunday was a day spent chasing Buddy, Jay Jay, Benny the Jewlar and Leo around fairhill. Buddy picked a fun loop, but man I think we climbed the entire day. Fun was had by all.

Photo Blog;

You mean to tell me Baltimore, MD (murder city USA) can have a street festival with out any Chaos,

But Newark Night has three of these? And yes, I can't believe she caught all of that on tape.
tape!? how old are you? Do you even really know what tape is?


Can you really have too much Rock? Me? too much Anne Rock is never enough.


Sweet Johnny can't get enough of the chocolate covered bananas.

After 20+ years of riding, I have to admit, if I'm gonna be redlined, hanging on for dear life starring at some one's butt, I'd sure as hell rather stare a these butt's.

this guy is really sick of AT&T dropping his calls...


thanks for reading.

respect.

+1 on trail diversity. You can't get better if the trails don't challenge you to get better. I was pondering this Friday as I pried the rear tire, shredded sidewall and all, off my bike. Rocks are my weak point, by far. Yet riding dowhill on rocky trails at Wisp and riding ~3.5 hours at Iron Hill on a lot of rocks gave me a bigger dose of rocks than I've had in 3 years. I'm looking forward to hitting the rocky part of the Ridge Trail at Patapsco, or bouncing down Cascade next time I go there. I'm glad people have left all those sharp little babyheads in the ground at Iron Hill; otherwise, it'd just be a beginner park, with more hills.

Conform your ride to the mountain, don't try to conform the mountain to your ride.

Could you come to SLC and tell the city and its hired help not to widen the trail and remove rocks and other trail features and ask them to approve building more trails? Please, angry is ok.

Now Draper Utah, downright dreamy trail system and local support

I haven't been to your blog in a long while, so i stopped by and ended up reading your trail argument. We may have never seen eye to eye very often, but in this I AGREE whole heartedly!!!! I had a very long "discussion" (or argument) with Dusty Burchnall over this same topic, and I said the same thing to him that you expressed in your post.

I don't say it often, but a BIG KUDOS on this topic Mr V.!!!!
