Deacon, Thanks any time I get to camp I always have a blast. I have a 25+ bag which I recently re-lofted and purchased a VBL so I'll be fine. There are others that don't have said gear so I was thinking of them. I don't know if we can do the fire thing in the Los Padres Forest as they want an off

Interesting. 400k sq ft of where house space that's a lot. No doubt you had the same thought about the poor women walking 8 miles with out a car, she needs a bicycle! Eight miles that's a good commute. I'd like to meet her and get her a bike. The gist of the article is really about how goods and s

Re: [RBW] Re: Crazy-priced Riv water bottles on ebay

My Dad always said Buyer beware...good advice. I think Ron and Jim make excellent points. What, for example, justifies the 300% price ratio between a Sam Hillborne and a Surly Cross-check or the even larger differential between an Atlantis and LHT? They have similar ride quality and expected servic

Re: [RBW] Re: Good compromise between a Marathon and a Hetre? Is it the Soma Xpress 650b?

Sometimes luck happens in both directions, the Hetres are really intended for a very narrow use which as I said previously I pushed that boundary so I won't be going to them again. And David if your reading this I'll get with you about them. ~Hugh "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your bala

Hey Andy, Thanks, well as it stands the Coconut got injured and is out for the count at least on the proposed date, Curtis is out and there has been little interest from anyone else. I figured it was a long shot this time of year, so it looks like it won't be happening this weekend. Evan is okay b

Cocochen no crying up there we don't want eyesicles forming and he's no six million dollar coconut either we can maintain his orbit for far less. Hey Mac, if we eliminate the gyroscopic effect then we can make our adjustments relative to his individual mass distribution shoes or no shoes. Cocodyn
