Blowin in the Wind

Wednesday April 16, 2008
So I'm out in Monterey, CA for the Sea Otter Classic. Although the event is notorious for crappy weather, it looks like we are in for some good sunny days.

I wasn't really agreeing with that statement so much yesterday as I was getting blown off the trail by about 4 feet while trying to climb a hill, but today was much better.

Anyway, I'll post some updates from the expo and races. Hope some of you can make it out here, the event runs through Sunday.

Time for Another Reminder: Check Your Tire Pressure

Saturday April 12, 2008
Alright, I know I talk about this a lot, but seriously, everybody needs to learn to use the right tire pressure.

A simple change in tire pressure can take a bike from sketchy at best to controlled and predictable.

The right tire pressure can change from trail to trail, but usually, once you find what works for you, it's easy to make adjustments from there. Check our easy guide to setting the right tire pressure.
