where did the summer go?

By PhotoDad
  So my pedal time this summer was pretty much non-existint . Except for the odd ride with my daughter in the buggy, there has been only crushed stone and no single track whats so every. And somehow i still managed to toast my frame.

 Somehow kicked up a massive rock of the front tire and put a serious dent in my downtube...  that didn't exactly motivate me. So my freeride bike is very limited in what i can do with it out of fear of it becoming a unicycle.

 So i've be kinda longing for simpiler times, where my bike was lighter and something that pulls my daughters buggy a little easier. so i ordered:



I'm gonna throw the components off my stinky (my 66, hadley hub, and various other parts) and give the old freeride hardtail a rip for a while.

 I'm actually getting pretty excited about riding, and possibily a late season trip to sugarloaf,

 Anyways thanks for listening to my diatribe. and sorry for not being around much the last year or so... now that my daughter is getting bigger, maybe next year we could organized a "Family ride day" at Victoria park in truro or something for us family folk who haul around presious cargo on rides :)

All the beautiful people

By TURPLE
I ride my bike because it is fun, keeps me young and in shape... and mostly sane.  It also keeps me in touch with so many cool, interesting and awesome people.
Through pedal power I have met many fantastic folks, I even found a wife on two wheels!
I have a theory that when the cranks are turned, the brain begins to pump out chemicals that make the rider even more awesome.  The more they pedal the better person they become.
Recently this was proven at Gore when a fellow rider was injured and about two dozen racers stopped mid race to call 911, perform first aid, make a new trail to get him to the ambulance faster, and carry him through the woods.  I'd like to see tennis players or golfers do that. 
Another prime example is a stolen bicycle that was lost five years ago and recently recovered through the comraderie of cycling, and social media.
It never ceases to amaze me at how quickly you can show up to a group ride,  not know a soul, and within minutes you feel like you have been friends for many years. 
I have never met a person on a bicyle that I didn't like instantly.  I may not always remember your name, (only because I suck at names) but I will always remember the ride and the great times we had.
Cyclists are all beautiul people.
Pedal, pedal, pedal!!!

PedalTrout Jerseys - order now!

By bikergrl
Our PedalTrout jerseys got so many compliments at Gorefest that we thought we'd make a run available to our members. We are planning this run so that they will be available in time for holiday gift giving.

We will be taking orders up until Sept. 30 and we need a minimum of 5 to place the order.

These tagless jerseys are fully sublimated (no screenprint to crack, wear off or affect the breathability) with a 3/4 length hidden zip and 3 back pockets.  To find your size please measure one of your best-fitting jerseys from armpit to armpit and compare to the chart below. The sizing runs slightly small so if in doubt you may want to order one size up.

Jerseys are $70 each. To place your order please email and specify size as well as men's or women's! We can take cheques as well as Paypal.
