Nox Rocks! Thanks Kenny and Co.

Finally got to check out the Nockamixon trail system today. Even got to see Kenny. Dude, your trails are so dope! Dark, dank, and deliriously twisty. Love the lines in the pines (well, cedars...), and the rippers along the shore. Totally ripping flow. Cannot wait for the Skills Clinic Saturday. Yay today, 4-20 with Kenny. Thanks to all the trail builders for a job so well done.

The Double- Secret Society Of VMB (Inc.)

It's probably time to fess-up about DSS-VMB, Inc...

We are a small subset of VMB with an astoundingly sophisticated corporate structure who control a disproportionate amount of the privilege, and access to decision-making on a global level — effectively squashing the efforts of freethinking cyclists worldwide.

Brief example of our abilities:

Mojo for Mikaela

Folks,
Figured this one could use all the publicity it could get, otherwise I wouldn't be spamming all you. Mikaela is a 13 year old up here in VT that is waiting for life saving liver and kidney transplants. Her family is trying to raise money to offset the costs of the surgery (a staggering amount) and is raffling off a brand new Ibis Mojo Sl complete bike.

Nockamixon Trail

I rode the Nockamixon trail for the first time on Saturday, April 9th. I was really glad to find out about this trail and even more so after riding it. Kudos to all who worked on that trail, I was really impressed.

Mtbiking near Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area in California?

Anybody have any experience or tips for some good mtbike trails in the Newport/Laguna Beach area in California. I am going to be out in Costa Mesa, CA the last week of April on business and will have some time to hit some local trails. Looking for anything within an hour or two of Costa Mesa.

Any recommendations on trails and Local Bike Shops where I could rent a bike would be helpful!

Thanks,
Derrick
