Doesn't fit in the other forums, post it here

Got in 5 miles at SMB this afternoon...

Finished up just after the rain started coming down. Came across 2 other riders who were still on the mountain when I departed.

I'm still struggling with the climbs...it really is a physical stamina issue for me. Have to take Heidi's advice and train by doing repeated climbs over at Jacobsburg.

The leaves on the rocks didn't help but my new Chunder tires made a world of difference (Thanks Lisa & John @ Cutters). I have them mounted backwards and they are a little slow but traction is awesome. :cornut:

Club Insurance Goes Through The Roof

IMBA switched there master insurance policy because the old insurance policy was no longer covering Clubs that build, design or maintain trails. The old policy premium was $300.

IMBA secured a new master contract with Fireman's Fund that covers the above. Problem is that the new premium is $901 !!! ($7.00 per paid member, plus fees)

That will kill our Treasury.......

Leadville 100/Lance Documentary Thurs Oct 22nd

Though I am not the biggest lance fan (but I am a huge Dave Weins fan), I think this is a great thing to see -- the showing of the Lance/Leadville 100 race documentary this Thurs is one night, nationwide. Looks like a killer flick. Here is the info:

Perhaps we could make one on Jonk and Kenny some day...

Berlin Brothel Offers Discounts to Bike-Riding Customers

BERLIN — Part of Berlin's red-light scene is going green.

One bordello, hoping to stave off falling demand in the economic crisis, has begun offering discounts to customers who pedal bicycles to the door.

"It's very difficult to find parking around here, and this option is better for our environment," said Thomas Goetz, who owns the brothel Maison d'Envie, or House of Desire.
