The Bike Barbeque Beer II wasn’t as big a turnout as I wanted. There were several guys who said that they were a definite yes going, ended up canceling on the last minute because their Unit had to support the Marine Junior ROTC event happening the same day. I thought it was pretty rude of…

Our good buddy Kevin Bergman from State College, PA just informed me that Spring Gobbler Season is on and that it might hinder the Bike Barbeque Beer II ride. The turkey season affects any state forest or game lands in PA. Therefore the Bike Barbeque Beer ride’s intended route through Michaux State Park would have…

A couple of months ago I posted my DIY Hydration pack. RL mentioned that he wanted the bag and asked if he could do a review on it. So I figure I’d put it to the test and see how well it measures up to the pros. Who better to tell you the bitter truth…

It seems like RL, Moe, and Jeremy had a lot of fun at Sea Otter. What I really liked were the videos that they were getting. Makes it seem like I’m right there with you guys. Great job! Keep up the good work. I’m Randy Policar and I’m a MtnBikeRider!

Yesterday was the Bike Barbeque Beer Ride. We had a lot of fun despite the low numbers of riders. I find it funny how a lot of people say that they would go out for the ride but only a couple of guys actually make it. From left to right: Alen, Shawn, and Randy We…

If you are in the New Cumberland, PA area and are interested on a Bike Barbeque Beer ride this Saturday shoot me an e-mail. Just a little something to get a few riders together and have fun.

Last night I had a chance to tune up the Fezzari Abajo Peak. The bottom bracket was giving me problems. I heard a clicking noise every time I pedaled hard. This became annoying fast and I’m sure it’s not good to ignore it either. Since RL is our resident wrench, I followed his how-to advice…

When I got home from work the other day, I decided to take the familia down to City Island for a small picnic. I brought my Trikke along so I could goof around with it for a bit. I rode it around the Island a few times. I enjoyed it so much that I decided…
