  1. A new guidebook is being prepared for publication right now
    that is going to blow the lid off the story of Where To Ride
    in the Salida, Colorado Area.

    The author, Nathan Ward, has lived and biked around Salida
    for some 20 years, on and off and when he isn't on some
    other continent doing something adventurous. He knew better
    than most people how poorly documented the riding here in
    the Arkansas Valley has been. Up until now that is!

    His new book _Salida Singletrack_ will demystify the process
    of finding and riding 'The Goods' in Chaffee County. All the
    pertinent info can be found here:

    nathanward.comguidebooks.htm

    Be aware, for a few more weeks the book can be ordered for
    the pre-printing discounted price of $12.50 (for a signed
    copy, no less). After mid-April the price goes up to $14.95.

    So, are you ready for your favorite trails to be ruined by
    poseurs and skidiots who would have never found those
    trails before?

    Dude!

    That's no big deal. Like, I don't really know what you're
    talking about.

    By the way,

    I just got a new set of MAVIC CROSSMAX UST wheels, but
    here's the problem. They DO NOT look good on my Kona.
    TOTALLY wrong color. Worst than that, none of the tubeless
    tires you can get hear are cool either! The laybells are
    totally the wrong color. Some guys saw my bike with those
    wheels, and I don't think they really liked it.

    Do you know if it's OK to paint crossmax? Or of other cool
    wheels that are a good color for my Kona?

    Thanks Dude!

    Real-world example from MTBR: "TOTALY Sick;like 50 square
    acreage of singletrack-downhill, hella log rides, North
    shore type stuff."
