On Saturday I taught a bunch of Colorado high school kids and their coaches how to ride safer/better/faster. This was the first official event of the Colorado High School Cycling League.

Hey all, don’t forget my public at the CU Research Park in Boulder this Saturday. It’s a great chance to learn titanium skills at an aluminum price.
The class runs noon to 3 p.m. and costs $50 with a copy of Mastering Mountain Bike Skills. We’ll cover all the basic skills — position, braking, turning, bumps — then do whatever the group wants.

I’m starting to believe success is 1% genius and 99% determination.

Spots are filling up fast, and this is going to be super fun.

Hi Lee,
I am looking to buy a new wheelset for my bike. i have an ‘09 Sx Trail which I use for All Mountain, Light Free-ride, and some DH. I need lighter wheels than i currently have. I have researched the DT Swiss E2200’s and have found that they are inexpensive, strong, and light. I am very eager to buy them as they fit my riding style and are in my price range. I just wanted to get an opinion on those wheels. Would you recommend them?
Thanks,
Matt
