New Bike Gear

Doug Smith
I’m another one of those periods again where some of my sporting gear is wearing out. Most of that nice, quality bike stuff that I bought 16 years ago is slowly being replaced.

Top Fassbender Twists

Doug Smith
Every time I hear Peter Fassbender on the radio, I get really angry. He presents a lot of information in a way that is anywhere from mildly to extremely misleading.

Yesterday Grady and I went out for our first time night skiing. I decided to check out Grouse, as Grady hasn’t really skied there before, other than one bunny hill lesson.

Doug Smith
