I am just busy crushing the Strava records of a former Tour de France winner (or a Tour de France winner later to be stripped of title). No big deal.

Two of our femme Pirates, plus another young lady, will be riding from MD to WI to attend Trek World. Big D, Karyn and Sarah will depart 21 July and plan to arrive 12 Aug in Madison, WI. The ride is just over 900 miles plus a ferry ride across Lake Michigan. The details of preparation and a chronicle of their journey will be maintained at the website below. There's a blog, route map, and other resources and once they get going we'll have a page for pictures, fun stories that are worth telling, and more.<br />
<br />
Please give Diana, Karyn, and Sarah all the support you can. This is no little undertaking. <br />
<br />

I picked up the frame NOS (new old stock) on eBay last year. I built it up for my cousin to ride in the 2012 24 In the Old Pueblo (which was in Feb). I replaced the Rock Shox Monarch rear shock with a Fox RP2. The bike is in good shape. It's a mix of mostly new with some slightly used parts. The front fork is a Manitou R7 that is still smooth but I suspect it will need to be serviced and some new seals within the next six months.

Ben (from Ben's Bikes) just got a new ride and is parting with his old bike. It's in good shape and was maintained by Ben (who is a bike mechanic). <br/><br/>
It has Bontrager carbon handle bars and seat post... otherwise it's a stock build. You can check out the stock specs here... <a href="http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/2008/archive/fuelex9" target="_blank"><span style="color:yellow;">'08 Trek Fuel EX9</span></a> <br/><br/>

Saguaro National Park is considering a plan to allow bicycles on the 2.8 mile Hope Camp Trail. This trail starts at the end of Camino Loma Alta and hooks into the Arizona Trail leading up to Pistol Hill. <br/><br/>
They are taking comments until <b>May 1st, 2012</b><br/><br/>
Please! <i>show your support</i> by clicking here: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=NPS-2012-0001-0001" target="_blank"><span style="color:yellow;">Hope Camp Trail</span></a> and submitting a comment in favor of allowing bicycles on the Hope Camp Trail. <br/><br/>

We love bikes. Mountain, Single Speed, Cyclocross, Road, BMX, Tandem, Push, Unicycle, Tricycle, Downhill, Dirt Jump, Touring, Fixie, & many others. Some of us are fast; most of us are not. We dig like minded people. Some of us sit down to pee. Some of us stand up to pee. We drink beer. We dig entities that make bicycling more rad, like... <a href="http://epicrides.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:Orange;">Epic Rides</span></a>, <a href="http://racepacebicycles.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:Orange;">Race Pace Bicylces</span></a>, <a href="http://www.aztrail.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:Orange;">Arizona Trail Association</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.imba.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:Orange;">IMBA</span></a>.

Athena and I (Chino) completed our first over-night, mini-tour this past weekend, riding about 50 miles up the C&O Canal trail, camping, and returning the next day. We're planning on doing a lot of this, not only this summer, but into the foreseeable future.<br />
<br />
We learned a ton this weekend, both things to do and things not to do...and vetted a lot of our expectations one way or another. I'm going to be posting a lot about this as we continue, so to avoid clogging up the Pirates page, I've started new blog dedicated to just our touring escapades.<br />
<br />
You can read the whole story over at <a href="http://littleraysbike.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">Little Rays Touring Blog</span></a><br />

To summarize what this site is if you do not know it is a site where you upload your physical activity you do and it runs comparisons of the other members who have done the same kind of activity. It compares segments of your rides and tells you your performance and ranking for the locations you are riding. I strongly recommend all Pirates join up.
