GoPro Hero 5mp Wide Angle Cameras
I have been looking for ways to increase functionality and usefulness of the site, and I concluded that video would be the best way to bring more interesting content to you guys. The idea is to have video footage of all of the product reviews and incorporate it into as many of the riding and maintenance tips as we can.
Another Great Day – Blankets Creek
It is not very often that you get to have a weekend this great. The weather was absolutely perfect for riding, so after yesterdays mountain excursion…it was time for some local fun with the “family”. Jenn is getting better by the week at riding, and this is very exciting to watch.
The Perfect Morning Mountain Bike Rides
It was Saturday morning. I headed down to Blankets Creek to get in an early morning ride to beat the heat. Just like I expected, I was one of 3 cars in the parking lot this early. Usually, this parking lot is filled with over 40 cars on a weekend. The morning fog hadn’t even lifted off the lake yet and I started to get ready for my ride.
My Soapbox Rant on Mountain Bike Trail Building
I don’t normally do this on Mountain Biking by 198, but I am now. One of the benefits of having a blog is the ability to speak your mind on subjects, and one of the great things about the comments section is that you can share yours! So here it goes…
Blankets Creek – The VMT
First, how did the Van Michael Loop get it’s name? One of the local businesses in the area, Van Michael Salon, donated $10,000 towards the construction of this new loop for Blankets Creek. Personally, I have absolutely zero problem with naming the trail after them. One, they are supposedly avid mountain bikers, so they are supporting the sport they love.
A Great Day for a Grind
What is a Grind? For me, it’s one of those days that you hit the trail with every intention of working your heart rate to death. These are those rides that really help your fitness out in the long run, and make your destination rides that much better.
2nd Day on the Bike…
One of the great things about this blog is that I get to cover industry news, parts and personal experiences. When it comes down to it, my greatest joy is getting out on the trail, and now I get to share it with the woman that I am going to spend my life with. Things couldn’t be any better.
First time on the bike is a huge success…
In my attempt to populate the world with more mountain bikers, I thought I would start at home! Most of you have probably already seen the thread on Johnny’s girlfriend aka. my future wife’s new bike. Yesterday we got the change to get it dirty for the first time at Blankets Creek in Woodstock, GA. Blankets Creek is probably the best beginner trail that I am aware of.
