Pocahontas States Park: All it took was a few warm days and the ticks are out. So if you ride PSP, make sure to check yourself or wear repellant. Freedom Park: James City County has informed us that construction clearing for the Interpretive Center began yesterday. There will be parking challenges from now until the end of construction. During construction parking will be permitted along the roadway inside the park. Please do not impede traffic and use good judgment, especially when it’s wet.
The draft of the Senate's transportation authorization bill, S. 1813 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, includes language that would introduce a mandatory sidepath law on roads in our National Parks and other Federal lands. It requires cyclists on Federal lands to use a path or trail, instead of roads, if the speed limit is over 30 MPH and a trail exists within 100 yards, regardless of its condition or utility of the path. The provision sets a terrible precedent. Passing it would send the wrong message to transportation agencies that these policies are acceptable. Laws like this have been taken off the books in states over the past 30 years. This takes us in the wrong direction. http://www.bikeleague.org/petition/

http://www.vabike.org/ A ride report from the Grand Opening weekend. The rest of the High Bridge Trail State Park 31 mile long trail has been open for 18 months now, while the bridge itself has been undergoing its conversion from a railroad bridge to a bridge for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders. For months the word has been “Opening early April” and “Watch our website for the announcement”. Finally, on Monday, April 2nd the website announces that the bridge will open on Friday, April 6th. Hurriedly, the call goes out to the RABA list for a contingent to make the trip out to Farmville on Saturday to check out the eastern end of the trail, bridge and all.

OUTLIER Tailored Performance Clothing for a Life in Motion

Like many Outlier products, this adventure started with the material. In one of our many fabric hunts we stumbled across something very different, almost alien. Insanely lightweight, fully waterproof and many times stronger than steel. Technically it's called nonwoven Dyneema, and we knew when we saw it we would have to do something with it. We just didn't know what. When we encountered the elegantly pared back nonwoven Dyneema packs of Hyperlite Mountain Gear we knew we had to do something with them. http://outlier.cc/
http://www.allweathercyclist.com/ The Red River Ice Skating trail is now officially closed. We have had an incredible warm spell here in Winnipeg. Trust me, no one is complaining! Being able to take the ice road to work everyday has allowed me to shave about 5 minutes off my commute. There is truly no smoother road in all of Manitoba.
