My collection of bicycles will almost double in about 3 months this summer. I have to say, this addition to the fleet is pretty damn cool. Feast your eyes on the 2006 Specialized F.A.C.T.(functional advanced composite technology) Carbon S-Works hardtail frame. It weighed in at the shop with our highly accurate fish scale at 2.9 [...]

5…4…3…2…1….GO. Just like dust in the wind, were off like rockets. This years racing season kicked off with the Erik’s Spring Cup at Harmon Hills. I flat, fast, lung busting sprint from start to finish. I was hoping to have a good showing this season. At least an improvement over last year. Last year I [...]
