Continental Top Contact Winter Tire Review
Guitar Ted Productions &bull Feb 16, 2012
The 26" version here...Continental Tires "Top Contact- Winter" Tire Review: Winter- a typical winter at any rate- would have seen this review happen a lot sooner than it has taken, but as most of you well know, this has been a "winter of little winter", so to speak.

The tires in question here went on my "Project Two Six" bike, which I built… Full Story »

Last weekend before winter
Up in Alaska &bull Feb 13, 2012
For every ominous challenge looming over the horizon, there must inevitably be a quiet weekend before. The lists are complete with gear sorted. Travel plans have been made, transportation arranged, training tapered, and fitness as good as it's going to get. All that can happen now is injury, sickness, panic ... Daily routines must go on, distances must be traveled, and pre-race chaos must ensue. But, by and large, this is a week of waiting. I am not great at waiting.
