Enter the Rossi BC 125

So if you haven't heard about this ski yet, the moment Rossi dropped hints about a fat wax-less BC ski there was allot of buzz. So here it is- If you like to get out an earn your turns , seek out powder, and make big lines in the back country as well as being super tourable? Then this ski has heard your call and hopefully answered it. At 90 under foot and 125 in the shovel this ski makes a Karhu guide look, well skinny and crusty~! Word has it that it will be available in a 165 and 175 to accommodate multiple skiers. I cannot wait to get our hands on this one and look forward to testing it out, which some of our guys did in Utah. Their only complaint you ask? These skis are so fat you might just gain weight, or lose it as you tour the backcoutry and make your best powder turns.
Till this season.

And if you need to get 'em bad?  Well here's the place... (click the picture)

An extraordinary man on an extraordinary journey!

It was a beautiful saturday in Vermont where I happened to meet an extraordinary man: Bruno. Bruno is traveling from Montreal to Boston. It just so happens that Bruno is doing this on his handcycle/wheelchair unsupported. I shared a short 30 minutes discussing what was the best route (14 or 100) and we decided that 100 would be his most scenic and worthwhile route through the Green mountains of Vermont. I couldn't help but feel a great connection with this traveling stranger whose home France was so very far away. But this is the gift of cycling, two strangers sharing in the adventure and spirit of cycling. The freedom to travel anywhere and where ever your body cares to take you.

We talked of the tour, the great Gaps, of Scleck and contador and of course the beautiful mountains where I will someday find myself, I'm sure of this. But for now we smiled, exchanged info, and I wished Bruno safe travel as he made his way off through downtown Montpelier. It just so happens he was born in Montpellier, France and he just had to see what its sister city looked like in VT!

So here's to Bruno, may your ride and journey find you well in Boston soon. But remember its what happens along the way that matters; ahhh I think you already know this! Safe journey my friend!

'Til our paths cross again!

What can Clif blok do for you?

When your tire just wont hold that tube because its tired side wall blows out on you like a gunshot in the air. This is what that useless clif bloc wrapper will do to get you out of the woods. Heres to Clif may they keep producing wonderful trail food that might just get you back to the parking lot for a cold beer!

Cheers!

Dirt or snow it's all about the line and the excitment that comes with it.

ORS in bicycling mag; wicked.
