Bag to the Future
How CamelBak changed the way we all ride
By: Vernon Felton

You know you’re in for some suffering when the ride you sign up for is called the “Hotter ‘N Hell 100”. This is especially true if you are doing said ride in Wichita Falls, Texas during the month of August. In fact, in August of 1988, when a young road rider named Michael Eidson lined up for the Texas century, the mercury was consistently pushing past a hundred degrees Fahrenheit in Wichita Falls, which made Eidson ponder the following question: How the hell am I going to possibly get enough water?

Thoughts on Timmy Duggan and Quiting
If cycling fans haven’t heard, Timmy Duggan decided to retire from professional cycling. I’m sure it was a very hard decision for him. Here is a great interview from Velonews.com on what lead to the decision.

I loved how he talked about using cycling to learn how to set goals and achieve things. Cycling is great in this way.

This carries through to my home and work life.

What really struck me was how he talks about cycling being a part of you, but making sure that you have other parts of your life that are important. I believe this also means having something to fall back on. In Timmy’s case, this is skiing and his family business in real estate.

I started cycling at 21, and never thought about cycling as a career. I know a lot of younger guys that are…

Due to the ice storm that came busting up all our plans last week Rudolph’s Revenge will be delayed until January 26th.

With the full inch of ice that we still had covering the entire trail yesterday the race just wasn’t going to happen this Saturday. But, I’m very happy to report that we have been allowed to re-schedule the race for Sunday January 26th, 2014.

I’m super pumped about all the good vibes out there for the race. It certainly seems like there are a lot of people very…
