News

Ok, So the last couple of weeks have been really wet. We can't get to our favorite climbing area this weekend because everything is flooded. Some areas got 2 ft. of rain in 1 day! This is not the nice rain like Oregon. This is the sticky hot tropical rain. At least it is supposed to be clear this weekend. Back to Insu-bong

I am also really upset that Korean TV does not show the tour. I want to SEE Landis kick ass, not just read about it and watch little half hour blips in Chinese via the internet at 3am two days after the stage. The biggest bonk followed by the biggest comeback perhaps in the whole history of cycling. Simply amazing! A lot can happen in the next two days, but I predict (after predicting then not predicting) that Landis will wear yellow in Paris. That man has mojo, serious motivation and a giant motor.

Also, stoked on ski season. Tentatively, Mel and I are leaning toward Kicking Horse in Golden, BC. It has 4,000+ ft. of vert. (4th only to Jackson, Big Sky, and Whistler) and 4000+ acres of awesome terrain. Plus, weekday passes are around $300US. Think Jackson when they first put in the tram! Mel is stoked on her new tele set up, K2 Schi Devil w/ G3 Targa Roxi and I am excited for my new Garmont EnerG. Finally the 4 buckle tele boot I have been waiting for.

Nice predition on the tour. What kind of lift service is in
Golden?

You compared it to the tram in Jackson so I'm guessing tram? Might be a cool resort but we won't get to ski with you much being so far away :-( and I still think Mel should have gone down hill, but what can I say...

Enjoy,
Graham
