Frost Bike QBP

Damon, Tony, Tom, and myself made it up to the show in Minneapolis to check out what QBP had for new product this 2010 season. Damon and I had the "wow" tour of the QBP facility. Good food, cool product, nice people, and familiar faces in the Surly, Salsa, and Shimano booths made the trip worth while. Salsa has a new rack line that we will be stocking for you adventure cyclists out there. Surly is keeping strong and we are sooooper excited for the black LHT that will be available later this summer. We had Pugsley envy. Good show.

Schwalbe tires will be in-stock and ready to buy. We have a dealer agreement with Schwalbe this year. This will expand the line of tires that we can get from them. By going direct we can get whatever is under the sun, or rather what is in their catalog.

I think i got in the last ski today. Keller and I made it out to Pawnee lake and skied around. Pretty fun.

No pictures. Sorry.

S240-Sub 24 Hour Overnights

"If you have to work for a living and don't have summers off, bike camping is easier to fit in, and the easiest way of all is with Sub-24 Hour Overnight (S24O) trips. You leave on your bike in the late afternoon or evening, ride to your campsite in a few hours, camp, sleep, and ride home the next morning. It's that simple, and that's the beauty of it. You can fit it in. It requires almost no planning or time commitment. In the past four years I've done more than fifty of them, and I'm no planner."--http://www.rivbike.com/article/bike_camping/camping_vs_touring

Biking and paddling

Wagon Train State Rec. Area

Paddling and Biking can be done close to home or far from your doorstep. Lincoln has a handful of Recreation Areas within 30 minutes of downtown that are wonderful areas to paddle around and explore. Take a bike and some camping gear and get out of the city for a weekend with your family. Truly experiences that your children will talk about for the rest of their lives. Check out the links below for some perspectives on world travelers boating and biking abound.

Big Wheeled Ballyhoo Demo--Don't Miss It!

Giant's XTC 29 1 brings cross-county agility and precision to the 29er revolution. Giant's ALUXX SL aluminum frame is super-durable while remaining lightweight. When you add that quick frame to dialed XC geometry and a buttery-smooth 100mm-travel Fox fork, you get one fast steed that's ready to take you on insanely fun off-road adventures. You'll love the Shimano drivetrain which features the low-profile Shadow XT rear derailleur and 27 crisp-shifting speeds for tackling tough ascents. On the way down, Avid Juicy disc brakes deliver stop-on-a-dime power right when you need it. And, don't forget Giant's large 29-inch wheels that are ready to roll over anything in their path!
