As you can see, some bike rides with your friends are just about rolling around town and having fun with friends.

Get Rad.

Bennet woman races bikes nationally, internationally

By PETER SALTER / Lincoln Journal Star | Posted: Monday, September 27, 2010 12:50 am

BENNET -- Her friends should be used to all of this by now -- her derailleur talk, her problematic shifters, her Spandex, her road rash and bruises and broken teeth.

But still.

"All my old lady friends, they just roll their eyes. ‘Oh, Nancy. We can't believe you're doing that.'"

She's one of them. Nancy Brown, 68-year-old retired real estate agent and Bible-studying grandmother who sits at the organ at Southview Baptist Church.

When she's not sitting on her bike.... (cont)

Last Chance to Fix the Bridge

Terry Genrich from the Lincoln Parks and Rec needs your help to get
funding to repair the Bison Trail bridge just south of Van Dorn. Terry
is working on a grant that is due at the end of the month, and letters
from the citizens of Lincoln could be the driving factor of getting this
grant passed. All you need to do is write a short letter to Terry
saying Why you think the bridge needs to be repaired/replaced, and how
you use this bridge. Letters need to be received no later than September
27th to addresses below. Thanks for your support!

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
