Top 20
20 year old Wout Van Aert wins. JPow cracks top twenty. The dunes of Koksijde look insane. Massive crowds.
Little Nys
Is Thibau going to be better than dad? Do you secretly wish you started riding at his age?
Dickson Street
Did it just get a little cooler?
Thanksgiving
OCA wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving! I for one am thankful for the new handlebars in my garage. Super ergonomic grips. Notice how easily I can push that red button with my thumb. Yes the new ride is incredibly smooth. Not a peep from baby Fitz. I might be upgrading to aero wheels very soon though.

THURSDAY

Turkey Roll ride. Leaving @ 8:15am from Lewis & Clark Outfitters in Springdale. We’ve been doing this for several years and it’s a great way to get the day started for all that good, healthy food many of us will be partaking of with friends and family. All cyclists are welcome. There will be two to three groups on the road. There are several bail out points and alternative ways to come back home…there is something for everyone!

OCA
I wished I had started Cycling the first time I thought about giving it a try. I was 17, just quit Judo (was a nationally ranked player), 5’4″ 121lb trying to gain weight. Build just like a pro MTBer. If only I had started then and not at 22, 5’6″ 167lb. What would of happened then…
I believe most of the pro enduro racers are in 165 lb range and based on Pinbike the pro enduro racers are the ones commanding the top salary range of the MTB disciplines.
If anyone is up for some more wheel time after the Thursday Turkey Roll let me know. We can go out Round Mt or Beaver Lake loops pretty easily from Lewis & Clark after the holiday ride.
Tuesday night ride leaves from Moped U, right?
