Twenty or so friends and family of Don and Angee Baune travel to and from the Denver area to give of their time and resources as Amateur Radio Licensed Operators. Thanks to their cool and calm from dawn to dusk, the event happenings throughout the day were cared for. 
 
Utah State Highway Patrol, Grand County Sheriff's Department, and Moab City Police provided safety along the route as well as enjoyable send-off escort and return.   
 
We appreciate YOU...thank you!

Fezzari is proud to be a sponsor of the Moab Century Tour and The Skinny Tire Festival. We're particularly excited about this because it's an event in our back yard. Fezzari is a Utah-based manufacturer specializing in high-end road and mountain bikes.
 
What sets Fezzari apart? Why own a Fezzari? If you ask one of the thousands of customers who own a Fezzari, they'll say something like: "I like the quality," "I like the way it rides," "I like the way it fits," "I like the value."

How Effective is Training if you Don't Know Where You Are, or Where You're Headed?

We've all been there; determined that this is the time to push through to that next level of fitness. Sometimes we change our diets, sometimes we change our fitness routine, sometimes we try new products, new coaches, or new cycling routes. We pour our energy into it, giving ourselves a hundred percent believing if we just stick to it, it'll come. But often it simply does not. How are we to figure out why?

"Cycling is about two things: pain and revenge. It's about going through so much pain that you want revenge." Bob Roll

By now, most of you know who Bob Roll is, but in case you haven't seen his (in)famous color commentary on the Tour de France coverage (or Tour "Day Frants", as Bob would say), a little background is in order. He made a name for himself as one of the original members of the 7-Eleven Cycling Team, raced with Lance Armstrong, was on Greg LeMond's Z Team and finally became a cycling commentator for the Versus sports network's coverage of the Tour de France. But Bob was different than most cyclists. Bob was a character, through and through.

First of a Three Part Series

 

Only have time for a short Moab break but want to feel like a vacation? Try a Moab brea-cation! There are endless ways to spend those few extra hours that will leave you with breath-taking memories. In this first part of a three part series, we offer activities that will stimulate your sense and sooth your soul. From a kid-friendly walk in ancient dinosaur tracks, cool river running to experiencing the famous Slickrock mountain bike trail as it was originally created, on a dirt bike; the options will ensure your next visit to Moab will be unlike any other.

 

Rivers (summertime cool-down):

August in Moab brings the heat, so we'll start with a few hours cooling down with a Colorado River trip, known locally as "The Daily".  The red rock buttes provide a quintessential backdrop to an unexpected oasis of water, wildlife and rapids.  In fact, the exhilarating rapids will be the only distraction from the spectacular canyon carved by this might river.
