Hey Folks,

Had a couple fantastic school shows in Maine, so much enthusiasm with all the students and all the volunteers helping make this tour happen. Went out to the beach in Rockland today with Ian, ‘the’ local trials rider, and I was blown away, world class granite rocks with endless lines. A couple blown spokes and a lingering cold ended the session, but I’d love to go back sometime. It was refreshing to get out and ride rocks, especially by the ocean, the Atlantic ocean!!

On a different note, check out my friend Jack Christie’s new website, he is a fantastic media man, whether writing articles on the active west coast lifestyle, or profiling people and athletes who love to play in the outdoors, he does it with charm and sincerity. His new book “Best Weekend Getaways” is worth checking out if you live on the West Coast; Jack, along with his wife Louise, write from experience, so it is sure to be hit.

As Jack always says, “Take it easy, but take it!”.
