The Hillsborough Mountain Bike Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mountain biking, trail building, protecting land access and the maintenance of trails on which mountain bikers ride.
I recently had the opportunity to take a trip over to Seattle to check out their unique down town bike park. Under the I-5 highway is where you will find the Colonnade. This city park is approximately 7.5 acres in size and was created in 2005 with the first bike trails opening in 2007.

Calling All Mountain Bikers!!!
I am organizing Gorefest again for 2010. I wanted to start this blog to keep everyone up to date to the progress of this year's event. I'm working on a lot of cool stuff to keep everyone going for the whole weekend!
Hmm, you may have logged in this morning/night and are left sitting there wondering what is up with the change to the site? Well, we've introcduced a few new things. First of all, we've upgraded the foundation that the website is sitting on. Same vehicle, better version.
Last year the Trailblazer/Cogeyed Builder of the Month Awards were a great success.
This year we've made it better!! Trailblazer has generously donated six prizes this year!! That means we're giving away a prize once a month for six months. (March 2010 - August 2010)
There have been many changes over the past year with ECMTB/Cogeyed. We have changed names, changed our look, and changed some personel during this time.
The ice race series is returning for 2010. There will be 4 races with the first being held on Silver Lake in the valley.
So get your tires studded, and your warm clothes on. Here's more info (sorry I couldn't get the image to copy!):
In high school Friday nights used to be the highlight of my week. I was doing well in school, had a great part time job, and had no real worries. I also had just bought my first real mountain bike and bike light and was discovering what riding was all about.
Chris Sanford is an avid cyclist whom has been riding since the age of five. Chris has been using his Norco Katmandu faithfully for all his riding up until now. For 2010 he will be riding a 2008 Norco Fluid and wearing the Sportwheels colours in the under 15 category.
I don't want to change into my winter riding gear. I don't want to get cold; I'd rather stay inside and watch a movie. But I drag my butt to the bedroom and put on my cycling tights and put on my layers. I locate my gloves and hat and helmet.
I arrive at the trailhead and begrudgingly get out of my car to take the bike off of the roof and put the light on my helmet and put my gloves on. I'm still not convinced I want to be here. It's bloody cold out here!
