Camelback Havoc
I picked this up from Nashbar last month. I’m still getting to know it but from what I can see so far this is one serious piece of gear. I am able to carry my homemade SLR camera case in it, a full bladder, a […]
Pungo 120
Pungo 120 When it comes to canoes and kayaks, I’m not picky. I enjoy spending time on the water and being as close to the surface that these watercraft allow. I’ve tried quality boats as well as basic models found at your local box […]
Storm Chaser Rain Jacket
I almost didn’t buy what ended up being my favorite jacket of all time. I was in need of a new cycling jacket after fumbling with some cheapie versions for a few years. I was looking for something with a “Tall” cut and something un-insulated. […]

Le Noise / Neil Young
Neil Young Le Noise When I first heard that Neil Young had collaborated with Daniel Lanois I was ecstatic. Young, the consummate working class musician, the Godfather of Grunge and the songwriter with the heart of gold being produced by the mercurial Lanois would […]
The Lost Cyclist / David Herlihy
The Lost Cyclist By David V. Herlihy There is a 7.5 mile loop that I ride when I’m pressed for time. I know how long it should take me if I push it a bit and I know pretty much how long it will take […]
