Fall foliage voting results and trail snack voting

don't forget to hydrate

The polls have closed and we have a winner.

Our question was, "What is your favorite way to view fall colors?"

58% of you preferred to view them on the seat of a bicycle.
33% of you preferred to view them while hiking or backpacking
9% of you preferred to view them in the comfort of your car.

I wouldn't exactly call the survey scientific since the people who visit our website are usually trail lovers so they have a tendency to enjoy biking and hiking. But I like the results, so I'm glad to publish them.

trick or treat on the trail

Our newest poll (in the column to your left) is a Halloween themed survey. In honor of trick-or-treating, we'd like to know which treat does the trick for you when you hit the trail. Do you prefer Power Bars, Luna Bars, Clif Bars, Gu Energy Gel, or trail mix?
We know there are many other choices, so of course we have the ubiquitous "other" as a choice also.


Cast your vote today and come back on November 10 to see the results.

bike storage

It's not quite time to store your bike for the winter, but it will be soon. Even if you're lucky enough to live in a place where you can ride your bike all winter, you'll probably at least want it out of the way so you can get at your skis and muckalucks. Does anyone wear muckalucks anymore? Did they ever?

Start preparing for winter.

Anyway, there was an article in today's newspaper about bike storage, so I thought I'd share with you so you would have some good bike storage ideas or at least get you to thinking about where you'll keep your bicycle during the cold months ahead.
