Hey Buckaroos, just got back this evening from spending three days playing on Mary's, Lion's & Steve's Loops at the beginning of the Kokopelli. Also rode from...
Just wondering what the pace generally is on this ride. I'm all for a good workout, but I'm not quite sure how to pace myself for three solid days of ridding....
Hi Eladio, Since you are from Texas, you may be used to seeing the type of country we will be in. I'm not! I still am left speechless even yet when I look at...
Guys and gals, I've never been on the Kokopelli trail, but I'm a veteran of long mtb rides in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, NY, etc. and believe me, if you...
I'm going to sound off on this one, as it's pretty important. The pace is best described as casual, and as one vet put it, the key is to never put yourself...
Hi Eladio, I was part of the Bikerpelli tour last year and I've ridden the first section of the trail several times. I was asking the same questions you are...
Hey All, Thanks for the great feedback everyone. It sounds like this is going to be the right crowd to ride with. My question was asked with a bit of nervous...
Just got some spam about a new book – The Cyclist’s Food Guide. Seemed appropriate to pass it on. They say they’ll send excerpts if you request them. ...
How long should it take to get a Stans Tubeless tire system. I ordered one on March 29th, and still don't have it? I went thru a local bike shop to get it....
Eric, Just guessing, if your LBS's dist'r didn't have it in stock, they probably ordered it directly from Stan's. (Thank You for supporting your LBS. I hope...
I hope everyone has their hydration plan down. The "Trail" is not the time to experiment. Hope you know what you like because you'll be sucking it down for...
Nancy, Not sure if you've been to the west, but be forewarned, it can be very DRY and SUNNY. Bring skin lotion, sun screen, and lip balm. Don't apply the...

Speck, I checked out the website and I can't find anything there that describes why these tubes are cat's meow. They claim they are the best, but nothing there...
I have them and I love them. I used them last year and the only problem I had was when I didn't inflate the tire enough. Otherwise I have never had a pinch ...

Two solutions I know of. First, as awful as it may sound, scoop out a tablespoon of Bag Balm before the ride & smear it in your crotch or on your chamois -...
