    Revisiting this post 17 years later.... It's been almost 20 years since I lost my eye, and I've ridden more years with one eye than with two by now. The two areas I notice a difference are riding in mottled lighting, particularly when it's rocky and riding next to someone where I tend to ride...

    I'm still adjusting, even after almost three years. I find myself overcompensating for more technical riding, particularly when in the shadows. I tend to push my weight back further and slow down a bit more than I want. I figure that one day I'll be back to "normal" riding. Yep, I just...

    Damn, John! I'm not THAT good! Thanks for the props, though. I just like to ride technical trail. There are many, many better riders than me...think of a certain bike shop in town that sells their own brand..... Anyway, I hope to be back to visit in August some time. D

    Wow. I had no idea this thread existed until today. Many thanks to everyone's thoughts, prayers, support, etc. I can't believe it was almost three years ago when this happened. I kind of vaguely remember the whole experience. I think I got the infection, staphylococcus aureus...

    Help fight Texas Helmet Law

    I thought the same thing. When are people going to 1) take responsibility for their actions and 2) realize that more laws do NOT make our society better? I agree with trialsmasta about the harder driving test, etc. Motorists need to be more aware of cyclists and respect our rights...

    Saturday Austin area ride - 05-20-206

    I'll be riding the Goodwater Trail on the north side of Lake Georgetown this Saturday. Meet at Overlook Park ready to ride at 9 AM. Give yourself an hour to get from central Austin. The trail is rocky (loose and imbedded) with great flow, cacti, a couple of wet creek crossings, and lake...

    Hydration pack question

    I have two Mules, one for riding and one for hiking/trail building. They've made some great improvements over the years. The newer ones have height adjustable sternum straps that slide on a little rail. What I do in the summer to keep the pack flat against my back is fill it half way with...

    how do people with cats have nice things?

    Also, make sure their food and their litter boxes are not close to each other. In my experience, cats will communicate a problem to you indirectly, kind of like a woman. :p J/K about the woman part. Anyway, keep their litter box(es) clean daily and make sure they have fresh water. Oh, and...
