Seriously. Same happened to me and a US/Canadian friend going from Seattle to Van with bikes and booze. They took a liter of wine from me (I was going to a dinner party) and weren't going to let us in unless we had C$5000 in cash. Luckily I had prexactly that amount in my pocket in checks...
Additional luggage restrictions were put in place in May 2011 by United, Continental, Lufthansa and others in that alliance. North America - Europe transoceanic fees are particularly high, $400 r/t right now (golf clubs, and ski/snowboard kits are of course free). Bike policies are now...
I used one to slacken and lower a VP free and it's been working well. About 8 months on it now. I don't notice much difference between it and the Fox DHX 5.0 it replaced. Adjustments are responsive. I'd buy one again because of the price.
I've flown Washy DC to Lima with my DH bike. What Alexis and Heezy say above is the same as my experience. I broke my frame into two pieces that together with the fork and wheels all fit into two regular large sized plaid suitcases and $8 camping mats wrapped around for protection and pipe...
Also: google Urge Kenya: a race down Mt Kenya with some well known Canuckistanis and French gravity riders last year. Vids and all. 2 DAYS self-propelled climbing and 2 hours descending. I want to do it.
Yeah Mike, I do get over there a bit. I work for a multilateral agency on land. I've been to Malawi for work, and Uganda quite a lot, not Burundi yet. In fact I'm writing from Nigeria right now. Let's stay in touch off-line. I'm hoping to ride some big eastern African mtns.....
And...damn...
Nothing better than some tossing, pantylining, and don't forget hoeing. In fact, I'm going to try to bring a bunch of hoes back from a farmers' market here in Nigeria. So everyone itching to maintain trails can lend a helping hand. $5/hoe.
This is great. Some ideas to rapidly get a credible trail system up and running that can help pull in the numbers needed to make the project financially viable.
• Diverse mix of trails – trail quality is the most important criterion for any bike park. DH, FR, AM, jumps, natural...
It is an incomprehensible stretch to say hunger won't rise won't Burly. More than that, as food prices rise in much of the developing world, economic progress that has been made by countries is being lost (despite the negative reports, which are often incomplete)...
...And also increasing demand for food, especially meat, in China as that country grows. At aggregate, more meat production generally (but not always) means reduced land available for growing vegetables and grain. In many production landscapes around the world, we're now arguably at the limit...
I'm not sure where in WV is the best but very close to WV are three options.
I'd recommend Sherando, VA. And closer to DC I'd recommend Elizabeth Furnace, also in VA but very very close to WV. Both are epic.
Perhaps the best XC track I've ridden in VA/WV is Confederate Breastworks trail...
