Just got a text on my phone from Pat's daughter that he will be taken off life support today.

Re: Re: Pat is in dire condition, in Intensive Care at the local hospital. He had a relapse of his pneumonia, and then had a stroke on top of that.

I'm home now, but I left an electronic footprint, a documentation of one of the wilder days of my month long visit to the UK. Two YouTube videos and a lengthy article by Singletrack World editor Hannah Dobson, all came out of a day that included a night ride, a couple of video sessions, and a...

I don't know what happened with the Look Mum gig. I as expecting to speak there right up until that morning. Somebody else booked the place for a company party, so instead of going there I had dinner in Brixton with Graeme and a couple of his friends. Sorry I missed any of you who might have come.

Been a couple of weeks in UK now, spoke in Manchester, Aylesbury, Fort William and a few other places. My host today is Neil Cresswell in Penrith. Hope a few of you turn out for the talks.

I barely know what I am doing day to day in UK. I get handed a train ticket and a phone contact, and i go where they send me. Look at the FB page for Fat Tire Flyer UK & Europe.

I now have a sample page for people interested in supporting my Mountain Bike Legacy Project. Purchases of my Fat Tire Flyer products also support that page. You can find them in UK on the book of faces. Remember, I am also in UK for the next few weeks on my lecture tour, so I hope a few...

Will there be a RB welcoming committee for me at Heathrow? I had one last year at Gatwick. Landing 1:15 p.m. Friday.

I have a nine day gap between Lake District and channel coast on my lecture tour, 20 October to 29th. If anyone wants me on the Isle, PM and I will put you in touch with my people.

Re: Today's ride was the "Hall of Fame" ride, which takes place the morning of the annual induction ceremony. About 40 riders took part, including Tom Ritchey, Joe Breeze, Jacquie Phelan, Steve Peat, and Wende Cragg. Top of the first climb, Jacquie very famously had the jersey off, her...

Got home from Colorado last Monday. Wrote the story the next morning. sold it within hours to Singletrack World. Dropped a mention of it here in "Today's Ride. Chipps tells me he bumped another story in order to get mine into the current issue. Here I am with Joe Breeze, at a location I...

Here is my Flickr album.

The story is too long to tell here, it ran to 2000 words, but the short version is that I joined Joe Breeze as the only other relic from the 1978 Crested Butte to Aspen ride at the 40th anniversary celebration.

In 1978 Gary Fisher, Joe Breeze, Wende Cragg, Mike Castelli and I all drove 1000 miles to Crested Butte, because we heard they were into the same stuff we were. It turned out that they weren't, but as soon as they saw the new bikes from California, they jumped all over the concept. This year...

This is pretty far from "retro," but it is hand built by a retro guy, so here are the pix.

I just got the dates, but not the venues. I will be in UK 9 October to 1 November.

When I was a full time rock band roadie in the sixties and seventies, our tours didn't have names. It was just the names of the bands. My representatives in UK asked whether I would like to call my next UK lecture tour this fall the "Mountain Bike Legacy Tour." My tour has a title. I have...

Re: My friends from Fat Tire Flyer UK and Europe will be there pushing the logo merchandise.
