I need a pair of camping/riding shoes for a trip are taking to Arizona next month and my Tivas are about three years old and ready to fall off my feet. I think all give these specialized shoes a try.

I like your organized ride idea. Judging from their posts on the MTBR thread, Ron leaves an excellent family with our community.

Thanks for dropping by, Terry. Ride safe out there!

I ARRIVED AT THE PARK THE SAME TIME AS EMERGENCY CREWS WERE RUSHING IN TO THE TRAIL. IT WAS UNUSUALLY WARM FOR A FEB. DAY AROUND 80 DEG. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF COMING FROM CAVE CREEK WHERE IT’S BEEN MAYBE 70 DEG. AT THE PEAK OF THE DAY.
I THOUGHT THE FAMILY MIGHT WANT TO KNOW THIS IN CASE IT HAD ANY ROLE IN THIS TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I FELT PRETTY WARM ON MY RIDE SOON THEREAFTER. IT’S NOT THE TEMP. IT’S THE INTENSE SUN COMBINED WITH WIND AND AN INCREASE TEMP. COMBINING TO ACCELERATE VITAL SIGNS ON A PRETTY CHALLENGING TRACK.

I AM TRULY SORRY A FELLOW MATURE RIDER IS GONE… MAYBE AN ORGANIZED RIDE IN HIS HONER AT THE MCDOWELL PARK SHOULD BE PLANED WITH DONATIONS
GOING TO THE FAMILY. BEST WISHES!

Walked into Cartel in Tempe last week. Enjoyed the young art on the walls, thrilled to the warm scent of roasting beans right at the register, ogled one of the baristas. Did not, however, relish the latte.
Momentarily I’m resting my weary writing bones at XTreme Bean. Better, though not superb latte– + I can smoke from my outside table.
At least we’re not relegated to Starbucks!

Comment on 24 Ore di Roma – American-Style Mountain Bike Racing in Italy by Girl From Arizona

I used to mountain bike in Oregon. Love riding in the forest, hate riding in the desert. I stick to climbing in Finale. It’s equally famous for the thousands of limestone sport routes in the rocks that line the valleys feeding into the sea. The mtb is all bad-ass downhill. It looks freakin’ awesome, but I’m not near skilled enough to try it.

Comment on My Signs of a Divided Scottsdale by WanderingJustin

Cool, welcome to the area. Let me know if there’s anything in particular you want to find.

North Scottsdale wants to be like one of those cool ski towns … but it lacks the skiing!

I think Arcadia is where a lot of the foodie scene takes root. Places like Beckett’s Table, for instance. And I like the growth in ethnic foods here, especially the proliferation of Asian foods. We could use more of it.

Hi Justin,

I’m very new to the area and am trying to figure out the ins and outs of PHX, including culture and politics etc. So I’ve been browsing your blog a bit hoping for enlightenment

I’ve not experienced Scottsdale yet but have heard about the N/S differences. I’m expecting the north area to be similar to the very wealthy ski town where I recently lived in Colorado. It seems many of the great restaurants are there, so I’ll be making my way over very soon, hoping to put my finger on the pulse of the local foodie scene.

One thing about so many cities, such as Chicago, SF, Denver etc, is that the true gems seem to be *always* outside of the hipster “place to be” regions. I hope that in my future urban exploring I find a few of those jewels.

Hope you are well, and I’ll be back to visit! Cheers!

Well, that sounds like a ton of fun to me! Have you gotten into the mountain bike thing, or do you stick with rock climbing?

I don’t know much about 24h Roma, but 24h Finale in the northern Liguria region has been going on for more than 10 years and is one of the best international mtb races. It’s a huge party on the mesa overlooking in the Ligurean Sea where the race stages and the whole town is comes out for the night. This year they are introducing the World Endurance Solo championships a week before the traditional 24h race. The races are in May, and if you time it right you can also catch a leg of the Giro d’Italia in nearby Savona.
