Happy Thanksgiving, Lambert Park
With perfect weather for this time of year, I shirked the amassing family for an hour so I could slip out and enjoy some Turkey Day singletrack in Lambert Park. With temperatures in the mid-40’s and sunny skies, it’s about as good as it gets for mountain biking in November. Living 5 minutes away from Lambert [...]Smith Parallel Max Sunglasses Review
Smith has come out with quite a number of sunglasses and goggles over the years. I can recall back in the day, both the sunglass and goggle options were pretty basic, but today the options in designs, colors, lenses and fit are head-spinning.

Nextag.com is a price comparison search site that will find you the best prices on anything. I just found a Osprey Elroy courier bag for $75 and they normally go for at least $95.

Hey now,
here's a couple of links to some of my favorite shopping sites for gear, haven't yet compared them to other sites linked to this page.
REI Outlet offers bargins and closeouts from REI
Next Adventure is a great gear shop in Portland offering new and resale outdoor gear as well as shopping online. They buy and trade stuff too.
