Build your dream bike from Specialized and ERIK'S with the new S-Build Program
New for the 2015 Model Year, Specialized and ERIK'S will be offering the S-Build Program. For those who wouldn't think of buying "off the shelf," the S-Build program allows you to create the ideal bike in look and performance. The first options available in this platform are the S-Works Tarmac and the S-Works Epic. Unique and limited edition colors and paint designs are part of what makes S-Build so great, but the other part is how you can dial in your ride and choose the parts you want. Add a Body Geometry Fit in the mix, and you've got a lightning fast bike that is tailored to your sense of style, your body and especially your riding style.
S-Build Tarmac
The S-Works Tarmac is available in a handful of colors and options – Frame sets start as frame, fork and seatpost that you select components for, while disc modules include disc compatible wheels from Roval. The first options available for colorways are the "Lean" shown below, "Clean" (a blacked out subdued design), or the "Mean" shown in the feature image above. Currently, other color options for the Tarmac include the Team Saxo design or a very special Michael Kwiato limited edition colorway. Stop by one of the MN or WI ERIK'S locations to see what other colors might pop up.
Customization Options
Once you've settled on a frameset or module from those available, the next step is picking the components. Choose the right crankset, chainrings, stem and bar, along with the bits that make your bike truly yours such as cable housing, bar tape and saddle. We recommend that you work with one of ERIK'S Body Geometry Fit Technicians to ensure that the handlebar, saddle and stem not only look good but make your time in the saddle more enjoyable.
S-Works Epic
Not to be left out, mountain bikers can get in the game too with the S-Build Epic – either as the S-Works Epic 29 or the S-Works Epic World Cup 29, and just the same as the Tarmac above, you can choose some standard colors as well as more adventurous options, so when you toe the line at your next race or trail ride, people will know your by your bike – possibly by your speed as well.
The S-Works Epic Lean above is flashy yet clean, but it's more than a show piece. The S-Works Epic is the first full-suspension mountain bike to win a World Championship, but it didn't stop there; ridden by the likes of Burry Stander, Jaroslav Kulhavy, and Rebecca Rusch among others, the Epic is race proven by pros and weekend warriors alike. Exact spec of this bike is determined by the model, but here are a few variations available in the S-Build program for the Epic…
Customization Options
As with the Tarmac, riders can choose from a handful of options to create their dream bike. ERIK'S staff can help you select the right shifting and braking components to complete your new ride. When selecting and ordering your new bike with ERIK'S and S-Build, you know immediately what is available, and there is no time difference between these unique options and any other special order. Your bike ships to the store where one of ERIK'S trained mechanics builds it up and gets it dialed for the best season of riding yet!
To ensure that all parts are properly selected and your new bike meets both your and our standards, S-Build is only available at one of our Minnesota or Wisconsin locations, so stop in today and get started on designing your new ride. Items included here are often limited runs, so ask an ERIK'S staff what's currently available, and stay tuned for new limited edition colorways!
Best Burton Snowboard for Park Riders – Burton Blunt
What's the best board for freestyle riders? Look no further than the Burton Blunt. A good freestyle board is flexible for jibbing but with enough pop to get you up on boxes, rails or kickers, and the Blunt has got all of that plus more to spare.
The Blunt is a playful freestyle board that's perfect for tearing up the park or running groomers. Available in standard widths as well as wides, Burton's got you covered if you need a good park board for your big feet. The Blunt is built with a Flat Top shape that is flat underfoot with early-rise tip and tail for catch free jibbing and a forgiving landing if you under/over rotate. Plus the Pro-Tip technology in the tip and tail reduce the weight in these areas for lower swing weight and easier rotation. The jib-friendly construction has a torsionally soft feel that is fun and forgiving.
Whether you're new to freestyle or well-seasoned, having your stance dialed is critical. The Blunt includes Burton's exclusive EST Channel System for fine-adjustment that's super easy. Twin shape and flex make the Blunt a capable board in standard and switch positions to help boost your confidence game. The channel on the blunt comes with a three year warranty so you can ride in confidence.
We recommend pairing the Blunt with any of Burton's EST bindings for best performance, but we especially like the pairing with the Burton Cartel binding. If you're the type of rider who likes to modify their stance on the hill, make sure you've got the EST Tool and you can spend less time adjusting and more time riding your perfectly dialed stance. This season, give the Blunt a try and elevate your park game.
Introducing the all new Specialized Fatboy SE
We just got a new Fatboy in town – the Specialized Fatboy SE dropped this week from Specialized and it's just in time to make the most of your winter riding. The Fatboy family of bikes is generating a lot of buzz because of excellent spec, great values and an awesome ride, and this model just makes it available to more riders.
Built on the same great M4 Premium Aluminum frame as the rest of the Fatboy models, the Fatboy SE swaps out the carbon fork for an aluminum model and features a Tektro Aries disc brake. The Fatboy SE is built up with a SRAM x5 drivetrain set up 2×10 to push you through a winter wonderland.
The color on this model is also great for riders looking to customize the look of their ride with other colors since the matte charcoal is low key. The same great Fatboy SL rims are included and mounted up with a 60 TPI Ground Control tire. Best of all, the Specialized Fatboy SE is only $1500 – What are you waiting for, get out and ride this winter with ERIK'S!
Burton Gore-Tex Gloves and Mittens – the best in warmth and waterproofing.
Gloves and mittens are one of those pieces skiers and snowboarders often overlook – you probably picked the perfect jacket and made sure it looked good/worked well with your pants. Being comfortable (warm and dry) means the difference between enjoying a great day on the hill or mountain versus tucking your tail and heading back home a wet mess. We always recommend a good pair of gloves or mittens and we'll go so far to say that two pairs is a must for any serious skier or boarder. Between working zippers, holding poles or strapping into snowboard bindings and all the things you do with your hands, they have to work all the time. Even better if a you can work a camera, your phone or open a package of food so you can refuel without taking off your gloves.
Mittens or Gloves?
Everyone has a say in this debate. Gloves give you the best dexterity and are great for people who like to express themselves with more than a thumbs up sign after a great run, but on the coldest days they can leave some people cold. Mittens are the warmest option and give the best high-fives, but to work with a phone or camera, they can be a little tricky. We like having both kinds in our arsenal because conditions can change and a spare set of gloves is always a good thing.
Burton/Gore Tex – names to count on.
Burton makes some of the best mittens and gloves for snowboarding; so good that many skiers use them, and that's totally cool by us. Gore Tex is renowned for its waterproof properties while still being breathable so you can sweat in Burton Gore Tex gear all day long and still be comfortable. All of the gloves and mitts in the Gore Tex collection are two piece with a four-way stretch liner (removable) and a waterproof/breathable outer shell meaning you can use each on their own or as a system for whatever the conditions call for. With features like Screen Grab palms, you can operate a phone or smart device without taking off your mitts, and with Sticky Icky Grip Palms, its not easy to drop your phone from the chairlift.
When the day is over, just pull the liners out of the Gore Tex shell and let your gloves or mittens dry out for another epic day of riding. Build to be warm with Thermacore insulation and tough with a synthetic leather palm, you can ride all day long with Burton Gloves or Mittens. Click on an image above to go to a specific style, or see them all at the collection link to the left.
Burton Ruler Boot – unmatched freestyle performance.
Are you looking for the perfect freestyle snowboard boot? Look no further than the Burton Ruler. Whether you like surfing turns on powder days or running park laps, the Ruler is a boot that has proven its worth over the years and deserves its rightful place between you and your board.
With features like a Shrinkage™ Footprint Reduction Technology, Speedzone™ lacing, Power Spine backstay and more, the Ruler is fine-tuned to deliver a responsive boot that still lets you tweak and grab with style. All riders, but especially those with large feet will appreciate the Shrinkage technology that reduces the exterior boot size by a full size. This means that everyone can benefit from low or even NO toe-drag! Speedzone lacing makes getting the right support a breeze.
When the mercury drops, riders will appreciate the Thinsulate™ insulation to keep them warm and the B3 Gel in the sole that works to cushion impacts even in the coldest weather. The Imprint 2 Liner is heat-moldable for a custom fit and sports Hot Pockets to boost the warmth on the coldest days because after all, the cold just keeps the fair-weather riders away!
At the heart of the boot, the Power Spine backstay allows riders excellent toe to heel response but doesn't limit flex from side to side letting you flex and feel the terrain as well as pull a fully-extended stalefish with ease. Strategic flex notches in the boot outer also allow for even flex when pressing or tweaking.
This season look no further than the Ruler for freestyle performance on the big mountain or the backhills, and with Erik's Boot Love guarantee, you can be confident in your selection. Find the perfect fit at one of our Minnesota or Wisconsin locations or online today and enjoy the season!
Specialized Fatboy 20″ and 24″ Preview
If you hadn't already heard, The Specialized Fatboy has been a popular bike ever since it's launch last year, and the interest in fat bikes is growing more and more every year. The big question for riders who already know the allure of fat bikes is – when are they going to make a kid's version? The following Fatboys are reported to be coming soon, but as of now, delivery and pricing is not published for the US market.We got the following info from the internet and put it together in one place to give you the answer to questions you might have. Take a look at these great looking models for the little rippers – we'll keep you posted as soon as they're available for order and in Erik's locations.
UPDATE – The first shipment of these bikes is expected in mid-december, and both sizes will retail for $999.99. We will have information on our website by the end of the weekend here, but you can pre-order one today at any of our 22 Erik's locations.
2015 Specialized Fatboy 24
Inspired by the adult version of the Fatboy, the 2015 Specialized Fatboy 24 is built on a fully-butted A1 Premium Aluminum frame and fork and features a 1×9 drivetrain anchored by a Sram X4 rear deraileur and a trigger shifter. Designed for kids on the go, the aluminum rims are a fat-specific (90 mm ride) 24 inch disc rim with 32h lacing and Specialized Ground Control 24×4.0 tires. Hub spacing is 170mm in the rear. Stopping power comes by way of a Tektro Aries mechanical disc brake.
2015 Specialized Fatboy 20
The only thing the 2015 Specialized Fatboy 20 skimps on is size. Built on a fully-butted A1 Premium Aluminum frame and featuring the same 170mm rear hub spacing and the same SRAM X4 1×9 drivetrain. Featuring 20×4.0 Ground Control tires, young riders should have no problem going where mom and dad go on their full sized fatties. See the colors below – these are preliminary colors and could change slightly depending on availability. Like the 24 inch model, the Fatboy 20 is equipped with Tektro Aries mechanical disc brakes. Geometry for both bikes is available at the end of the post.
2015 Specialized Fatboy 20/24 Geometry
Specs on these models should not be considered final, but geometry numbers are reliable if you're looking to figure out which one is a better fit for your little fat-biker. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask one of Erik's experts at one of our Minnesota or Wisconsin locations.
What is a Direct-Drive Trainer and why is it good for cycling?
As cyclists, we like the idea of actually riding all year long, and the rise in fat bikes is great for that, but sometimes your schedule doesn't allow to get outside and the short winter days can be a challenge for cyclists. For this reason, trainers, rollers and indoor cycles are often a must for riders in the Upper Midwest.
What's your goal?
We often talk about what your goal is with a trainer – whether you just want to log some virtual miles, stay loose and active, or work on a specific skill such as strength or power in cycling. All of the available options Erik's carries can meet these needs, and in unique ways. There's a newer technology, however, that you may not be aware of: direct drive trainers. In an effort to squeeze every bit of performance out of a trainer and make it incredibly easy to use, this is the result.
The Basics
At the heart of any direct drive trainer is the frame and resistance unit, but how it connects to your bike is the first thing you will likely notice. Direct Drive Trainers effectively replace your rear wheel. By removing the stock wheel on your bike, and placing your bike on the unit, all that's needed is to make sure the chain is in place on the gears and tighten the quick release skewer. There is no rubber tire and as a result, switching back and forth between training and riding outdoors is easier than with any other option. This makes direct drive trainers a great way for mountain bikers to utilize a trainer without investing in a trainer tire or second wheel.
What Makes Them Unique?
Aside from the attachment method, what makes a direct drive trainer unique will depend a lot on the model, but we've found in general that the FEEL is unlike anything else we have ridden. When pedaling, especially at start-up, the feeling in the legs is almost indistinguishable from riding on real pavement. The units Erik's stocks start with a similar frame and a heavy fly wheel inside of a housing – this is where much of the realism comes from, but each unit takes a different approach to resistance units. All of these units are fairly heavy, making them super stable, especially under hard efforts. If you are a rider who like to go to the point of blackout on your intervals, then there really is no better option than direct drive.
Direct Drive vs. Indoor Cycles
Indoor cycles such as the Pro Form and models from CycleOps have traditionally been the most feature rich options for riding indoors, but some people don't have the space to dedicate to them, making it an impractical option. With heavy flywheels and a ton of adjustment options, they do provide great flexibility for multiple riders and a great workout. With all of the options including power measurement, the ability to virtually ride courses and vary intensity is great for your workout, but they come at a cost. Direct Drive trainers offer a lot of options and realism over standard rear wheel trainers, but at a fraction of the cost of an Indoor Cycle. The most full featured option of direct drive trainers (Wahoo Kickr) costs half of what a similarly featured indoor cycle does.
The Models
The Silencer from CycleOps features a magnetic resistance unit starts at $659 and is built with the same rugged reliability and life time warranty that CycleOps products are known for.
Resistance is adjustable with an included remote and offers 5 different resistance levels in addition to the normal gear shifting on your bike.
Compatibility is limited to SRAM and Shimano drive-trains and will accept 9/10/11 speed cassettes. The $729 version includes a 10-speed Shimano cassette.
Weight of the Silencer is 39 lbs, and is optimized for 700c wheels without the need to add a riser block. Mountain bikers will want to add one to level the bike.
The Turbo Muin by Elite has a fluid resistance unit, and is a great option for riders who like to get the absolute most from their trainer workouts. It's max wattage is the highest of these three at a leg-crushing 2500 watts at 90 RPM, making it ideal for strong riders looking for high-intensity workouts.
Resistance on a fluid unit such as the Turbo Muin is what we refer to as progressive, meaning it gradually increases with speed. The result is that by working through your gears and increasing wheel speed, the resistance gets harder. This resistance curve is designed to copy the feel of riding on the road.
Compatibility like the CycleOps comes out of the box as SRAM/Shimano 9/10/11-speed but an option is available for Campagnolo freehub bodies as an aftermarket piece.
Weight is similar to the Silencer at 39 lbs as well, though one thing that differentiates the Turbo Muin is the ability to fold the frame for storage.
Wahoo Kickr lists for $1098.99, making it the most expensive option Erik's offers in this category, but with good reason. The Kickr measures power and can be connected with a Bluetooth 4.0 or ANT+ connection meaning you can control the unit with an iPad, iPhone or other device as well as track power data with compatible computers like the Garmin Edge line.
Resistance is variable through the app, Bluetooth compatible computers or even a connected PC computer by using an ANT+ dongle. It is also compatible with a whole host of third party options such as Strava, Trainer Road and more, as well as Wahoo's own app.
Compatibility like the previous models is optimized for Shimano and SRAM 9-11 speed cassetes and comes with a 10 speed cassette. Like the Turbo Muin, it can be adapted to fit Campagnolo 11 speed. Like all direct drive trainers, it does well with mountain or road bikes in a variety of wheel sizes.
The weight is an impressive 45 lbs for the Kickr, but since the legs also fold away and it includes a carrying handle, moving it is not difficult.
One of these three options are a great way to up your trainer game this winter and be ready to ride outside at a moment's notice. The major benefits aside from realism are ease in setting up the trainer and the ability to easily keep your bike ready to ride outdoors, making it not only a good option for the off-season, but also great for conditions early and late in the year that making getting out on the road or trail tough.
Best bag for Traveling with Snowboards
Got travel plans this winter? If you're headed out west or just trying to maximize space for a trip that includes skiing or snowboarding, we always recommend a snowboard bag for its cavernous space. Burton's Wheelie Gig Bag this year fits the bill perfectly and comes in a color that's hard to miss as it spins around the baggage claim carousel.
The Burton Wheelie Gig Bag is 166 cm in length and we're stocking it in the Fish Blanket pattern for your next adventure. The Gig bag is padded to protect your board and can fit multiple boards (with bindings off) as well as a great deal of your gear. If you pack right, you can keep it down to one bag and save money on baggage fees.
Check out our video below on how to best pack for your big skiing or snowboarding trip and see just how much you can fit this winter.
Indoor Cycling – Are rollers or trainers better?
It happens every fall in the Upper Midwest. Days grow shorter, the weather turns cold, and then we go switch the clocks back forcing everyone who loves to ride a bike to adapt. You could get a fat bike and fight off the winter blues, but let's face it, you might not be ready for that yet (When you are, we're more than ready to help). Whether or not you've trained inside in the winter, you might not be aware of the options of HOW to ride – the most common of these are a stationary trainer or rollers.
Which is better?
Most people starting out often go for the trainer – it's a small piece of equipment that folds up and stores under a bed or behind a couch pretty easy, and it's easy to turn an existing bike into a very good workout. Rollers are a bit bigger, but still compact and stowable – they feel a lot more like RIDING a bike, but they do require skill to learn at first (this skill does make a more capable rider out of roller users though). At Erik's we can recommend one for you based on your unique needs and goals, but there's a place for both of these in your home to get the most out of your workouts and to keep indoor cycling and training as fun as possible.
Trainers work by holding the bike stationary in an upright position. There's no need to balance with wide and stable legs. This set up, along with built-in resistance units makes this an excellent choice for developing strength as a rider.
- High Stability allows riders just to focus on moving their legs and not on balance.
- Good for loosening up or short workouts.
- Great tool for riders doing high-intensity workouts like intervals or other anaerobic work.
- Ideal for anyone doing rehab after surgery or strengthening after an injury.
- Great for one-legged drills used in addressing imbalances or leg weakness.
- Does not address handling or balance issues.
- Fixed position can be uncomfortable for endurance work.
- Extra pressure on the tire requires the use of a trainer tire for best performance and protection of your regular tires.
- Lacks the most realistic road feel.
Rollers are a long frame with a single drum up front and two drums in the back to support the bike. With 16″ of width under your bike, you've got some room to move, but not near as much as riding down the road. Rollers are often considered the ideal method for becoming a more complete cyclist. They force attention much like riding outdoors would. For riders new to rollers or those looking to ad versatility, it is possible to add a resistance unit and a fork stand and make it behave more like a trainer.
- Promote even, rhythmic cadence from the rider.
- Great for developing tracking skills and maintaining control of the bike.
- Good tool for developing balance.
- More stimulating to ride and less chance of boredom.
- Quieter than the quietest fluid trainers.
- No need to change out tires from your regular riding tires.
- Not ideal for high-intensity interval training unless you are a very skilled rider.
- Requires some skill to learn to use (learning curve).
- Does not allow rider to "zone-out" in the same way as a trainer.
The Bottom Line
So which is best? Depending on where your desires match with the above pros and cons of each, there's one that will fit your unique needs best and give you something to do this winter, but if you're not the only rider in your household or you want your next season of riding to be the best ever, we feel there's a place for both in your house. We even mentioned in a previous post about keeping trainer time entertaining by making it a group ride.
If you're prone to getting lost in a workout or training at high levels of exertion, a trainer is an ideal option. Doctors and physical therapists often recommend cycling as a low impact activity following an injury or surgery related to hip replacement, ACL repair and other knee or leg surgeries. Trainers allow you to easily isolate a leg and work on strength building specific sides of the body.
Rollers obviously require some time to adapt as you are balancing the bike on a smaller space than you may be used to, but many riders report less boredom and actually look forward to riding the rollers. They can be a great way to work on your pedal stroke (aka souplesse) and since your upper body is far more active, they can help develop core strength related to cycling and improve your ability to maintain a line.
Whatever you choose, know that you are setting yourself up for better fitness and a more enjoyable cycling season whether or not you agree with the idea of an "off-season."
Ride Report – Hunting by Fat Bikes
Interest in fat bikes has grown incredibly in the past few years, and often people seeing one for the first time wonder "What do you use THAT for?" The past couple winters in Minnesota and Wisconsin have answered those questions pretty well, and more riders every year are making them their number one bike. As a tool, though, they sometimes get overlooked, and we think incorporating bikes into other parts of your life is a great thing, whether it's commuting to work, running errands or taking a trip. Erik's employee, Dave, and myself (Lainger) both are avid hunters when it's not prime biking season, but that's not to say we wouldn't jump at the chance to ride more. This past weekend we had the opportunity to take out a couple CB4 fat bikes from Cogburn Outdoors (a hunting and fishing specific bike from the Quality Bike Products family).
For a brief overnight, we brought along the CB4s with slightly different set ups and loaded them on the rack. We headed to Northern Minnesota in search of the elusive Ruffed Grouse and the bikes soon proved their worth.We settled on a spot a few miles down the road from where we were staying – Using paper "PRIM" maps and online resources and thought it looked like a good start. It was 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon when we pulled into a small parking space next to an ATV trail. Dave's bike was outfitted with a rack and the Cogburn Gear Carrier; mine was not. The gear carrier is a well thought out piece of metal that straps to the rear rack or cargo carrier of the bike, and you can then attach fishing rods, archery equipment, shotgun or rifle to easily, and it does a plenty good job of keeping it out of the way but easily accessible. By comparison, I had to case and strap my shotgun to my back. While this was a stable mount that worked well for our purpose, it poses a problem when the trail gets tight, and it could certainly be more comfortable. To allow for hunting boots, we both opted for a flat pedal rather than clipping in as we normally would. We dressed to be moving, but were comfortable in tin chaps and jeans with breathable layers up top and a hunting vest.
Setting out felt like the beginning of a great adventure – starting so late in the day, we wouldn't usually be able to cover a lot of ground before dark, but on bike we were able to cover 3 miles pretty quick and access some land that was new to us easily. The added benefit was that the bikes were a blast to ride, and while a walking hunter can move at 2.5 to three miles an hour, this eats up time to get some place. By taking fat bikes, we got to where we wanted to go and were able to stow the bikes so we could walk the most promising parcels of land.
On the way out, we rode past a promising spot but opted to keep going. It could have been because the riding was so much fun, or it could have been the excitement of the adventure and the ability to keep pushing further, but we passed it up. After riding to the end of the trail though, we had the opportunity to come back at it. We parked the bikes well off the ATV trail in a depression and good cover. As a precaution, we locked the bikes together and set about to work the brush. For its size and convenience, I like the Abus Catena to lock up the bikes – it's a fairly sturdy chain, but it is lightweight and packs down to the size of a softball roughly. After heading a mile out, and not seeing any birds, we turned around and worked back to the bikes. We would have loved to get a couple birds for dinner, but knowing this doesn't always happen we were glad we planned ahead and brought dinner. Normally I would recommend setting a waypoint using a GPS when you stow something in the woods, but we had some good landmarks that would ensure we would find the bikes again. Though I will freely admit to walking about 20 feet past the bikes and not noticing them with the Realtree camouflage and mottled vegetation surrounding them. It was approaching 5 PM when we arrived back at the bikes, and we knew with sunset at around 6, we should be making a move out of the woods. We unloaded and stowed the guns for the ride back and unlocked the bikes. We were surprised to find we covered the 2 miles back to the truck in just around 15 minutes! Back in the lot, we wiped the extra dirt and mud from the bikes but the smiles on our faces weren't as easily removed.
Driving back to our place for the night, we talked about the possibilities these bikes opened up for us. It's easy to think how with the addition of a trailer it could be a great rig for deer instead of an ATV, and we discussed the merits of the gear carrier (Dave pretty much won this one as he never tagged a tree branch with one end of the gun or another) – with a canoe or kayak rig towed behind it could be a great setup for waterfowl hunting too. I liked the internal frame bags you can see in the picture above as a place to stow the lock and camera while riding, and they would come in equally handy for extra gear on wet or cold days as well as first aid kits or items that require ready access.
The following morning we explored a Wildlife Management Area about a half hour away. We always like to scout for new hunting spots and this one showed some promise. We parked the truck again and hopped on the bikes to follow an old railroad grade 1.2 miles to its end – this time the path was closed to motorized vehicles making the Cogburns a perfect fit. The spot should be a great place for ducks when the migrators start coming down, but we still wanted to explore it a bit more since we had some left over time before we had to head home. We threaded the wide bars through a stand of thick popple to an island of oak trees about 4 acres in size. The outer edge of this "island" was bound by a mass of young trees so thick it was like walking through a maze. A great spot for grouse in some cases. We again locked the bikes to each other and thought about leaving the dog to watch over the bikes but thought she would have more fun in the thick stuff, so we trusted the lock (we probably didn't need to rely on the lock, but when your only way out is on your own, you make sure to plan accordingly). In some of thickest cover around, we jumped one grouse, but given the lay of the land, it escaped pretty quickly as we played twister in the thick brush.
We rode back with empty game bags, but the trip was anything from a loss. Fat bikes like the Cogburn are a great way to get out in the woods and do something different from the normal routine. A bike is a tool when properly used that can carry you and your gear to places where the only limitation is your ability to think of all the possibilities. I know I'll be using a fat bike again this year for more than just getting on and riding. What's the most amazing thing you've done with a fat bike, or what's on your fat bike bucket list if you haven't done anything out of the ordinary yet? Let us know in the comments.

Do you know if the SELLER had "First Hand Knowledge" of the oil tank leak?
two pretty important questions.
Good luck and may God bless
Didn't you do environmentals? If you didn't you deserve what you got.
How would the seller know the underground oil tank leaked without having it checked out?

Best places to buy vegetable plants locally in North Dallas area
Keona SolorzanoJanuary 2, 2009
Does anyone have any recommendations as to where to buy vegetable plants locally? I am planning my spring garden and really would like to do almost all transplants this year - it's so small there is really not much cost savings from using seed. I am looking for onion sets, sugar snap peas, and broccoli for February. Also, I am in the Frisco/McKinney/Plano area if that helps. Thanks!

Try contacting Shsdes of Green Nursery, www.shadesofgreeninc.com, or Cottonwood Creek Nursery, both in Frisco. They would either have what you need, or be able to steer you in the right direction.

Wanagapeth ("Sweet Breeze"), (?)-1808 was the eldest daughter of Chief Michikinikwa, known as Little Turtle. She married Apekonit, or Capt. William Wells.[1]
William Wells was captured and adopted into the Miami tribe. He had a wife and child who were captured in 1791 and presumed dead. William took Wanagapeth as his second wife, forging a strong family bond between Wells and Turtle that would last until their deaths.
Wanagapeth and Wells had three daughters and one son. Their son, William Wayne Wells, or Wapemongah, graduated fourth in his class at West Point in 1821 and rose to the rank of 1st Lieutenant. He died in 1832 and had no children.[2] One daughter, Ann, married but also had no children. Daughters Rebecca and Mary both have descendants living today.[3]
Little Turtle biographer Harvey Lewis Carter estimates that Sweet Breeze died during the Winter of 1805-1806, because after that year her children moved to Kentucky to live with their uncle, Samuel Wells.[4]

Making Wreaths
Does anyone know how to achieve the look of a very full wreath? Is there a trick or a website with instructions?
I've seen many on Ebay but here's some examples. I'm not interested in copying their designs just knowing how to get the look.
They always look so full and professional.
Here's another:
The 1st one is lots of bows, flags and that wired stuff with stars of silver,red & blue on it, very little in way of flowers! Almost can't see the center! Think it could be just as nice with little less!(Gets expensive too!) 2nd 1 look closely & you will see the filler used is in many flat sprays used at weddings & things. Fern- like leaves(leather fern) it widens the wreath & so makes it look more expensive(I don't think this 1 has leather fern but there are several natural shrubs that have fairly flat look so they work well in "expanding" the wreath & then as Kathi said you have a lot of fillers,green lilies & other stuff in shades of green that give the wreath depth & you add a full bow to the side or top (if you are short on materials or just like the look,) and your choice flowers where they will be seen. Notice the yellowish fruit around edges pick up the yellow in the ribbon & the reddish blush on them looks beautiful with the reddish flowers. A lovely job!!! They used lot of materials! But you will find that you sometimes didn't buy enough materials to do what you want & by putting a bow on the side & making it very full or adding a couple of extra streamers or putting it at the top & curling streamers down you fill in to make up for lack of materials. Wreaths can get very expensive. If you are going to make them to sell look for dried pods, seeds, pine cones in your area & lay them out on cookie sheet & heat oven to 200 degrees for 20 minutes, leftover nuts in shell from Christmas look lovely if you do this & spray with Krylon & glue on wreath. You make your wreath bug free & save nuts you would normally throw out. Cattails are lovely in arrangements if you live near place that has them, swamps or standing water!! Don't use feathers you find as may be illegal. Probably have to check with fish & game to see if anything like that could be used. I hot glue mine if silk flowers, but if it's for wedding in the sun at noon I think I might use WeldBond or something else. Don't want them falling apart. Base can be grapevine circle, foam ring, straw,wire,chickenwire, etc, So some are all wired together with no glue used such as fresh flowers. Hope this helps. Have fun!
Thank you both!
Sunny - Your observation that they used flat pieces to widen was great.
I realize, also, by studying the photos - the second one particularly, that they use longer pieces and then fill in to give width. I've made many wreaths but mine are have always been much flatter. I haven't used the longer pieces and I guess I have to use lots and lots of materials.
Thank you for the pointers.
I'm not planning on selling - I just like to do them for myself and gifts.
I do planters in front of our church,by the pulpit. They are hard to do as really should look like flowers are "growing" in them but church was build in 1940's so work with what is there. I have bought several flowers I thought would be perfect & they don't even show up, dark blues, purples & reds disappear from a distance (even with a light that shines on them) I have better luck with bright light pinks, whites, lavender, yellows into orange(they show up best,besides white). If you are thinking about flowers to buy somewhere even Dollar store put them on high shelf where you can walk a long ways away & see how they stand out or if they seem to disappear, less mistakes that way. That's how I pick them out now!! If you want a green xmas wreath on outside door have a lot of white on it or gold ribbon or gold colored toys or fruit so it stand out(gold like gold & silver type gold) silver would work too! I had a green wreath with red flowers couple of yrs ago & didn't show up as anything but glob of green! Lovely standing in front of it but no curb appeal as they say! Jan
Ok, so I went to Michael's yesterday to pick up some flowers for the wreath. They were having a sale so I spent about $25 including the ribbon and I have flowers left over to make a smaller verson for my MIL for Mom's Day. I already had the 24" wreath and the sunflowers from an arrangement in which the vase got broken. They were the inspiration for wanting to make a wreath.
Thanks for all you help. I can really see how many flowers it took to do the wreath I posted above. While I did not make mine as full, I now understand how it can be done.
Thought you'd ike to see. I am going to be on the lookout for some different ribbon. Michaels did not have a great selection of the wider ribbon.

QoTD 10/16/11 - Blogs?
I haven't paid much attention to blogs until the recent Moda Country Fair thing last month. Their marketing plan worked because I visited several fabric designers on their list. Although I'm not selling anything and don't have any intention of doing daily or even frequent posts, I've started working on a blog just as a way to document my quilts and share them with friends. I know some of you already have really nice blogs set up.
So the theme of the questions today is blogs.
Do you have a blog?
Do you use it as 'show and tell' or as part of a quilting business?
Do you enjoy keeping it up and how often do you add posts?
Will you post a link so we can see what you've done?
If you aren't blogging yourself, are there some you visit regularly? (Feel free to share sites you like by posting the link!)
Kate, I don't have a blog and don't care to have one. I spend too much time on the computer as it is. I look at Lindaoh's when she posts something but other than that, I try to keep up with Wilma's World. She has a long list of other bloggers at her site that I can pick and choose from. I haven't been through all of them, but it's interesting and another way to pass the time of day if a person can't get to the machine. @:)
Here is a link that might be useful: Wilma's World
Well, not much response here. I think people must be enjoying outdoors. Not much posted on the garden section of GardenWeb either this weekend.
I have multiple blogs and really enjoy blogging. I try to just read a few each week because I sure spend too much time on the computer! LOL
Mine is mostly person although I do have a related business. I try to post at least once a week.
If you want to visit mine, just send me an e-mail message and I will send you the site or sites. I have two blogs relating to Quilting, one related to Greek Cooking/Healthy Eating, and one related to Travel and Trying to Teach Myself Polish. Quite a collection!
I'll be interested to see if anyone else blogs.
This forum is as much sharing as I'm comfortable with. I write fairly well, but like toolgranny, there is very little I want to share with the world at large. I have one quilt blog bookmarked, but I haven't looked at it in months. I have enough ideas in my own head.
If I did blog about anything, it would be about misplaced and misused apostrophes and the non-word "alot", LOL.
Jayne, check out blogger.com or wordpress.com. Both free and both offer instructions. I used blogger. There are dozens of templates so can get started in just minutes, but you can also customise it so as you get more experienced you discover more options.
I had a blog once but I lost interest and just didn't want to take the time to keep it up....so, I lost my domain. I have to much to do to "play" on the computer much. I do this much early early am while having coffee then pretty much do not log back on until the next day.
Those with good blogs can make money at it as well as keep everyone informed about what is going on in their lives. One very successful blog I can think of is "pioneer woman". Hers has really taken off, I noticed the other day that she now has a show on Food Network TV. Good for her!
I enjoy reading blogs and do have one - it is about our travels. We are planning a 3+ month trip to Mexico in our motorhome and started it this summer as a way to keep family/friends informed about our travels. I ususally try to post every couple weeks, but will do more as we travel through Mexico. I still need to get something up about the Camp Cheerio retreat!
I use blogger.com and Windows Live Writer. It is really easy. If anyone would like a link to my blog, send me an email. Haven't figured out how to make any money at it - will leave that up to DH.
Mary - I love your comment about misplaced and misused appostrophes - alot! :) hehe
Hahaha Sue!
I like this Alot.
I'm buying this Alot on a T-shirt for my son. It will be a nice stocking stuffer at Christmas.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hyperbole and a Half
I do read blogs. I am very inconsistent ~ no real favorites, I jump from one to another. I read one and think I am going to follow this person....but I don't. I really don't want too much personal stuff - just give me the sewing-quilting stuff!
I think keeping up a blog is very much like a full time job~I've got one of those :)
I do not blog, but I do enjoy a number of quilt related blogs, and in fact, I read them alot [sic]. The ones that I tend to like the best have lots of pictures of quilts and tutorials.
Some of the blogs that I read often include Crazy Mom Quilts, Glorious Applique, and Sew Katie Did.
Here is a link that might be useful: Crazy Mom Quilts blog
I liked 'Hyperbole and a Half' ALOT! (Ha!) Thanks for sharing that one and the others that were posted too. Like I said at the beginning, I'm just now getting into this and am enjoying the variety and scope.
I only have a couple entries in mine but I'm going to post the link here anyway. After talking about the thing, it only seemed right to show you I was really doing it! The plan is to get pictures of all my quilts posted, gathering the photos from two old computers, my phone, a couple digital cameras and photobucket. See why I need to do this? I've never really organized my quilt pictures; maybe the blog will inspire me to get it done.
Here is a link that might be useful: K8Quilts - my new blog!

A University of Michigan engineering professor said ice in the Great Lakes will likely increase construction costs for wind turbines being built in the area but will not be a deal-breaker for projects. Speaking at the Grand Valley State University Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center in Muskegon, Mich., yesterday, marine engineer Dale Karr said his research had not found ice to be a "showstopper" that would derail construction plans, although he said more study was needed to be sure.
Great Lakes ice won't derail wind turbines — researcher
Iowa scientists: Spring floods, summer droughts more likely with global climate change
Gene Takle, director of Iowa State University's climate science program, said too many Americans believe there is serious dispute among scientists about whether climate change is real and whether it is caused by people. "In the scientific community, we have debates on the details," he said. "But there are very, very few scientists who are active in studying climate science who deny the existence of the role of heat-trapping gases in raising our global average temperatures, and the fact that these heat-trapping gases are produced by humans."
Koch Brother Wages 12-Year Fight Over Wind Farm
If the vast wind farm proposed for Nantucket Sound is ever built, William I. Koch will have a spectacular view of it. Of course, that is the last thing he wants. Mr. Koch, a billionaire industrialist who made his fortune in fossil fuels and whose better-known brothers underwrite conservative political causes, has been fighting the wind farm, called Cape Wind, for more than a decade, donating about $5 million and leading an adversarial group against it. He believes that Cape Wind's 130 industrial turbines would not only create what he calls "visual pollution" but also increase the cost of electricity for everyone.
Pa. could cut emissions 21% with existing policies — report
By harnessing existing policies and infrastructure, Pennsylvania could cut its power sector emissions 21 percent by 2020, according to a new analysis by the World Resources Institute (WRI). Those reductions would put the Keystone State well on its way to meeting new carbon pollution rules proposed by U.S. EPA, the report notes. Rules covering carbon emissions from future power plants were announced last month, while standards for existing plants are expected to be proposed in 2014.
Outgoing chairman to join law firm
Outgoing Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Jon Wellinghoff announced today that he will join Portland, Ore.-based law firm Stoel Rives LLP after he wraps up nearly seven years at the agency. Wellinghoff, a driving force behind the Obama administration's efforts to green the electric grid, will work out of the firm's offices in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., upon completing his work at the commission.
Utility regulators fret over grid reliability as EPA preps emission rules
State utility regulators at the forefront of implementing upcoming federal rules to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants in the United States are concerned that a fast-tracked schedule could trigger reliability issues. Philip Jones, president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), said the most important question is how much time industry will have to carry out the new rules. "Even if you know [that] the end goal is clean energy sources, more demand response, more energy efficiency, more gas, how much time do you have to comply?" he asked.
Energy storage for wind, solar to top $10B in a decade — report
The expected increased use of wind and solar on the electric grid will create a more than $10 billion global market for energy storage systems in 10 years, according to a new report from market analyst Navigant Research.
Operators spar over transmission line use before U.S. appeals court
An Arkansas-based grid operator argued in federal court today that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission failed to adequately review all evidence before allowing a competitor to use its transmission lines.Southwest Power Pool told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that FERC simply disregarded the case it presented before siding […]
G.E. Beats Expectations With Help of Industrial Units
G.E.'s aviation, oil and gas, transportation and home and business solutions divisions all had profit of more than 10 percent. The company's power and water division, which had been hurt earlier in the year by lower sales of wind turbines, posted a 9 percent rise in profit. Health care grew 7 percent, but profit at the company's energy management division declined by 57 percent.
Xcel wins OK to build 4 new wind farms
Xcel Energy is poised to move forward with plans to build four Upper Midwest wind farms, which would increase the company's wind power capacity in the region by 42 percent.

Breakthrough lithium battery charges to 90% in just 5 minutes
By Loz Blain
December 13, 2007
December 13, 2007 Toshiba have stunned the world with their announcement of what's pretty much the holy grail in Lithium battery technology – the Super Charge ion Battery, which recharges up to 90% of its energy in just five minutes, and has a lifespan of over 10 years. Slow charging has been the key hurdle to public acceptance of battery-electric vehicles as viable distance travelers, so this breakthrough has all sorts of implications for the automotive industry as well as being a very welcome upgrade to a whole host of other portable devices.
The first of Toshiba's groundbreaking SCiB packs will ship in March 2008 to an industrial systems market that Toshiba forecasts being worth 100 billion Yen by 2015. There's no mention of when the technology is likely to hit the consumer market, but with such rapid charging ability, ultra-long life and high resistance to rupture and combustion, the SCiB looks like the first of a new generation of battery cells that will allow electric vehicle drivers to top up their cells in nearly the same amount of time a petrol vehicle takes to fill.
To this end, Toshiba is working on a high-performance version of the SCiB targeted at the automotive industry.
The development of high-powered, long-lasting, rapid-charge battery cells offers the automotive industry a simple and extremely efficient alternative to Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, whose competitive advantage thus far lies in their ability to refuel in a similar manner to petrol-powered cars. Batteries, it can be argued, are much more energy-efficient, delivering as much as three times more power from the electricity grid to the wheels as fuel cell vehicles are able to.Share

Blessing of Marine Science and Storage Facility
Feb. 21, 2012
1 of 7
This is an artist rendering of the new Marine Science and Storage Facility. The facility is the second phase of NOAA's Pacific Regional Center. It includes a 1,500 deep salt-water well for cooling needs and support of 15 marine tanks. Six tanks are for turtles, two for corals, three for fish and four for monk seals. The facility will enable NOAA and scientific partners to conduct critical marine research and provide a site to rehabilitate endangered Hawaiian monk seals and various green sea turtles.

Daisy BhagowaliaProgram Manager.gov Domain Registration ProgramFederal Acquisition ServiceGeneral Services Administration
Talk about doing more with less. Daisy Bhagowalia developed and implemented a program that is essential to the government's online operations but costs it precisely zero.
The previously fee-based program that handles the top-level .gov domains lost money for GSA. Then Bhagowalia developed a new business model that allows an outside contractor to keep the domain registration fees for services rendered.
The program has been secured and encrypted and has had no data loss, security breach or outage since she's managed it, with a staff of just six. That reliability was the primary reason the federal, state, local and tribal government community committed to the Web as its main means of communication and outreach.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Saul Phillips ran over to the fans in green and yellow, threw his arms in the air and screamed at the top of his lungs.
No one could hear the excitable North Dakota State coach. There was too much noise from the Bison celebrating the biggest win in school history.
Lawrence Alexander hit a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left to force overtime and freshman Carlin Dupree scored four points in the final 75 seconds as No. 12 seed North Dakota State knocked off Oklahoma 80-75 Thursday night.
The Bison (26-6) picked up their first NCAA tournament win by rallying in the final minute and then outlasting the No. 5 seed Sooners in overtime. Alexander finished with a career-high 28 points, but it'll be his falling-down, fist-pumping celebration after the tying 3-pointer that will be replayed in Fargo for years.
Dupree came on in the closing seconds of overtime after Taylor Braun fouled out. He hit two free throws and scored on a difficult baseline leaner with 41 seconds left.
Cameron Clark led Oklahoma (23-10) with 25 points.
Wisconsin 75, American 35
MILWAUKEE — A sea of fans wearing Wisconsin red roared after every stop and every score, growing more exuberant as the Badgers' NCAA opener became a historic rout.
Playing the first two tournament games close to home was a goal all year, and Wisconsin players fed off the energy to extinguish any upset hopes of 15th-seeded American.
Ben Brust scored 17 points and the No. 2 seed devastated the Eagles with a 22-5 run to close the first half in Thursday's victory in Milwaukee, barely 90 minutes from their campus in Madison. The Badgers will play Oregon in the third round of the West Regional on Saturday.
Wisconsin (27-7) recovered from a brief first-half rut as the Eagles (20-13), champions of the Patriot League, built a seven-point lead with their Princeton-style offense.
"It was good to get the building loud," Brust said. "I said, 'Hey, they're up. We better wake up.'"
Trailing 17-10 about midway through the first half, the Badgers took away the backdoor cuts, forced turnovers and otherwise flustered American into 4-of-26 shooting over the final 29 minutes. One field-goal drought lasted nearly 14 minutes.
"That's pretty crazy," guard Josh Gasser said. "That must mean you did something well."
The Eagles don't encounter the type of execution and athleticism displayed by Wisconsin in the Patriot League.
"They're a No. 2 seed for a reason," coach Mike Brennan said.
Oregon 87, BYU 68
This was one sweet homecoming for Elgin Cook. The rest of the Oregon Ducks made themselves at home, too.
Backed by a vocal group of family and friends, Cook scored a career-high 23 points to power the seventh-seeded Ducks to victory over No. 10 seed BYU.
"Elgin Cook had a great game," Oregon coach Dana Altman said. "He finished everything down low."
Joseph Young had 19 points for the Ducks (24-9), who had to stage a big comeback to beat the Cougars 100-96 in overtime in December. There was no comeback needed this time, with Oregon turning away every BYU charge in the second half.
Led by Cook, a Milwaukee native who starred at nearby Hamilton High School, the Ducks advanced to a third-round game against No. 2 seed Wisconsin on Saturday. The Badgers, playing just 80 miles from their Madison campus, beat American 75-35 in the day's first game at the Bradley Center.
"It's definitely special to me confidence-wise, but overall it means nothing," Cook said. "We're not satisfied, we haven't won anything yet."
Tyler Haws scored 19 points for BYU (23-12), which returned to the NCAA tournament after a one-year absence. Matt Carlino and Eric Mika had 15 points apiece.

As we are moving forward with changes to the concession stand and giving parents the option to buy out their shift, we have made a few changes to the policies. This season we are allowing parents a buyout of $40 per shift. In order to buy out the shift you must let the Concession Manager know two weeks prior to your shift. Your $40 buyout must also be paid in advance so that these fees can be used to pay a person who is willing to cover your shift.
Failure to notify the Concession Manager or failure to show up will result in an $80 fine. This fine must be paid prior to registering for the next season, including All-Stars.
If you are running late or will not be at the concession stand at the start of your shift, you must notify the Concession Manger as soon as possible.
In the event that you are not able to work your assigned shift you may contact the Concession Manager and we will work on getting you moved to another shift.
If you and/or someone you know, 15 years and older, are interested in working in the concession stand for the buyout shifts, please let me know. We have a Code of Conduct that needs to be read and signed. Shifts will be assigned as needed.
Lastly, please know absolutely no one under 15 years old is allowed in the concession stand. There are no exceptions to this. Also, please do not come in to the concession stand unless you are working that shift. Coaches, if you are responsible for picking up the score board controllers please come to the pick-up window and someone will give it to you. There are a lot of moving parts in the concession stand and the less traffic we have, the better.
Thank you to everyone for helping making this organization successful for our children!!!
