The Saucony Pro Grid Triumph 5 running shoe is an incredible shoe.  Having gone through now 5 pairs of the Triumph 5, I am trully a beleiver in the Saucony shoe.
 The Triumph 5 is suprisingly light yet offers a longer life than other competitors.  I have logged a minimum of 1500 km’s on each pair […]

The New Balance 1110 Trail Shoes are a trail shoe in a class by itself.  Let’s start off with the Gore-Tex covering over the entire shoe to protect your feet from water and snow.  One would think that the summer heat would make the shoe hot but that is not the case at all.

 ” Do Not become Decoupled” is the words that rang in my ears on my first lap at the Oktober Fest Cross at Earl Bales. Coming from Ted the Legend Ingram master racer extraodinaire  it’s especially motivating when he’s waving a cold beer in your face.
  So it was on slightly overcast day that the annual running […]

In May got my hands on a 29er mountain bike. Which for me was a radical departure as in the last 23 years I have ridden bikes that where either 26inch wheeled or 700c. Obviously it was either a mountain or road bike. And for those who don’t know a 29er is a mountain bike […]

Last June got my hands on one of the new podium Bottles from Camelbak. Interesting bottle primarily because of the valve. The bite valve is made from medical grade silicone and is a one way valve. One feature is the valve can be locked so as it won’t leak say in your pack, though have […]
