Just a couple quick items of interest now that I’m back at the home base.

First off is a scary tale from the great north about a “24 hour race gone horribly wrong”:http://www.adn.com/front/story/450061.html. And you thought we had it bad with the cacti down here. . .

Next up, I’ll give a plug to the new BTI bike blog called “Gears N Beers”:http://gearsnbeers.blogspot.com/. Some cool stuff on there already, and they have several people posting on it, so it could be a fun ‘inside scoop’ blog.

Just one word of advice guys, you really gotta “spice up the look of that site a bit”:http://www.google.com/search?q=blogger+templates, default templates are so passe’.

Finally, I couldn’t resist this little tidbit from “the goat”:http://thegoat.backcountry.com/blog/2008/06/27/dznuts-high-viscosity-chamois-cream/ about a new product from everyone’s favorite “mustache-toting road biker”:http://www.davezabriskie.com/:
