It has become no secret that I fell in bike love with the Ibis Mojo this past season and for good reason. No other bike in recent years has made me want to get out and ride more than that shiny carbon two wheeler that I spent the better portion of my season on. When we find bikes like this we try not to get too caught up in them as we know that we'll have to move on to new pastures sooner or later - that's what we do as testers, writers and lovers of this sport. Once it was my turn to move on, I found out about the Mojo HD - since that time I've been looking forward to riding one and seeing if it would live up to my Mojo experience.

Inside we're gonna tell you a lot more about all the bikes that Ibis offers the mountain bike crowd,

Loeka Tech Jacket & Pants Review

As a female rider it is tough to find gear for all applications of riding and I am constantly on the look out for new riding specific pieces. Living in the North Eastern part of the US, I had only heard of Loeka Clothing through word of mouth, but never actually seen any pieces in person. Loeka is a ladies only clothing company that is producing technical clothing for us girls that
want our own gear that is made for us.

For the last couple of months I have had the pleasure of testing some fine women's mountain bike clothing made by Loeka. Owners Rory Harmse and Coreena Fletcher set me up with a pair of brown Tech Pants and a wicked-funky plaid Tech Jacket.

See how it all stood up inside,

I had a great 2009 race season and now that it's fall I’m relaxed and have time to look back on the summer. A big part of my season and the good times I had all year are due to my team, my sponsors and the great bunch of riders I see every weekend all summer long. Calgary Cycle has been awesome keeping my bike running smoothly and race ready. I’d like to thank all my sponsors, Calgary Cycle, Trek, MRP, Troy Lee Designs, Oakley, Dakine, Fernie Alpine Resort, RockShox Suspension, The Tower Group, Chromag, Industry Nine, and ODI. And a special thanks to the mechanics that helped me this season including Rabbit, David and Buckwheat.

Here’s a brief summary of my major races:

On Halloween weekend, Diablo Freeride Park hosted its annual take on everyone's favorite fall holiday, a not-to-be missed event called Diabloween. Each year, the festival features tons of outrageous and creative costumes, thousands of dollars worth of give-aways and as much fun on two wheels as anyone can handle. Despite the threat of inclement weather, nearly 700 people attended the final weekend of the 2009 season, making Diabloween one of the most popular bike events on the East Coast.
