First bike: 1972 purple sears bannana-seat-bike (with stem on backwards), BMX phase 1976-1983, Roadie phase mercifully short (1982-1983), MTB from there. Other activities (rivers, surfing, climbing, music & creative stuff) go on too. Founded website/bloggish crap shoot focusing on Oregon MTB options called TheDirtMagnet: https://dirtmagnet.wordpress.com/about/about-about/ Whatever...I Love questionable trails, big descents, and the anticipation of a new route..and cheesecake...and poptarts...and of course Scooby Doo.
