Blowing Springs - Bentonville, AR
Blowing Springs is a nice diversion for those of you riding the Back 40 in Bentonville. Located just south of the Back 40, it is easy to get to and adds an additional set of miles. There is a concrete pump track also available just around the corner from the trailhead.

42T Conversion to 1x10
I have been running 1x10 for several years now with an 11-36T cassette and have argued that for most of the trails here in central Texas that 36T is enough. But as I have gotten older, I am beginning to think that there is a value in having a few more teeth in the back for steep climbs. My Shimano drivetrain tops out at 36T so to go beyond that limitation I needed to change some components and make some adjustments.

1Up Rack Lock
The 1Up racks are pretty much the best rack that I have ever hitched to the back of my car, I can't say enough good things about it. An option for the 1Up are the wheel locks that lock your wheels into the frame. While this will keep your bike protected, I always worried about someone coming along, undoing the skewers, and swiping the rest of the bike. Then I came up with a nice solution that is pretty straightforward.

New Trail Review - Dana Peak
We just made the trek up north to check out Dana Peak and it did not disappoint. There was plenty of trail to ride and we only hit a part of the mileage out there. It is worth the drive up there to check it out.
