March Review
by Grizzly Adam
A look at March 2011:
Race Report: ICUP #1 Redrock Rampage.
Wherein I choose the gym over skiing. A trend that continues.
My book is nearly finished. In fact, it is very close now. A little more proofreading and layout work is all that is left.
Daren and IÂ conquered the Crow’s Foot.
An Open Letter to Gro Promotions.
And some of my favorite posts from around the web:
Fatty’s Inferno . Read all 5 parts, the payoff is brilliant.
Jeff Higham’s True Grit 50 report.
Dave and Lynda bikepack the Black Canyon Trail.
29er vs. 26er. Still?

The 26er v. 29er article is spot-on in its analysis. The debate still rages for multiple reasons, which are well articulated in that article.
True. I think that the debate has (mostly) moved on from the early days of “kids bikes” vs. “grown up bikes”. I switched to a 26er FS bike last year, and really liked it. But I switched back to a 29er HT because it fit my needs better. Both were great bikes. FS and 29ers are still not a great combo, but neither are 26ers and HT’s.
