Public Hearing about a bike path over the Hoan bridge

Monday, November 14, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the DOT downtown office building located at 1001 W. St. Paul Avenue in Milwaukee.  Chris Larson and other elected officials from MKE will be there.  Unfortunately I will be in class, but a show of support would be a good thing.  Attend if you can.

New to Mountain biking

I've become a pretty avid road biker the last few years and thought I would try mountain biking.  I realize it's late in the year, but, I will give it a go this weekend.

I dove in head first and bought a Trek 4300.  Hopefully it's good enough for a novice like myself.

 

Any pointers anyone would like to share??
