Now he also has started riding without training wheels and can get onto the trails with Dad!


I will know soon enough if I get my real Christmas gift... which is my wife's health. Soon to be announced!

Thanks, she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer Stage 3c last June. She just completed her last chemo treatment for this phase and her markers have been excellent with no signs of the cancer.

I have not been on the bike for the past year, she was the one who got me into mountain biking, her being well and here is all I'll ever want. She has already told me to get ready for Vision Quest 2009...

Nice bike! I'm off from 12/24 to 1/2 and will be looking for some rides!

Race Face Team Chainring Set
SRAM PG-970 cassette

It doesn't matter what I want. It only matters what Cowgril picks out for me when my wife goes shoping at Switchback.
I must say last year I did pretty good. Thanks again!!

I'm like Foo, I pretty much have what I need.

boboso, good to hear that things are going the right direction. That cancer is some scary stuff. Hang in there.

I'd like a helmet cam of some kind. I was thinking about the GoPro Camera.

A 29er frame would be nice too. My wife has been made aware of this by the way.

I can pretty much buy what I need, because I am old, I always ask for good health.

I would love to have 100% health and strength.
For X mass.


I had Hodgkin's lymphoma. I have made it this far. Mental strength helps a lot. Its easier said that done when you are dealing with something that is as scary as cancer.
My lings have been damaged by the radiation and that is why I am sometimes coughing my head off when exerted. I keep working on them and its getting better slowly. My immune system is weak also. No big deal I am alive
