Quotes of the Day:"One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say."– Bryant H. McGill"This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect."– Dwight D. Eisenhower"We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible."– George Santayana1.

This year I got to test Thule’s AllTrail 10L pack and found it to be a solid pack for hauling plenty of water and cargo.

CHILPANCINGO, Mexico—Six days after taking office, Mayor Alejandro Arcos loaded his pickup with bottles of water for hurricane victims, ditched his bodyguards and drove off alone into a gang-controlled area here in the capital of Guerrero state, a few hours south of Mexico City. Hours later, on Oct. 6, police found Arcos’s severed head displayed on the roof of his car, his eyes carefully closed and hair perfectly combed. His decapitated body was left on the front seat.

Patagonia Dirt Roamer Storm jacket, Dirt Craft pants, SF ridingWhen the weather gets nasty, you’ve got to cover up to stay dry and happy on the trails. I got the chance to test Patagonia’s Dirt Roamer Storm jacket and Dirt Craft pants, and I’m glad I got my hands on both. The jacket offers full protection from rain, and the pants are a versatile pair you could wear for any ride. I’ve been riding in the Dirt Roamer Storm jacket and Dirt Craft pants since spring.

Patagonia Dirt Craft jersey and shorts, SF, climbThis year I got my first chance to try out some riding gear from Patagonia, and came away pretty impressed with all the pieces I received. I had expectations knowing this is a well-regarded brand with lots of experience making outdoor gear, and I was not disappointed. I’ve been riding in the Dirt Craft jersey and Dirt Craft shorts since spring, and have worn these pieces countless times throughout the spring and summer.

Based in Squamish, B.C., the crew at 7mesh ride in all kinds of weather and temperatures, and their new WTV 200 garments provide lightweight, breathable options for cool days on the trails or roads. 7mesh’s new WTV 200 is a lower-loft version of their existing WTV fabric (which is used on the Chilco Anorak I reviewed last Spring).

Perhaps the most competitive segment of the MTB market is the ‘quiver killer’ trail bike. Trail bikes are today’s version of what the first-ever mountain bikes set out to be… bikes that can handle any kind of terrain. Since there will never be one perfect combination of travel, wheel size, and geometry for everyone, Devinci split their updated Troy trail bike into two models. I’ve been riding the 150mm/160mm Troy, which is more suitable for my local trails than the shorter travel Troy ST.
