The Urge Bike Products SupaCross Helmet.  

Air vents are perfectly spaced for later on attaching a helmet light.

The Urge Bike Products SupaCross helmet is very comfortable. The helmet comes with a two sets of sizing pads, besides the ones already installed in the helmet. The air flows through the helmet is very well.  I have worn the helmet on my training rides both on the road and trails. When it comes to mounting lights on the top, the air vents are positioned just right. Of course on my helmets I always use and recommend the use of Cat-Ears, adding extra safety precautions. These wind noise reduction devices are very easy to install and weigh nothing at all. 

Quick trip to Colorado

Earlier this month my family and I had a great visit and quick vacation to Colorado.  My kids were on their Spring Break and we all flew up to Colorado where we met up with my wife in Denver.  While there I got to visit the World Headquarters of the Cat-Ears facility and manufacturing plant. My wife, kids and I were treated to a tour by the owners Rick and Heidi. Here they manufacture the wind diffusing helmet strap devices I love, wear and use, as do the rest of my family. Not only do they construct the devices here, but also are involved in heavily researching how the sound of the wind can be reduced even more while wearing Cat-Ears.

Pictured my son was able to test out how the sound of the wind is reduced wearing a helmet with Cat-Ears with a simulated 25 MPH wind. 

On the trip I we stayed at my wife's friends house in Fort Collins. There I was able to borrow a mountain bike and test out the trails, at elevation. Very different then back down in the desert here in Arizona that's for sure. 

What an amazing trip we had and fun along the way. 

Hosting weekly group road rides

So last weekend was my second weekend ride as a ride leader / host.  The first week I was the only one out there. No big deal, I still got my miles in and had fun. Last weekend four others showed up bright and early for the 26 mile road course. This coming weekend will be the third week on the same course, and I am looking to add mileage and switch up the course a little. In the area where we start out, it is pretty much a lot of flat roads. Without riding to far to start, I am trying to incorporate some hills or climbs. With temperatures in the morning almost beginning to feel like fall, the cooler weather will hopefully be here soon.
