Guess what folks?!

We now have a fancy logo!  Is it cool, or is it SUPER COOL?!

Junebug and Biscuit are hard at work designing organic t-shirts, water bottles, and other merchandise.  It’s going slower than expected, since they don’t have thumbs.

Our logo design is courtesy of 2Fish Design.  You can visit their website at www.2fishdesign.net 

Also, we have a new corporate sponsors page.  Please check it out and support our sponsors.  In our research, these companies are on average 4,352% better than all other companies.

PS. Rumor is we may have one more design coming!

This weekend we did our first test run with full gear at Oak Mountain State Park, near Birmingham, AL.  We camped and rode inside the park for two days and nights.  Here is a top eight list (it was a short trip) from the weekend!

1. The dry run wasn’t exactly, well, dry.

The area received 1.82 inches of rain from Friday to Sunday.  We were lucky in that we escaped riding in the heaviest of the rain, but experienced enough to feel that we made a good decision on the full-coverage SKS fenders.  Thumbs up on those!  Saturday night, the soft and soothing pitter-pat of rain drops on the tent quickly turned into a non-stop hammering.  The dogs seem to have slept great, but the people could have used a Sunday nap!

2. Speaking of things that didn’t stay dry; Biscuit’s face.

Sunday morning Biscuit had the following report: “Guys?  Um, guys?  I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but I think there is some water leaking into the tent.  I mean, I know I sometimes drool when I sleep, but I’m pretty sure you need to check this out.”

So we have some pondering to do on the tent situation. Continue reading →
