    Arizona State ParksCottonwood AZ (March 16, 2014) – Experienced mountain bikers will teach workshops Saturdays at Dead Horse Ranch State Park. The Better Mountain Biking sessions will be held on March 22, 29 and April 5, 12, 19 and 26 and May 3, 2014.

    These workshops are for those that have a mountain bike, and want to try taking it off-road, for those that are nervous riding with friends or significant others because they ride “those hard trails,” those that don’t want to slow friends down, because “they’re a lot better than me,” those that have tried to teach friends how to mountain bike, but find it hard to explain things or experienced mountain bikers who want to refine their technique.

    HOME 553Better Mountain Biking sessions start at 12 p.m. on Saturdays and go until approximately 4:00, according to Ranger Randy Victory. “We start with a couple of drills on the pavement, then move immediately to the dirt.” Victory, a mountain biker since 1977, outlines topics including basic riding techniques, physics, trail etiquette, and more. The rides are fun and educational for beginners, but even experienced bikers ride away with new skills and knowledge. “There’s always a certain amount of interaction between riders,” explains Victory. “Group rides where the beginners are supportive of each other, and more experienced riders can offer their insight, are an excellent way to build skills, and have fun doing it!” Riders are REQUIRED to wear a helmet and gloves and complete an Acknowledgment of Risk Form (parents must sign for riders under 18 years old, minimum age 14-16). This form can be downloaded from the Arizona State Parks website at AZStateParks.com/parks/DEHO.

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
