The first two hurdles have been cleared as shown by the widespread use of Campagnolo EPS and Shimano Di2 not just in the pro peloton, but also by high end cyclists every where. The introduction of both Athena EPS and Ultegra Di2 shows that the price is coming closer to the recreational market. Electronic shifting is here to stay, this time.

Mountain Bike Touring Colorado Trail from Durango to Denver - Ride it or Race it

By Adam Lisonbee

40 years ago, Bill Lucas had an idea. He wanted to develop a trail system that connected the vast mountainous terrain between Denver and Durango—a trail that would be accessible to people of all abili- ties and ambitions, day-hiker and through-hiker alike. The concept that would become the Colorado Trail was born.

Touring Missouri Gem: The Katy Trail The MKT was established in 1870 and was the first railroad to enter Texas from the north, and interest- ingly, the town of Katy, TX, near the end of the line, takes its name from this old railroad system. Like so many railroads, the MKT came upon hard times and was merged into any number of other rail- roads, ultimately ending up owned by the Union Pacific. Of possible interest to Utahans; in 1984 some of MKT’s last functioning engines were used locomotives that were pur- chased from our very own Kennecott Copper Corporation.
