How to ride rock gardens

Dan Atherton explains how to ride the rocks in one of the gnarliest rock gardens you’ve ever seen ridden on a UCI World Cup course. (If it looks bad in the video it must be really gnarly in real life!)

Reno Stolen Bike Alert

Hi all,

This morning I awoke to movement in my house at 5 a.m. I thought it was the cats at first. I got up to take a leak and heard the garage door open. Something I know the cats can’t do. By the time I got some cloths on and got down stairs my brand new Santa Cruz Blur 4X and my wife’s Santa Cruz Heckler were gone. The good news is that they didn’t get my V-10 or motorcycle. As you might know the Blur 4X is pretty rare here in Reno so if anybody sees one it is more than likely mine.
