Ski season is here

Submitted by Chris on Thu, 12/12/2013 - 21:07

Here at Trail Genius we don't stop mapping just because there is a foot of white stuff on the ground, we bust out the skis and fat bikes and just keep on keepin' on. Here are some choice shots from last year while collecting data for our Mont Ripley ski hill map, should get you in the mood to earn some early turns.

Xterra Marquette

Submitted by Chris on Thu, 09/12/2013 - 00:52

It was a action packed weekend at Xterra Marquette! There were boats, drones, paddle boards and all manner of filming and mapping devices strapped to any number of Trail Genius racers and crew members. The morning started off warm, which is never a good sign race day, but the water in Tourist Park Basin just outside of downtown Marquette, MI was cold so wetsuits were good to go.

Pee Oui Returns to Alpe d' Huez

Submitted by Phil Van Valkenberg on Mon, 07/22/2013 - 22:23

Pee Oui is older. Alpe d' Huez is older. Even Steven? Not. Alpe d' Huez wins. Pee Oui at 68 is slower. Alpe d' Huez is no easier. Pee Oui had fine tuned his S&S coupling Schwinn Paramount to a fair-thee-well. His bod was as good as it would get.

Mt Ventoux

Submitted by Phil Van Valkenberg on Mon, 07/15/2013 - 21:52

Pee Oui had struggled against the steep pitches on Mt Ventoux for over an hour in 2003. As he ground around another hair pin corner a curse barked from his dry throat, "You bastard, you killed Tommy Simpson, but you won't kill me."

Descent from Alpe d' Huez most dangerous ever?

Submitted by Phil Van Valkenberg on Sun, 06/30/2013 - 20:59

There have been many hairy descents in Tour de France over its 100 episodes as this vintage photo by Henri Lartigue shows. One descent in the Pyrenees took the life of Lance Armstrong's teammate, Olympic Champion, Fabio Casartelli in 1995. He crashed and went head first into a concrete barrier block someone thought was good road furniture to keep vehicles from going over a cliff.
