A couple of mountain bike stories to start off your week:

How many crack rocks is your bike worth to you?

For George N. Magalhaes the answer is easy: four. The Florida man was arrested for attempting to trade his purple mountain bike for four rocks of crack cocaine. I dunno, I would want to get at least 10 rocks for my bike…

Alaska MTB endurance racing

I wrote about snow bike racing last week and mentioned that some mountain bikers are competing in the Iditarod this week. The Anchorage Daily News has a great article on one of this year’s competitors – 55 year-old Rocky Reifenstuhl. The article mentions that Rocky has ridden more miles across the frozen Alaskan wilderness than any other mountain biker so I wonder how his mileage compares to Jill? I say they’re both hard core (if not a little crazy).
