  What Fairdale is to me (today)Fifteen years ago I was a BMX pro riding around Austin with a single minded focus on BMX.

  A weekend in the U.P. at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore  Well, to be honest I did very little bike riding for this post. I pulled my MTB out of the van and did a few mile snow bank crashing romp but otherwise I was just a normal tourist for a few days.
