It's
a great day to ride a bicycle!
Welcome to NaugaBike

I was not happy with the structure of the bicycling
pages on my web site. Also, I wanted to expand the
cycling section. Bicycling has become my passion.
First, what got me to this stage?
On completion of cardiac rehab, I was looking
to continue my exercising. Now, the treadmill
got me in better shape, but using that did not do
things for me. Running or just walking did not interest
me either. I started looking at getting on
a bicycle.

Bicycles abound at the discount retailers. The
problem was that seemed there were no one around
to help me pick out a bike. Lucky for me,
I stopped by Xtreme Wheels and Bill spent
time with me, listening what was looking for. Now
I have not been on a bicycle since my youth! Bill
fitted me up for a Trek Navigator 200 and a was
the way on my bicycle adventures.
Cycling, particularly mountain biking, has become
my life. When I am not on the trails, you
will find me working on my computer. Much
of that time is creating and maintaining my web
sites.

on my stable of bicycles, bike rides, trails, and
mountain biking. Enjoy!

New
Photo Web Site
|
|
|
|
|
|
After giving
away my photos for several years, I decided it was
time to recoup some of my expenses. I have created
a web site with my new photos. On the web
site you will find photos of events (Black Hills
Fat Tire Festival, Bike Bash), races, bike rides
(Xtreme Winterfest, CARP ride), and other special
photos.
The new web site is http://win-photo.photoreflect.com.
At that web site, you can view my
photos and order an electronic copy. You will
need to register as a customer of mine. Your
copy will be sent to you via e-mail.
I will be working on a way you can
get prints mailed to you.

A few words about the name
of this web site. Years ago friends on me named
my property as The Nauga Ranch. Some time,
catch me on my bike, and I will give you the story.
It deals with those critters called Naugas
and prized for the hide.
