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 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 and blog.

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 also have a new
photo blog. Some of my recent and/or better
photos are displayed there and available for sale.

essay about "Why I Ride".

essay. You will need Acrobat Reader for the essay.
The Essay was poblished in the November 2011 issue
of Road Bike Action.

In June 2011, I traveled to Hayward, WI for CAMBA
Festival of the Trails. This was my second
time attending this mountain bike festival. Original
plans where to stop by La Crosse to ride Rails-2-Trails
on the way home. That was until I learned
the new Cuyuna Lakes Ride Center was opening the
following weekend, with a mountain bike festival.
Changed plans and attended the frist Cuyuna
Lakes Mountain Bike Festival in Crosby, MN.
The week between the festivals, I filled with
playing "tourist" and checking out other
bicycle trails. I hiked and shot photos at
Wisconsin's Interstate
State Park, Copper
Falls SP, Amnicon
SP, and Pattison
State Park. Looked around Ashland/Bayfield,
WI, and twin ports of Duluth/Superior. Finally,
a short visit to Minnesota's Jay
Cooke State Park.

In October, I drove tp Deerwood, MN to ride again
at Cuyuna Country State Recreation area. Later
in the month was my Army Reunion. I rode in
Little Rock, AR
and Table
Rock State Park (Branson, MO). The year
was ended with a trip to visit and ride in Palm
Coast, FL.
2012 started off with a trip to Albuquerque.
Rode some more and different trails (pavement
& dirt). Get the low-down on the updated
Albuquerque
Trails page.

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.
