Anyone know? Haven't seen a post by him in ages. He must be out riding his age or something.

Rumors of my incarceration have been exaggerated, but not by much:

I returned late last night from my mission as goodwill ambassador to the Ukrainian people for the Kentucky Mountain Bike Association:

As the Baron von Munchausen said, I realise that these tales are what lead people to believe I make all this stuff up, so here is proof-positive I was there:

The obligatory majestic church from Kyiv picture:

I can smell a bike store from a continent away:

For those of you a little rusty on your Russian, transalliterated into the Latin alphabet this place is called "Velo Mir" or "Bike World".

There were some goat trails that I think would have made fine MTB trails:

But I didn't get homesick as there was excellent American cuisine available:

That pretty much sums it up.

Looks like it was a fun trip.

Are the bikes there locally made or are they riding the same chinese bikes that we do?
