MTBers read this.

I just wanted to make a post in tribute to Roger Bell. Roger Bell built the Santa Ana River Trail (the single track up in the mountains) and many other wicked trails we have all enjoyed, localy and otherwise. Roger is a Redlands resedent and just so happens to be friends with Johnathan Baty. I was interested in meeting Mr. Bell and John brought him up to the shop to say hi. Mr. Bell has a new book out called "Trail Tales" consisting of short poems and factoids about his many years of trail building, some funny, some indearing. He left copies of this wonderfull book at the shop (Cycletek). The next time you hit a sweet peace of single track, stop for a moment and think-honor the people that put the blood, sweat and tears into it.
