Getting Healthy With Mountain Biking! Tips On Mountain Biking Including A Guide To Buying Cheap Mountain Bikes And Mountain Bike Accessories Plus … So You Can Bike Your Way To Good Health!

Some say that mountain biking began with the Buffalo Soldiers, which was a turn of the century infantry who customized bikes to carry gear over the rough and tough terrain. They began in August of 1896, over the course of 800 miles. Their mission was simple -to test bikes for military use in the toughest of terrain. Others say it was the Velo Cross Club of France that started mountain biking. The club was comprised of 20 young bikers from Paris, who between 1951 and 1956 developed a sport that resembles present day mountain biking.

It could have also been John Finley Scott, who was the first mountain biker in the U.S. In 1953 he constructed what he called a “Woodsie Bike”, using a diamond frame, balloon tires, flat handle bars, and cantilever brakes. He was more than 20 years ahead of his time. Even though he remained an off road enthusiast, there were many at that time who didn’t share that same passion.

Today, we believe that the history of the mountain bike is most apparent in Northern California. There are a few areas that claim to be the first community for mountain biking, although each and every history book will tell you Marin County.

The sport of mountain biking has taken many twists and turns over the last several hundred years. Even though there are many that say different things about the history and the beginning, we know one thing for sure – it is a great way to get healthy.

Get started on your mountain biking routine to get healthy with the help of this book.

Betty’s Memorial Day Onion Burgers Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her memorial Day Onion Burgers. Also, as an added treat, Betty’s “ghost” husband Rick appears (at the request of many of you!) Ingredients: 1 1/4 pounds ground beef 1 oz. envelope onion soup and dip mix 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (optional) In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 pounds ground beef and a 1 oz. envelope of onion soup mix. Mix thoroughly. Add 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce (if you want a smoky flavor). Form into 5 hamburger patties. Grill on an outdoor grill, or an electric kitchen grill, or fry them in a skillet. An outdoor grill gives the best results. Cook to the desired degree of doneness. Remove to a serving platter. Menu suggestions: You can serve these burgers on Kaiser buns, with mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard with lettuce, tomato slices, Swiss or Cheddar cheese slices, sauted mushrooms and onions, etc. Accompanying dishes can be Betty’s Barbecue Bean Bake, Betty’s Homestyle Memorial Day Potato salad, and some potato chips, pickles, olives, and any other items of your choice. A great dessert for this meal is Betty’s Chocolate Turtle Dessert Pizza. Have a *great* cookout!!!
