As the leaves are starting to turn in the trees, our Backroad Ramblings man gathers up a group of friends for their annual 'farewell to summer ride.'

awesome. thanks for the nice read. some more pictures would have been great, but the story painted a nice picture. also, im interested in the 505xc-f for trails. i wish he would have commented on how the bike handled the woods. maybe he reads the forum and can comment?

can anyone submit stories for back road rambling? id be interested in doing so in the future maybe.

nevermind. i thought that because he was writing from new york and not california that maybe it was fan free lanced. but now i see that all the back road ramblings are rambled on by the same writer. I thought the writing quality was too good to be fan submitted anyway!

x2468, Backroad Ramblings is one of my favorite columns in all of motorcycling- its monthly by Jason giacchino here at MCUSA.  As I'm sure you saw if you checked out the archives page devoted to it, he covers a lot of topics.  It kind of reminds me Peter Egan's Leanings column (down home, easy to relate with editorial) but I suspect Jason is quite a bit younger than Peter is as he spends less time talking about classic bikes, restorations, Viet Nam etc. and more time with sport bikes, MX, and off road- which happens to scratch right where I itch.
 
Anyway you said you would like to write an article like this, I for one would like to check it out.  If for nothing else we forum pirates are always on the lookout for a nice tale to comment on.  cool

After researching a while back, I discovered that Jason is also the editor of a site called Mountain Bike Tales (http://www.mountainbiketales.com).. I emailed him at editor@mountainbiketales.com to comment on a piece he did on the Rokon Trail Breaker and he wrote me back within a day or two.  I'm sure he would answer any questions you have on the xc-f.
