Also known as the Chinese Desert Cat, the Chinese Mountain Cat is a small wild cat that resides mainly in parts of Western China.

Ears are set widely apart on the flat skull and highlig

A mountain bike is particularly designed for riding on uneven and bumpy areas. Most mountain bikes have fat knobby tires, which ensure extra traction and appropriate shock absorption. A full front and rear suspension is becoming more common in the recent models of bikes meant to run on mountainous surfaces.Modern bikers are less fond of handlebars and extensions though some bicycles under this particular variety are provided with end bars on the handlebars. Wheels of mountain bikes range from 26 to 29 inches. The larger wheels have better rolling capabilities and helps in rotational weight thereby making slower acceleration aptly possible.

Q. Which is the highest mountain in our solar system? Is it Mount Everest?A. No, howsoever tall Mount Everest stands, it doesn’t stand a chance on this count. The highest as well the largest known mountain in the solar system is Olympus Mons on the planet Mars. (see photo) It rises about 79,000 feet (24,000 meters) above the surrounding plains. The Mount Everest, on the other hand is only 29,028 feet above sea level. It has about 100 times the volume of our terrestrial champion. The base of Olympus Mons is 600 kilometers across. The volcanic crater at the summit is over 64 kilometers across, large enough to accommodate about eight cities like Mumbai. If Edmund Hillary had set out to climb Olympus Mons at the same pace as he climbed Everest, it would take him 130 days – almost three tim

I went with Jeff today to Powhite Park for a nice ride today. We meat at 2.0pm and started on the trails. It was a windy day at 85 degrees and sunny! We had a good ride and rode 4.5 miles, not really hardcore today just getting in a good cardio work-out! Powhite is really hilly, not many lat trails and they are in really good shape given all the rain that we had in the last 9 weeks. Some of the obstacles have been taken out due to they want the trails to be more hiker friendly because of the condos that are being built next to the park. In my opinion, they could have cut a trail to the side of the obstacle and let it in. We will see what happens to the park after all the people move in.Laters...What is your opinion?Blogroll Me!Subscribe to my Posts... Blogroll Me!

One of the greatest appeals of mountain biking is that it is a unisex sport. Mountain biking does not discriminate on the basis of gender. Nor does it eliminate participants due to their ages or ethnicities; in its early years it was largely the domain of men and boys, but now women and girl mountain bikers are joining the fun in record numbers. Girls mountain biking has begun to achieve prominence in the sport, thanks to the teams of girls mountain bikers fielded by many US high schools. High school mountain biking programs allow female students to master the techniques necessary to succeed in girls mountain biking competitions, and many of them are the equal of the male bikers in their schools.NorCalThe NorCal High School Mountain Bike League, founded in 2001, opened up the world of girl

Jeff Sanders' project Mountain Mirrors started in the woods somewhere in Massachusetts. Sanders has been making music since he was 13; by then, he was a real heavy-metal kid, listening to Anthrax, Metallica and the likes. But later, he also discovered the sounds of Pink Floyd, Led Zep, and songwriters like Nick Drake or Damien Rice. And it's this style of music that Sanders draws from these days.Dreadnought, the latest release from Mountain Mirrors, is a mellow and atmospheric blend of folk-rock, psychedelia and singer/songwriter that is perfect for a gray and rainy day (like here today!). It has some references to 60s/early 70s bands like Pink Floyd or Moody Blues, but on the other hand also sounds modern (think of Antimatter or Opeth at their Damnation phase). It is definitely music that

Women have even begun to compete in extreme sports, including mountain biking.There is no anatomical reason why women mountain biking cannot manage the strong pedaling required, and enough of them have now taken up the sport that they are no longer a rarity on the mountain biking trails. But mountain biking, like any sport, can cause long-term health consequences in its participants.There us a question of whether or not women mountain biking are endangering their reproductive systems.

Thanks to James Crossley for alerting us to this important blog, NT Wrong (a spoof of Bishop NT Wright). You will find a number of interesting things on there including this, Brokeback Mountain: Christian Edition. BTW, James Crossley is a scholar of Christian origins, whose book, Why Christianity Happened: A Sociohistorical Account of Christian Origins was one the IRD's Jim Berkeley (and other Presbyterian right wing nuts) wanted removed from the Presbyterian Publishing House. Wouldn't want them publishing scholarship, would we?The Presbyterian Right might approve of this film, though. “Because there’s only one man whom it’s ok for another man to love.”

Busy and Hectic Lifestyles led San Franciscans away from their country and into the Marin County which marked the origin of the sport of Mountain Biking. What started as a mere sport became a passion as the sport made a niche in history and even bikes were modified to suit the sport. Mountain Biking used to be the passion of a selected few until it became widely accepted as a competitive and enjoyable sport. The reason for this change was due to three factors. These factors were the individuals who used the extreme sport of Mountain Biking to fulfill their passion, the location or geographic aspects and the construction of the Mountain bike. Factor No.1 - The People The late 1960s marks the beginning of the history of Mountain Biking when San Franciscans getting tired of their extremely bu

Mountain bike shocks are important for the overall handling of the bike. So it is essential that you keep an eye on them and replace them when needed.

This article is about how can a bicycle be made more strong that can withstand the obstacles and the tough path that comes across in the track. Mountain bikes are the most strong and rugged bicycles. These bicycles are supposed to be ridden on the pebbled and steep inclines, dirt tracks and also through the hairpin bends. Cyclists drive very rarely on the mountain roads, which are paved. Many of the cyclists like using their mountain bikes on the unpaved and narrow tracks. This would result in a more tear and wear, which force the manufacturers of the cycle to come up with bikes that are sturdier. You therefore can find bikes that have bigger and fatter tires that are made from strong rubber. This allows the cyclist for a increased traction and also gives a free movement of the bicycle on
