If it has been a while since you have visited the Kelson website, you will probably enjoy taking a look now. The content and formatting have been completely revised. Along with the familiar custom bikes, Brian is offering a new service: custom wheel builds. Many of our readers will recognize the bike and legs of this Kelson owner (Clinton Mortley).

Lifeguards Needed for Rexburg Youth Triathlon
Hi all,
If you or anyone you know can help lifeguard in the water at the youth
triathlon Sept 6, please let me know and I'll get you more info.
You'll probably want a wetsuit. It's a ton of fun, and very rewarding.
If you have kids doing it, you can swim with them and get out with
them for the transition, then swim again with the next wave if you
want (or stay out w/your kids if you need to).
Please pass this along. You can reply to me or Tom Anderson.
Thanks!Steph

AMA Challenge September 27th
The AMA Challenge which starts in Ashton and benefits The American Diabetes Association has become a very popular event for local cyclists. It features a variety of distances up to 100 miles. The 100 mile ride is pretty tough and includes two laps up the Ashton Hill and down the Scenic Byway. You can get more information and sign up here. http://www.amachallenge.org/
Congratulations to Idaho Mountain Trading
According to Today's Post Register, Idaho Mountain Trading has purchased the building immediately south of their current location (previously occupied by the Idaho Youth Ranch Thrift Store). IMT plans to move into the new building which is twice the size of its current location sometime in September. They plan to sell or lease their old building. Idaho Mountain Trading (previously know as Mountain Trading Company) has been in business for what must be getting close to 40 years. It is a downtown Idaho Falls institution specializing in cycling, skiing, climbing, and backpacking equipment. Everyone benefits when local businesses prosper and I am always happy to see support for traditional downtown business districts.

Thanks to Everyone Who Came to the BBQ
I am not entirely unbiased, but I think there is a pretty strong consensus that this year’s party was one of the best ever. With rain falling steadily in the mid-afternoon, things looked pretty grim, but we had faith in the hourly forecast and it did not let us down. One of the high points of the evening was the entertainment which featured loud and lively classic rock covers (including Dylan and the Beatles) by DJ Live, David Peck and Jack Harrell. These guys were so good we have already issued an invitation back for next year. We also had some impromptu entertainment with Sam reciting a spectacular original slam poem as well as cowboy singing, guitar, and harmonica by Jens Christensen.
It takes a lot of work to put this on and I am grateful to everyone who helped to set up, cook, and clean. I am already looking forward to next year. Here are some pictures.

Chris Horner Talks About His Withdrawal from the Vuelta
photo copyright Tim De Waele/TWDsport.com/velonews.com
Readers of the blog know that I am a fan of Chris Horner, so I was pretty disappointed to hear that he would be unable to defend his Vuelta title. Horner went on a six hour bike ride to find some solace. http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/08/news/horner-finds-solace-bike-controversial-vuelta-exit_342172
