Human Powered Fun!
Posted by Blog under Mountain Biking , Hiking - Nature - Outdoors , Road Biking , Fitness - Training - RunningBig Bear Lake and the surrounding mountains provide so many recreational options. You can choose water sports with gas powered toys like jet skis or motor boats, or you can explore our incredible network of trails via dirt bikes or 4×4 vehicles. As fun as all that sounds my friends I prefer to enjoy Big Bear’s beautiful playground under HUMAN POWER.
When my family and friends come up to visit it’s not to relax, we all want to be outside as much as possible and we’re always on the go. Whether it’s hiking or trail running, road or mountain biking, kayaking or canoeing we choose to be the engines that drive the machines. Gas prices are not a concern. We only worry about the price of pasta and energy bars! And why not try the same philosophy all week? Just a couple days ago I went for an early morning road ride around the lake, when I got home my girlfriend wanted to go for a hike and then after our hike we rode our cruisers around town to run errands. With all the new bike routes around town and the “share the road” signs placed around the lake, it’s much better to get where you need to go up here and much safer too. If you haven’t already noticed our little community is very human power friendly and it’s way more fun to get around by bike that it is by car. Come on up for a visit and when you get here try to spend one entire day having human powered fun.

You’re blog on Sugarloaf is right on. It’s good to see that you are taking advantage of the superb high altitude training in Big Bear. Mark you calendar for the innagural Big Bear Marathon on September 6th.
