West Systems G/Flex Epoxy 2-part epoxy is uniquely flexible, very tough and can apply to wet surfaces What is it? ...This is the best project epoxy out there. It's the only hardcore epoxy that is flexible, supertough and can be applied to wet surfaces. It's great for bonding dissimilar materials that might both be moved in relation to each other and shrink/swell repeatedly. It's famous in boat repair. Sure, it has some specifics you need to keep in mind. It comes in a box with 2 4-oz bottles. You just mix equal amounts of each and apply. It dries a light amber color. It takes a couple hours to set and then a day to cure. So it's not a 5-minute type! Lastly, West Systems is a MICHIGAN company whose owner is a big fan of canoe-sailing!

The Tour Divide --- a refreshing new "big" bike race! A GDR racer. It's no secret that scandals in the Tour de France have soured fans on the "big" pro side of sport. Well, there's a new "small world" kind of event on the scene that has the freshness of amateur racing---along with a grand scale of achievement. Welcome to the "Tour Divide"! The TD is a mt-bike race that runs the length of the Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico each June. The winners take about 17 days to ride 2745 miles entirely UNSUPPORTED on dirt trails and roads. That's 160 miles a day! And, except for a couple stretches, it's not only all-dirt but all-MOUNTAINS. Racers deal with snowy passes, wild animals and (mostly) friendly people. Fans along the way host riders for dinner or offer a place to sleep. It's a wilderness race but also a public one as the course goes through maybe a hundred small ranch towns in addition to mountain resort towns. The mountain towns often have favorite bike shops for pit stops. Little diners and restaurants along the route are the life-blood for the racers. Pie Town offers a mean pie. It's a real cultural event. The rules, overhead and flow are simple. No entry fee, no prize. It's extreme---with riders sometimes doing 200+-mile days---yet it keeps a human scale, with riders stopping to help others. It's a young event. Fans get to watch breakthroughs happen each year. One year John Nobile won using fairings. Matthew Lee has won multiple editions---and he's the organizer! About 50 riders start and about half finish. Pushing bikes through snowfields and muddy valleys takes its toll. The race is truly like the Tour de France used to be. Racers use payphones along the way to give news about how they're doing. The organizers put this info up on a blog. Fans watch the race unfold each day. They listen in via podcasts, or just read the text. The racer reports are often funny. You can relate to them. It's a nice change of pace compared to today's pro sport! Men, women, young and old mix it up together. They ride together or on their own as they like. One year Kent Peterson, a singlespeed racer, rode from Seattle to the start.
