Jeff Barber

Jeff co-founded Singletracks with his wife Leah in 1998 and has been dedicated to sharing the mountain bike information that inspires others to take epic adventures ever since. He started mountain biking in high school and served in the US Air Force before devoting himself full time to Singletracks in 2007.

Though formally educated as an engineer, Jeff began writing stories at an early stage, inspired by his mother who is a longtime accomplished author. He enjoys covering the world of mountain biking from every possible angle, whether it's trails or gear or skills. His goal for every story: that readers learn at least one new thing.

Allentown is hosting a slew of bike races on Sunday including the first ever <a href="http://www.mcall.com/news/local/all-b1-5tour-r.6020201sep05,0,5418707.story">Tour de Brew Fat Tire Crit</a>. Competitors will ride through a bar/restaurant from back to front as patrons and race sponsors look on while munching on burgers and sipping brews.

The race is even a US Cycling Federation sanctioned event and, believe it or not, it's not the first sanctioned race with an indoor component (through it is the first through a bar that's open for business).  The first such race actually routed riders through a barn which really doesn't seem nearly as exciting.

Bar owners have agreed to install a no-slip surface on the floor and they're taking precautions by padding everything along the inside route. There's even a rule about passing inside the bar (not allowed) and any rider who crashes during the warm up or race will be pulled from the competition.

Sounds awesome, who's up for a road trip?

A rocky landscape featuring a smooth granite surface with patches of green vegetation around the edges. In the foreground, a large log is positioned on the rock, and a faint path winds across the terrain leading into the background, where lush trees are visible. Overcast skies create a soft, muted light in the scene.

Sounds awesome, who's up for a road trip?
Allentown is hosting a slew of bike races on Sunday including the first ever <a href="http://www.mcall.com/news/local/all-b1-5tour-r.6020201sep05,0,5418707.story">Tour de Brew Fat Tire Crit</a>. Competitors will ride through a bar/restaurant from back to front as patrons and race sponsors look on while munching on burgers and sipping brews.

The race is even a US Cycling Federation sanctioned event and, believe it or not, it's not the first sanctioned race with an indoor component (through it is the first through a bar that's open for business).  The first such race actually routed riders through a barn which really doesn't seem nearly as exciting.

Bar owners have agreed to install a no-slip surface on the floor and they're taking precautions by padding everything along the inside route. There's even a rule about passing inside the bar (not allowed) and any rider who crashes during the warm up or race will be pulled from the competition.
