Hello everyone. It is so nice to be a part of this 29er bike party. Thank you very much to our sponsor, Gary Fisher Mountain Bikes, for making this possible! We love your bikes!
They call me Desert Dan. Not merely because I’ve lived here in this desert for most of my life. Well 26 out of 50 years. But because of the hardcore things I enjoy doing physically in these desert-mountains. Especially on bikes. 29er mountain bikes by Gary Fisher.
The culmination of all these years & summers spent living in Borrego Springs, San Diego County, California, is about ready to come to fruition in the manifestation of the Ultimate Cyclists Base Camp. My wife & I have just purchased a 10-acre retreat in Borrego and are set to move into it the first week of April. Lots of great desert trails all around the property, with the mountains just a hop & a skip away. And you all are welcome to visit & share some riding experiences with me… Needless to say the past couple of months have been exceedingly hectic with tasks other than cycling. Namely old home remodeling, etc. Though this work has kept me from my cycling much more than I like, it is work that has to be done. To make a long story short, I’ve managed to hang onto a bit of cycling conditioning by riding the bikes when the time & energy have presented itself. Maybe rest is a good thing for the upcoming long races I’ll be doing…
So please allow me to keep you informed of the latest developments in the Cyclists Retreat now forming in Borrego and all the ways the Fisher 29er mtbs relate to this. And to all my fellow team riders, happy trails ridin swiftly & smoothly on your Fisher 29ers!
“Desert” Dan Cain is a Mtb Icon and one of the best ambassadors for southern California Cycling I have ever met. Dan’s drive and determination have been an example for other racers and riders to follow. It has truly been a pleasure these past few years to have him at the “12 Hours Of Temecula” Bike races. The race series would not be the same without him. I wish Dan the best and i cant wait to see him in the dirt! By the way Dan congrats on the new homestead. You deserve it!
