Are PTEC headlamps washing machine safe?
It’s funny, but over the past three weeks we have received several emails about people washing their Princeton Tec headlamps. And yes, I mean putting said headlamp into the washing machine and pressing START.

Submerged in soapy water and getting banged around amongst grime covered clothes isn’t exactly where we’d like to see our prized gems [...]
Time flies when you are staring at lights.
As I was reviewing my calendar to wrap my scrambled brain around all of the upcoming events in the next months, including the Philly Bike Expo (that’s another post), I suddenly said to myself “how the H is September here already?”
This summer seems to have gone by faster than any in the past 22 years. [...]
Taking Steps & Turning Pedals
The route to mountain tops are seldom reached easily, especially when the mountain is Mount Washington. On a few rare days a year, a bicycle is a feasible method of transportation for reaching the summit. The Mt. Washington hill climb bicycle race happened this past weekend, and while I love riding my bicycle, I didn’t exactly have [...]

What’s your favorite soup?
Last weekend I partook in a wonderful event called Jersey diving. I’ve been of the coast plenty of times, but this was the first time I attempted such a boat dive in my new Sidemount. But let’s back up to more about local Jersey diving.
Every day is hit or miss. Some days the seas are [...]
Jolly got Remix’d
Despite a brutal heat wave in Philadelphia, our friend Robert Jolly took part in the 20in24 race this on July 17-18. The 20in24 is a fundraising run in which participants run (ideally) 20 laps around the Schuylkill (for those not from the land of cheese steaks, that’s pronounced “Skookle”) running path, which is 8 miles.

My personal Journey of headlamp evolution.
I can still remember getting my first headlamp. It was actually brought to me by the Easter Bunny – beleive it or not. At the time, I was still in Cub Scouts and was just starting to get excited about an upcoming week long camping trip.
I dug the big blue and yellow headlamp out of the plastic [...]
