Daytona Beach, Fla. - The Rolex24 at Daytona brings together a broad spectrum of the racing world, and it is an all-star event of sorts, giving drivers, owners, sponsors and others the opportunity to mingle in somewhat of a relaxed environment. While the race receives world-wide attention, the behind-the-scenes


The dangers of camping in Hinton.

I camped last night, and intend to camp again tonight (seeing as I’ve already paid), at Hinton Centre Campground.  This is an amenity provided by the city of Hinton.  The town stretches along a corridor defined by the Canadian National rail-line and the Yellowhead 16 Highway.  Kind of strip-mall, Canadian Tire, Wal-mart, the usual assortment of fast-food chains, Husky, Mohawk, Esso stations along the highway, with little clusters of residential and industrial development in the vales which lift up and fall away from either side of the main road.

The campground is centrally located along this long strip.  The campground is part of series of community/municipal buildings.  Starting on the lower side of the tracks is the campground, then a church, next a curling rink (station, court?), next a community center, library, skatepark, and some ballfields.  The campground has a lot of potential because of the central location and because it is still fairly heavily wooded (lending both privacy and a feeling of escape).  The facilities are dilapidated (broken fixtures and bathrooms which are reminiscent of the sort of ones populated by heroin users on Capitol Hill in Seattle).  But the city is in the process of constructing a set of sparkling new washrooms including showers.  The price is no bargain at CAN$20 per night.  (But in the grand scheme of things for Canada, this is okay.  It just busts my budget.  The cheapest legitimate campground I’ve found was CAN$14/night.  Seen a couple at CAN$17.  But most are CAN$20 or higher.  With national parks running at CAN$22.50/night and many places inexplicably trying to charge CAN$27 before tax for places of varying quality.)

How do stores measure bike / bicycle sizes? ie.16",20" etc. Is it the outside tire or the inner rim or what?

I need to get a new bike for my almost 6 years.

Kid's and adult bikes are measured differently, btw. For children, the diameter of the wheel, which can be printed on the side of the tire.
