We’ll see how this one works out. Right now I’m still working the kinks out of the new webhost so please bear with a few bumps and bugs. If you notice any problems please use the contact form or email me at mtbogre at gmail.

Update 4/14: D’oh! So my Contact Form was one of the things that was down. Turns out I thought I had most of my site back online I still have a long ways to go. Thanks for being patient! The Contact Form is now working so please accept my apologies. Still broken is my newer image galleries/ ride report along with the Trail Map. If you find anything else let me know.

What lousy timing. Well I restored most of the older stuff, I’m working on getting the rest online.

It looks like I restored most of the articles ok,  probably a little weirdness in them but not too bad.  I lost some comments on the articles, I’m working on getting those back up.

I actually crashed version 1 and don’t feel like fixing it because this version was so close to being ready. So what you get is almost all of the features I’d intended but I don’t have the database built completely yet. However even at this point I think it is pretty unique and cool. Currently the map includes the Folsom/ Auburn Area trails like the old one did plus a few others. I have a database backend on it now so I can add trails to it very quickly so I expect it will grow very quickly.

While working on this I’ve realized that my site has really started to become quite large and cumbersome at it is quite a chore trying to keep everything up to date. Also at one point in time I lost quite a bit of content and I need to rebuild it but time is just slipping by.

If anyone would like to help me add locations to the trailhead map please Contact Me! and I would love to set you up. Incidentally for those who have used my contact me link on the site and found it broken it is now a web form. You can email me at ogre at ogrehut -dot com or just use the form (which emails me).

I got a helmet camera in the mail so I will soon be posting videos as well as pictures of rides. This weekend I am heading up to Oat Hill so I will try to get some videos from there but since this will be my first effort don’t expect a lot.

Also, I managed to recover quite a bit of the lost information on my site but I am still missing quite a bit. The only backup I had was way too old.

I am working on getting a backup restored and getting the affected pages rebuilt but in the mean time bear with me. Most of the pictures are intact but the text content was wiped out.

There are catagories for Mountain Bike rides in the valley area and road rides listed by county. Click here or click on find a ride in the menu bar on the left.

I go tired of getting double and triple billed by my old hosting provider so I decided to mooch web space from a friend. Jason is a great guy and has been a huge help moving my site over to his server. If there are any problems with the site please Let me know.

Sometime in late summer/ early fall Brian Joder from Prairie City Mountain Bike Racing had his domain name stolen from him. Domain name theft really pisses me off, this also happened to Fatrac and to my site as well in the past. In any case, the new link is :


http://www.racemtbikes.com

In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, the Prairie City Race Series is a Mountain bike racing series near Rancho Cordova. Go to their site and check it out.

Please make a note of it!... and if you could make the change on your website that would be great!
Thanks much!
Brian

Then Brian sent me a link to his site BDDPro.com which has trail maps and elevation profiles for a bunch of Sacramento area and Tahoe trails.

I have set it up so the front page of the site is now fed from a database which will make posting stories a lot easier for me. There is also an option for readers to comment on stories and ridicule me publicly.
This is actually the second time I’ve put this up as my front page. The first time ‘round I made a SQL oops and deleted all of the stories in the database.
