		<description><![CDATA[By GEOFF COWLES Bike Midwest Staff Writer DUCKTOWN, TENNESSEE — “It’s okay to stumble, but don’t fall. You can rest, but you can’t quit.” That’s sage advice for an extreme mountain biker. For Kevin Scoggins, they are words to live by. In 2005, Scoggins heard the words, “stage four non-Hodgkins lymphoma.” At one time, that meant batteries of chemotherapy, radiation treatments, suffering and coming face-to-face with the inevitable. It was upon hearing those words that Scoggins, age 36 at the time, really began to live. The southeast Tennessee resident has remade his life in the foothills of the beautiful, scenic Smoky Mountains and has taken control of his illness from the saddle of his bicycle. Even with that, nobody would have guessed that he would become a mountain biker, let alone ride in a National Ultra Endurance Series bike race. In spite of everything he has faced in six years as a cancer patient, Scoggins expects to line up with the other bikers on April 30 in Ducktown, Tennessee for the rugged Cohutta 100, a 100-mile trip around the Cohutta National Wilderness Area. Scoggins takes on a course that is challenging for experienced bikers. It comes complete with a 12,000-foot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Corby Wise Alright choir, get ready for some preaching. Earlier this month I was appalled after watching a clip on national news of a driver bulldozing his way through a  group of cyclists in Brazil.  The good thing is that he was apprehended and that local officials are planning on throwing the book at him.  None the less, what  on Earth could compel someone to act the way he did?  Although rare, it has happened on more than one occassion, where some idiot has driven straight through a peloton, one in Mexico with fatal consequences.  The other sad point to note, is the total lack of respect by a handful of motorists sharing or not sharing our roads. The equally disturbing part of this is the tag of “funny” attached to some of the footage of these terrible events on Youtube.  Anyone finding the imagery of several people being hit by a car as funny should seek help. The case of someone running into a large group of cyclists is isolated, but who among us has not felt the air from a car that came up on the left way too close?  Without a mirror it is difficult to [...]]]></description>
