POPSShebeest Boardrider Capri Bike Pants - Women's More: I bought a second pair because I ride so much. I had tried several other brands and they tend to get very bunchy in the crotch or just incredibly unflattering. Some people don't like light padding, but I find it perfect. I typically ride 2-3 times a week at least 10+ miles each time and I never wish I had more pad. And most people don't realize that you are wearing riding bottoms which makes it easy to go from trail to public without looking out of place. I also like the length. When the sun is beating down, it protects my legs from getting burnt. I also wear knee pads and the material fits perfectly over the top.

POPSHiking Into History: England’s Ancient Ridgeway Trail More: The full 87 miles of the official Ridgeway National Trail can easily be divided into shorter segments, depending on time available. It can be cut more or less in half, by deciding to walk only the older, original western section, which passes all the great prehistoric sites. Day hikes, and half-days centered on the Uffington White Horse, or Wayland’s Smithy, or the Avebury Stone Circles, can easily be devised by studying the map. The trail’s excellent Web site (www.nationaltrail.co.uk/ridgeway) is full of advice, and possibilities for accommodations and meals.

POPSCalifornia's old-growth redwoods: Tree therapy amid ancient coastal giants More: The national spotlight is being cast on the park again this month with the Redwood Empire featured in National Geographic magazine. The centerpiece is a fold-out photograph of one of the park's giants, the Iluvatar Tree, the world's third-largest coast redwood at 20 1/2 feet in diameter and 320 feet tall… Of the trails that provide access to old-growth in California, the James Irvine Loop is one of the best. This loop is a 7.5-mile round trip that provides a route past a succession of giants. It's easy enough that most anybody can simply walk a half mile and back to get a feel for an ancient forest. It's long enough that the entire loop delivers a sense of discovery and awe with each grove, and the good, clean feeling that comes with hiking a few hours in a pristine landscape. This trip can change how you feel about things for a long time. Big trees can do that.

POPSSpain - The Land of Manana While visiting Spain you may be overwhelmed at the choice of activities. Other than the well known beach, water sports and golfing holidays the regions variously offer hiking, biking and mountaineering. Skiing in the Sierra Nevada and exploration of the mountains of Los Picos compete with Grand Prix motor racing and world class football. The museums, art galleries and parks rub shoulders with gastronomic restaurants, hotels and bars. The range of activities is only limited by your imagination.

POPSCredit scores climbing on Prosper as borrowers seek alternative financing "There has never been a better time to be a banker," said Chris Larsen, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Prosper. "With credit card companies hiking rates while at the same time reducing credit limits, people with great credit are looking for an alternative way to get rid of their credit debt and finance their small businesses. The result of the 'too big to fail' institutions turning their backs on consumer and small business borrowers is that individual investors are finding peer-to-peer lending to be an attractive new asset class that enables them to do well while doing good."

POPSTrailing Indicators: Out of a Job, Some Decide to Take a Hike I am surprised no one has written a site or app to allow people to plan all this out and for those looking for hikers to work to post their exchange, etc. Seems like it would be a nice little business, of course one would need to plan and schedule all this out before they hit the trail.
