Traveling with our prized two-wheeled machines isn't that dissimilar to the road musician who guards his instruments with the utmost care. We carefully package, cushion, and prepare our components with precision, knowing that they'll be subject to a variety of bumps along the way. And when we finally arrive at our destination, building the steed back up is also treated with the same energy. With the right traveling case, the routine is made that much easier, and nobody knows this better than the cycling enthusiasts at Thule. With their new Round Trip Transition Bike Travel Case, you not only receive the ultimate in travel protection, but also an integrated work stand for building up and servicing your machine once you arrive. It's an intuitive package that gives you one less thing to stress about while traveling with your bike. The real beauty of the Round Trip is its integrated stand. Say goodbye to makeshift hotel floor workbenches, as the fork-mounted, three-legged stand lets you build, tune, and break down your bike with ease. The system works by attaching your fork at the rail's dropout mount, and also back at the bottom bracket, and then clicking the unit into the base of case. Both wheels tuck on either side of the frame. When you arrive at your destination, assemble the base of the stand, attach the bike/rail unit, and begin building your bike up like you would in a traditional repair stand. The Round Trip Transition was made using a durable ABS two-piece design. The top lifts off from the base, and it's secured back in place with two heavy-duty clamps at the front and rear. An oversized handle on the top makes lifting and moving the case an easy affair, and two smooth roller wheels aid in airport and hotel navigation. It was manufactured in Thule's Chicago facility, right along with its proven rooftop boxes. The Thule Round Trip Transition Bike Travel Case comes in one size and in the color Black. Two wheel bags are included, and the case's size acc.

Following the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915, promotional campaigns generated by the railroads lured wealthy travelers to the park with images of the great outdoors and the many luxuries offered by the finest hotels. Postcards were circulated proclaiming the park as the Playground of the World. The gateway communities of Estes Park and Grand Lake became vibrant hospitality centers, and in 1920, when the two towns were connected with the opening of Fall River Road, a new era of tourism was introduced that continues today. More than 200 postcards are used in this book to provide a chronology of the early hotels, ranches, and other settings that have shaped the park's history for more than a century.

Vampisoul is back with a fresh batch of funky, folky and psychedelic tropical bangers from the deep vaults of Discos Fuentes (and its other properties, Tropical and Machuca). As previously stated in the first volume of this series, the term "Afrosound" is an invented concept appropriated from Discos Fuentes. If the term seems a bit vague or slippery, rest assured that with this second installment you will come closer to understanding the Afrosound aesthetic. This Afro-vibration was sent out from the cold, misty high mountains and bounced back down to the flattened plains, meandering rivers, verdant valleys, steaming jungle and whispering shores of the azure sea, where it was resold to the original regions that inspired it and traveled to further lands beyond the horizon, like Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Argentina. There were also several smaller coastal-based labels like Curro and Tropical that did much the same thing, but maintained a local base of operations for their work. You would have found this sound in little moldy hardware, musical instrument and dry-goods stores, or broadcast on radios in buses, cars, trucks, fishermen's canoes, even lashed to burros. It blasted in bars, hotels, on beaches from transistors. It was played on the booming sound systems at the outdoor black champetero parties under the palm trees and in the palenques, social clubs and house parties in working-class barrios, on crackling loudspeakers blaring from street festivals, in plazas. This incredible stream of black gold adorned and enriched the public airways of Cali, Buenaventura, Cartagena, Baranquilla, to become a symbol of pride and part of Colombia's collective identity. Afrosound is not really something tangible that can be tied down and bound to a critic's rules. Nor is it some venerable folkloric strain passed down through generations from time immemorial. It's a modern bastard hybrid, syncretic and synthetic, spawned in the studio, co-opted by government, commodified by an industry that could only have been born in the era of t
