FIRST IMPRESSION - SALSA HORSETHIEF: An all-new, 120mm travel 29er for 2012, the Horsethief is like a thicker, slacker, longer travel and tougher brother to its stablemate, the Spearfish. So far it suits Western Pennsylvania terrain perfectly.

ACCESS ACTION - ARIZONA'S BLACKROCK CANYON TRAIL: More than 80 miles of backcountry singletrack stretch out through central Arizona framing a part of the country known for cowboys, cacti and yes, pie.

DIRT RAG'S OFFICE COMMUTING TOTALS: The staff put up more than 6,000 miles commuting to and from the office in 2011, and editor Karen Brooks put up far more than anyone else. See how they compared to your 2011 totals.

GIFTS IN THE MAIL ARE 'AWESOME': We had a nice one waiting for us after the holidays - the Awesome Strap Race, with flames for extra speed! Once we figured out how it's supposed to work, we confirmed that it is indeed awesome.

REVIEW - ORBEA ALMA CARBON 29ER The Alma has a playful nature to counter its disciplined efficiency. With its snappy head tube angle and fairly short chainstays and wheelbase, this is a quick-steering bike that feels smaller than it is.
