It's official - world gone stark raving bonkers!
Climate getting warmer, so what should we invest are hard earned pennies in? Bringing back a creature from the ice age who'd die of over heating in like 15 minutes! There's a reason why these critters died out, boffins! (or will we see Mammoth Steaks in our supermarket? I'm still wondering what happens if aliens invade the Earth and we find out they taste good ... barbecue flavoured Martians ... yummy!)

Cycling News will soon update their website. One thing will be a master clear, a purge of old posts in forum section. CN has given warning and suggestions on backup if it's important to you.
Kreb's was a frequent contributor to Cycling News and a couple other cycling related forums. He lived in Northern Baja Mexico and was active on bicycle racing and travel site like warmshowers.org. He helped many many people, dozens that I can confirm but would guess over a hundred.
Because of some of his posts that included fairly detailed geography, he would posts sunsets or other photos near his home. I saw some of them and when I had opportunity to relocate from NYC to West coast I came across an ocean front rental from an ex pro American surfer who moved from Hawaii to Mexico. The price was excellent, the included photos were also beautiful.. Fully furnished ,rocks throw to the Pacific. I Skype called my potential landlord, we agreed on terms and he requested that I send him a wire transfer for the money. Few hours after finishing the video call, I sent Krebs a message, can you go look at my potential rental and make sure that I am not being internet scammed. I offered him money, he said that he would gladly go check it out for free..he did. He met with the landlord, took additional pictures and had the conclusion that it was 10x nicer than his home, which was not true!! He had a nice house..
Fast forward 2 months, Krebs and I met in person and were friends until his death.
The Krebs Free Form posts he has are a tiny fraction of how fascinating Krebs( Lobo) was..guy was the definition of a renaissance man! He was extremely intelligent, kind and pleasant to be around. Bicycles, bicycle racing was only one of many things that he could be considered a subject matter expert. I am very lucky to have known him, I can say that he was a great man without hesitation.
Shortly before his death some incredible things happened, He was gifted a 23and me DNA test. The results showed that he had unknown additional family, which included a son and grandchild. As was perfect, for a situation far from perfect, Krebs flew to meet his undiscovered family, there was an immediate bond and he worked as hard as possible to make the best of new situation.
It was the subject of joy and happiness between the two of us until he died.
And no I never got sick of driving him to San Diego airport!!!
He was endlessly excited to show photos and videos of new family that he loved instantly.
Krebs also had 5 dogs of all sizes and breeds named after people mentioned in Willie Nelson songs.. Pancho and Lefty were energetic Chihuahuas!!
I write this tribute, best I can and encourage people to take a first or second look at Kreb posts,
get a feel for his intellect and humor that comes through from his CN posts..soon they will be gone

Thank you for this tribute. I didn't know him at all, but I always got good vibes from his posts.
