There are a lot of people that I admire and respect for a variety of reasons.
I admire those who have succeeded in advancing the rights of people, those who demonstrate pure kindness, those who keep our trails open to mountain biking, and those who are willing to step out on a limb to try something [...]

Last weekend–Gunnison Growler

Drop them off in Moab, sleep in a hotel, drive to Fruita, order some pizza for post ride goodness, done. While waiting in Fruita, Laura and I hiked the trails there. I would [...]

The results are up!
Cortez, CO!! Driving to Cortez in the morning, I was worried this was going to be a wet day…we drove through rain and SNOW! Luckily, as we rolled into Cortez, there was blue sky. The day was beautiful temperature wise, but definitely a bit on the windy side.
I crewed for Matt today [...]

The CTC stats are up for 2007. 555 riders earned their CTC this year for riding 3 double centuries (yes, 200 miles) in 1 calendar year.
This was my goal for the year, and I earned it! It was quite the adventure, but what’s really amazing is that one person did 15 doubles this year. [...]

So I’m one step closer to being a real singlespeeder, not just a recreational one. I had decided to do the 12 Hours of Temecula with Scott as a duo team. The question was whether we’d be racing with gears or not. Matt was already planning on riding solo singlespeed.
12 hours later, Scott and [...]

I’ve been on the road a lot…I’m in Pleasanton, CA now. To make travel a little more enticing, I’ve been bringing the Ritchey Breakaway with me on some of the longer trips. For this trip, I headed out on the weekend. I did a great century ride on my own on Sunday. I was searching [...]

Summertime…it’s all about hanging out with friends, having a good time, and getting in as much riding as possible! I guess that’s my excuse for why it’s been 3 weeks since I last posted a blog, and I haven’t visited any of my friends’ blogs either.
Big Wheel Racing (BWR) had a huge showing [...]
