Hey, folks. I couldn’t think of anything remotely interesting to write about today, so you get this. I’ve been rolling on WTB Riddler 45’s for a few hundred miles of desert dirtbagging torture and they have been…adequate. Eventually there will be a write up, but to date it’s been a little difficult to capture theContinue reading “Riddle Solved”

Vegas to Primm Day 2
There’s nothing like a desert sunrise to wash away the memories of the prior day’s ride and inspire one to pedal forth into the ether, forging forth further into the sand and rocks. Day 2 began with such an inspiring sunrise, so beautiful I just lay in my sleeping bag watching and waiting for thatContinue reading “Vegas to Primm Day 2”
Vegas to Primm Day 1
This ride was a bit of an experiment. Utilizing a little combination of Google maps, local MTB’er information, and luck, I threw together a fun little two day loop circling around Sloan Canyon and including a little California gravel. Altogether it was a pretty exciting, yet painful ride. Wanna hear about it? Here it goes…Continue reading “Vegas to Primm Day 1”

Nice Job, KC
Thank you to Demi Lovato for the incredible rendition of the National Anthem, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez (and their crews) for the sensational half time entertainment, and of course the 49ers and the Chiefs for making this Super Bowl a game worth watching. This household was screaming, clapping, singing along, and glued to the television theContinue reading “Nice Job, KC”
Dirt Rag: Six Feet Under
I don’t know what to say here, other than this is another drab day for cycling journalism. Growing up in the midwest during the 80’s, I loved riding my bike but didn’t really know about what was really out there until copies of the stalwart cycling publications of the day started showing up on theContinue reading “Dirt Rag: Six Feet Under”
UCI Hints at Gravel Money Grab
There is quite a bit of talk going on the last few days regarding the suggestion by UCI head Dave Lappartient that the organization that ruined…ahem, sorry…. governs road cycling would now like to throw their hat into the ring of Gravel Cycling with a tentative plan to hold a “Gravel World Championship.” Weird, Dave,Continue reading “UCI Hints at Gravel Money Grab”

Lil Bits: Revelate Terrapin System 14L
One of the most important pieces of luggage you can lug on a bikepacking trip is the Seat Pack. You know what they say, keep your enemies close but keep your important, yet not too heavy, gear close to your butt. Seriously, that’s a real saying. Recently I took my trusty Fargo for a rideContinue reading “Lil Bits: Revelate Terrapin System 14L”
