I had me a busy weekend here in Fort Collins, full of bike rides and going away parties. With my advisor’s blessing I left school early on Friday to get my shit together and meet the CSU Cycling gang for a mountain bike ride. The weather was perfect and spirits were high as we began [...]

MTB and going away parties
Glad for the New Year to Start
These past two months have been busy for me, and while I am aware that the things I am dealing with pale in comparison to what others’ go through on a daily basis, I am rather happy that November and December are in the rearview. School and other distractions got in the way of riding, [...]
The Future of American Cycling
The song and dance ends at about the 1:50 mark. Big thank to my buddy JedZilla for bringing this to my attention.
Virginia MTB trail
Waking up to the video below made this day seem like it was starting out alright (credit to Dicky for posting before me). While drinking a cup of coffee, I watched, was impressed, inspired, and hopeful for the progress and maturation of mountain biking. For all the talk about trails being closed, bikes still being [...]
Meg Fisher
I wanted to take a quick minute to recognize a true fucking badass. Meet Meg Fisher, one gear, one leg, one hell of a bike racer. Track, Mountain Biking, Road Cycling, Triathalon (on and off road), 24 Hour Solo Mountain Biking, this gal does is it all, with national and world championships to prove it.
Final Big Fall Ride
Due to a combination old man winter lurking around the corner and a work load this semester that has been cockflogging me, I decided to make one last attempt for a long day in the mountains. Nederland was the destination, the same trails where the rowdiness that was SSUSA took place, for myself and two [...]
Trans Wales
Friend of DC, Rob made the trip across the pond to take part in the Trans Wales last month. Sure there are days when crawling out of bed is a little tougher. There are days where the stage just goes on and on. Days when you’re convinced your body can’t handle it. Days when the [...]
Safety is Sexy Calender
I kicked off this last weekend by heading over to the release party of the Safety is Sexy Calender featuring The Belle Starrs. Few things go better than beer, bikes, and a new calender featuring some lovely women. These photos and gals are all class, so if you are so inclined drop the fifteen bucks [...]
2 Cyclist Down in Boulder, CO
This one hits close to home for me, and many of the cyclists in the Front Range are sending our positive vibes to the two who have been injuried. Officials said that two cyclists were struck by a vehicle near Nebo Road around 8:50 a.m. Colorado State Patrol Master Trooper S.S. Schwanke said two vehicles [...]
Bad news for Boonen
Granted we have yet to talk about what is going on at The Vuelta here at DC, but this story popped up over at CyclingNews, and I figured it deserved a posting. “Because of the friction of the pants with the saddle, I suffer from an injury to the scrotum. The extreme heat and excessive [...]

Cyclist Down
Some very sad news out of South Dakota via email from Team Fubar: Big Jonny, Here we have cyclists down in a different way. Officer McCandles and Officer Armstrong were part of the bicycle patrol unit here in Rapid City. They were on bike when a routine stop turned ugly and both were shot and died [...]
