My wife and I have been in nonstop travel mode since before Thanksgiving, and about an hour ago, I just got home from Vegas and realized how much I just want to stay at home for, like, an entire month. Alas, Snowbird is calling next month, though I suppose I shouldn’t complain. A week slopeside Read the full article…

I had the great privilege of reading a book sent to the DC family recently with the request that we review it on the site. I was thrilled to do so, and I have written a review below. Before you read it, however, I want to make a case for why I was chosen, and Read the full article…

It’s interesting to note the difference between how the authorities react to this sort of thing in Italy, and how they react in the U.S. Italian Bikers Down. I don’t really have much to say about the whole ‘driving stoned’ thing, as I doubt it had too much to do with this dude hitting the Read the full article…

Hey DC peepulls. Sometimes I am not smart in time to prevent spending money. So here’s how it went down: I went done broke my Race Face cranks. Shucks. So I bought new ones. Yay. Spent lots o money. Good cranks, they are. About a month later, I realized Race Face has a lifetime warranty Read the full article…

It seems mellows have been harshed around here whilst I hopped on the big bird and flew east. Can’t say I care very much, to be honest. Here on the east coast, the woods are brown, the sky is gray, and the living’s pretty good. Strange to think that such dingy colors can actually look Read the full article…

Yeah, so where have I been? I wrote up a fine post last week, and the red screen of death took it away from me. So I let it die, and here I am to write something that’s (hopefully) more interesting than the last time I posted. As with most of my attempts at ‘training’ Read the full article…

Just a quick note before work: I’ve sold out of the SHIFT, HIPSTER t-shirts twice, but I’ve got more in. If you’re interested in buying one, go here: D2′s ETSY SHOP.

I rode up Snowbowl road last week twice. It was the first time I’d done that in years. What’s the occasion? The Gnome informed me there may be a chance I can race at 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo, and I thought it wise to not repeat last year’s performance, in which I crashed Read the full article…

As my friends and ‘constituents’ make the sojourn to the Nevada desert, I am sadly at home missing out on the fun that is Interbike. I decided not to go this year, and I am sad for that decision, but I figured since I’m heading to Denver this weekend, one long distance trip is plenty Read the full article…

For those of you who have never visited the fine burg that is Flagstaff, Arizona, there is a watering hole/convenience store/refuge for dorky cyclists known as the Pay N’ Take that is unlike any other establishment in which I have become inebriated. When I first moved to this town, I spent most nights sitting at Read the full article…

I ran into the Gnome tonight whilst watching some old man softball here in Flagtard, AZ and he gave me some (lighthearted) shit about not posting in a while. I do apologize; I was on the east coast for a bit, and I haven’t done an especially good job of organizing my life since returning Read the full article…
