After 10 days of partying and a bunch of time sitting still in airplanes, I made it back home to the desert a shattered shell of a man. To use a new term I picked up from my Irish brothers ”I’m in pieces.” I used that idle time on the plane to recover and to start going through Read the full article…

Singlespeed Worlds 2011 is in the books. Local Irish boy, Niall Davis won for the men. And friend of DC and all around shredder,Heather Holmes won the women’s race. The trails were really fun, which almost made up  the fact that there were no beer or whiskey aid stations on course. We were moving a Read the full article…

Between the riding, surfing, sleeping on the ground, and the hangovers…I’m beat. I don’t have much to say, but I do have a few pics to share. I ran into some DC representatives at a bar in Limerick and we decided to go hunt for some singletrack. We didn’t find much trail but we did Read the full article…

I have camped in some pretty cool places over  the course of my travels.

100 degrees + Mounatin bike ride = Coors with ice at 10am Act like you know.

It seems that things have been pretty uneventful lately. Or maybe I have just been boring? I haven’t clipped into pedals in over 3 weeks and I’m OK with it, for now. I really haven’t felt the need to put in the miles since my epic fail out at the the 24 hours in the Read the full article…

For our next round of interviews with folks who are attempting the Tour Divide, I give you Dejay Birtch, a man who has been a friend of DC since 2001 or so. DC: First and foremost, why would you want to do such a brutal ride? Dejay: well I guess it has the potential for being Read the full article…

I spent yesterday morning on course at the Whiskey bouncing between aid stations with a bottle of Jim Beam and a camera. This is what I came up with:

It is a glorious morning here in Prescott, Az and the Whiskey offroad “50 Proof” just went off with a shotgun blast.
