This should just about wrap up most of the content from my fatbike trip down to Mexico. Although I have been known to take off for days on end on a pretty regular basis this trip was different in a few ways. In 15 years of doing this, I had never toured with another person, [...]

Here is a little snippet of my fatbike trip down in Mexico. We were fortuante enough to have a real deal photographer on this trip and he keeps blowing our minds with the images he made. I asked Devon to put together 10 of his favorite images from the trip with some captions for all of you [...]

For the past two weeks I have been trying to write a trip report for my last bike tour. It has proven to be a much harder task than normal. I just can’t seem to find the right words to sum up such an intense trip. A trip that left me completely thrashed for a week afterwards and still [...]

Due to my work schedule, I am fortunate enough to have 3 and 4 day weekends on a regular basis. This usually results in a lot of traveling and time away from home. This weekend I decided to force myself to stay home, catch up with friends, and ride some local trails that I haven’t [...]

I first met Taylor last summer when he started working at the shop. Initially dismissed as the new shop grom, I eventually found myself having more and more in-depth conversations with him about 24 hour races and long off road tours. Come to find out, in 2009, the he was the under 25 World Champion for  solo 24 hour racing. [...]

I’m cooked. Not baked or fried, but I think I pedaled in the blazing sun long enough today that I could be considered human jerky. My lips are cracked and bleeding, my eyes are bloodshot and my arms and face are tanned to the color of a piece of perfectly cooked back. Needless to say, [...]

Nothing like riding for a reason or two. Today’s ride started around rush hour and found me doing the usual, zig-zagging the side streets, tearing through quieter passages, cutting into alleys, skirting the boulevards. 3 hours, lots of pictures, and one ‘special’ washer found. Down Highland, a road I have been on 1000 or more [...]

Right on Main Avenue, near the train tracks and the Western edge of the Dunbar Spring neighborhood, is a building housing Jimbo, a cyclist woodworker, and Ed, a frame builder in the early prime of his career. Pistol Pete owns one. That man is as serious as they come when it comes to expedition bicycle [...]

Back in September, at Interbike, I drank some whiskey with some pretty cool guys. I only got pictures of a few of them, and forgot almost all the rest. Then a few weeks ago I was pedaling my townie to the pub when I had a bit of a whiskey flashback. It dawned on me that I threw back  some Old Grand Dad at the AHTBM [...]

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 [...]

My recent travels found me wandering around Quintana Roo, Mexico. The plan was simple enough. Fly into Cancun and wander around for a while on my bike. Then get back to Cancun in time to see a great old friend get married and catch a flight home. I had no idea what was in store [...]

Our man of the world, Dirty Biker, is planning to go big again. All he does is go big. Heading down to quintana roo and the yucatan to drink cheap beer and chill on empty beaches. This world ain’t gonna see itself. I wished him well, asking only that he takes only photos and leaves [...]
