I take photos, yo.

I was fortunate to get invited to Test some bikes with Paintrain, LB, Aaron and Jen from Outside mag for a few days this past week down in Tucson. I was only man enough for two days of riding and I now have a lot more respect for product tests like this: they spent 6 [...]

Electric Grip Shift   Nothing quite like taking a part that is super simple and making it more complex.  Innovation?  I feel like this is something I would see over at yourbikehatesyou but instead I found it here.

Since my Thanksgiving trip to Santa Fe, I haven’t been riding a whole lot. Instead, I’ve been searching for a new job (getting laid off at the end of the month) and trying to get my photo business off the ground. I have ridden a few times, and each time has been stellar. Winter riding [...]

Does that mean it will think about boobs as much as I do?   Link to the story HERE.

Well, this is the first official Greasewipe.  It’s Saturday morning, it might be cold out, heads may hurt, legs may hurt more, but nothing hurts worse than trying to climb a beer-pyramid-steep hill in your big ring when the sum of your wattage is coming from a smoldering lump of beer calories and your wife’s [...]

Last month I got an email from a DC reader, Russell from PA. He said he would be in Cincinnati during the Thanksgiving holiday and did I know of any good trails to ride. I responded that this time of year, the trails are usually closed due to rain. I told him I’d keep an [...]

Yesterday I made my triumphant return to bike shop employment. Just one day a week, part time during the peak season.

Ever been on a ride and hit a squirrel? Shit can get real bad, real quick like. I remembered the post a few days ago about a busted carbon seatpost, and It looks like many of you have either contributed to or should to busted carbon dot com. You’re wondering where the rest of the [...]

A box came for me on Friday. Inside was this: Raleigh is letting me demo this bike for my race season. Here is what went down. I went out to King’s to do some CX practice last week. After a couple of laps around the course, I was doing some intervals. One minute on, one [...]

If you’re a DC Facebook fan, you may have seen the question of the day today. For those of you who aren’t savvy enough with the Interwebz to figgur out the Bookface, here it is: Q: What’s really expensive, about 400mm long, and sounds like a thousand crunchy tacos? Winner gets D2′s undying respect. Ha! [...]

I rode my CX bike yesterday for the first time since last November. I thought I should probably test out the bike since I am racing tomorrow. Dominic had the bike all ready to go for me when I came home from work. He mentioned that he put his old 10 speed Ultegra shifter and [...]
