I got an email today from my buddy Ryan over at T.B.A.G. letting me know about their 3rd Friday Group Ride that is going down tomorrow night.

I got this one from the honorable Reverend Dick.   Grab a bike (and your flag) and go get free this weekend. Sometimes freedom actually is free.

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…

At the end of last week I wrapped up my first semester as a graduate student, 25% of the time is completed, yet I feel that only about 0.01% of the actual work has been done.  Oh well, that I’m sure will be another story to be told in the future.  Similar sentiments were shared Read the full article…

This one got forwarded to me last week. I hadn’t had a chance to post it up till now. Subject: FW: STOLEN BIKE – Downtown Tucson – Watch the Video!!

i hit the swerves today for 2.5 hours, or in euro time, 10 kilodays.  it was a small group, just a camera and a kona and a dickwad you’ve come to know as shankhock. i treasured every single kineto-slide, barkwipe, jog-ram, slab-blaster, lever-chint, and sparkle whip.  there were about 30 of each.  it was grandeur, Read the full article…

Lets kick this off with an email: From: Andy I’m pretty sure DC will have a gigantic hard-on for this one.  It looks awesome. By the way, DK and I are planning on coming to the fun-fest this weekend.  We should meet up and drink beer.  I don’t have any details yet, but the “run Read the full article…

When I meet people from the DC family out on the trail, the one question I get the most is “How do you know Big Jonny and how did you end up writing for the site?”. I am reminded of this story every year around this time, and today seems like the best day to share it. I always Read the full article…

This weekend rediscovered the joys of being off the bike, and Sunday was perfect.  I have since Saturday been deep in the finer side of maintenance camp. I’m at it with two bikes on the stand.  One is a 54cm Tange rig that will utilize some idle road parts and go on the market.  And, Read the full article…

When the Aussie is in town that can only mean one thing. Time to nut up, leave it in the big ring, and sit second wheel for as long as possible. I’m not going to lie, I came off the wheel at 72kph. It’s funny at 72kph a centimeter might as well been a kilometer. Read the full article…

After a couple weeks filled with road trips gone wrong and nagging injuries I chose to stay home this weekend. Regroup if you will. The only problem is that I have a really hard time staying home.
