It never ceases to amaze me the amount of us that are out there. The drunkcyclist family is everywhere and we are growing. I first started noticing this phenomenon a few years ago when I was just some guy wearing the jersey of my friend’s website. Countless people would hand me beers, pat me on the [...]

This one in from our boy 40 Hands.
Here we go, I’m gonna make my best attempt at giving you full and complete report about the entity that was SSAZ/SSUSA. Let me start off by giving a big thanks to Mr. Dejay Birtch for putting everything together. For me it all started the [...]

Another 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo is in the books, and as always, the folks over at Epic Rides put on one hell of an event. I represented DC the only way I know how. Obnoxiously.

 If you have never been to this little piece of heaven in the desert, this is what you are missing:
 
It was a [...]

I made it back up the hill this morning after hanging with local friends in Kleenix just yesterday at the FOTP. In a word, the day was moist. The unusual November monsoon from the night previous, that brought hail the size of marbles to my parents house, provided epicness for the following days ride. With [...]

Can we call it a peak, or is fixie culture going to stay around? Pollard pulled off what I think is the first Alley Cat in Flagstaff. Of course, I’m so old, I’ve never even been to one, the closest I came, were some 3 hour training rides with Gubba Gubba Domenic and I thought [...]

I sat in the family room, the cool gray dawn creeping to light, and thought to myself – I think this is the last one. I can’t imagine doing any more races. I haven’t been training, or riding at all. My fitness level is terrible. I own nothing near a “race [...]

K-Fed came through the drunkcyclist world headquarters this week with Shaft in tow. Good times were had by all. As as aside – Shaft may have blown doors clear off the hinges with his buck four lap. But my man JS crushed all by coming in first on the opening run/bike [...]

Just back from Tucson, most of the day up in the car dropping ass and putting down hatoraid. God it feels good to be a king.
BGR takes a fine third place in single speed solo. Fifteen laps. Kid rocked that podium spot
Flagstaffist came in with eight laps geared solo in his [...]

There are still plenty of spots for you to come and enjoy the fun. 01/19/08 is the date and Tucson is the place to be.

The Pineapple…

…is no longer in showroom condition.

What have I been doing with my weekend? A whole lot of nothing great.
As it should be.
I dragged my daughter around in her tailer for about :45 minutes on my single speed cross bike. It just about killed me like a triple lindy. Or, since to the best of my knowledge no [...]

We got a few things in the mix here in Flagstaff.

Hey there big boy. Im single a 5’10″ blond who enjoys long walks on the
beach, and bitchin underground single speed races. Willing to trade morals
for a good time. Please let me know if this is the place to [...]

Today I rode my single speed for three hours. I still weight 210 pounds. I ate all the turkey yesterday. I am not happy.
And so it goes.

Another edition of Flagstaff’s longest running underground race & Fourth of
July festival, the Cruiser Nation, is in the books. It is a downhill (mostly) run on single speeds at high noon, winner take all, full on local bragging rights grudge match. And, for the rest, an excuse to act like a moron out [...]

After dinner tonight I went out for an hour long ride on my single speed cross bike. The bars are high, the seat is comfortable. It felt pretty good. The air was good, cool and crisp. The ground begs for rain; it is dusty as all hell out there. I [...]

Another pic from my glorious return to racing at the Whiskey 50. Do I look bored or what?

From: Sean
Since you liked that last one so much, here’s one that my wife
took at the 15 start, conveniently resized to emphasize
the look of malaise.

Malaise would be the operative word.

The big man cometh…
I just got this pic of you humble author on some of that fine Prescott singletrack.
Do I look overgeared?

You were sure moving when you passed me. Solid work.

I wonder what the gnome is going right now?

That’s it, another Whiskey if the books. I’d say “Whiskey 50″ but your author admits he did only the fifteen mile course this year. And “Whisky 15″ just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
That said, the 15 was stiff. It went from the, even though I did not The guy who was first into [...]

Tomorrow I drive down to Prescott and try my hand at the Whiskey. In years past I’ve done the 25 and 50 mile versions. This year I’m aiming for 15.
I figure if my mugs splashed across the page I should really make an effort to be there.
15 miles with one feed zone. What’d ya think [...]
