Frozen Trails

So on Friday, it was 15 degrees here in Cincinnati and I was on my way to the suburbs to pick up some new dog coats when Caveman texted me: I just had a hamburger for breakfast and soon to be some trail time. I texted him back: It is 15 degrees here and my Read the full article…

Testing Tucson

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 Read the full article…

Old Mecca, Same Stoke

I am on the road yet again and this trip finds me in Moab, UT. This place never gets old. Some try and say otherwise and I say those people are blind fools. It has fluctuated in popularity over the years but fun will always be had here. I remember the first time I came here, 10 Read the full article…

Whiskey Press

No, not the drink… The Whiskey Off-Road is coming up, and the folks over at Singletrack.com have a nice little write-up about the area and the event. It reminded me of the times I spent climbing out of Skull Valley as the sun beat down on my already-sunburnt neck. These are the types of events Read the full article…

Its cold out and the trails are damn good right now in Spokane. I’ve been killing time waiting for the temp to rise a couple degrees before getting my pedal on.

Glad for the New Year to Start

These past two months have been busy for me, and while I am aware that the things I am dealing with pale in comparison to what others’ go through on a daily basis, I am rather happy that November and December are in the rearview.  School and other distractions got in the way of riding, Read the full article…

File Under: WTF?

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.

Flagstaff, this is Caveman and I’ll dance naked around you…

Man, I just read all of your comments. I know for a fact I could rollerblade  down to your area and raise serious havoc on all of you. First I’ll come to your local bar and pee on all your shaved legs then kick all of the spokes out of your bikes and beat all your Read the full article…

Marco the Beast

I cruised over to the DC Tumblr page as I settled in for my post ride recovery beer(s) this evening. Although I’m not quite sure what this thing is all about, I do know that Big Jonny does a hell of a job putting up badass images and commentary. This little blurb caught my eye: I have this Read the full article…

Sedona. Bitches.

Now that it is warm and Spring-like here in Flagstaff, snow is melting and there is so much mud it is time to drive to Sedona every other day to ride. And it is magnificent. There are more trails there than I thought and thanks to the USFS and the locals who help work on Read the full article…
