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, [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Our friends over at Epic Rides are doing it again! I know we talk about them a lot over here, but we just can’t help it. They have been with DC since the very beginning and we love to support those who support us. Anybody want to go to South Africa? Get yourself to Prescott, [...]

Being stuck at work when Cross Nats is going on next door is like having a white head that won’t pop. You’re so close to fun, yet something stands in the way of you from blasting out of there like a bat outta’ hell. Well, the weekend finally came. The beer flowed, the cupcakes were [...]

The weather here has been gorgeous. No shoe covers or balaclava necessary. I am talking about 50+ degree temps and full on sunshine! I gotta take advantage now cuz I know that we will experience winter at some point, and soon. It’s inevitable. Friday I rode an easy 40 miles, solo. Just me and my [...]

I am going to have to agree with what my buddy LittleBun said when he showed me this video:  ”Holy shit sauce!”  

File this under “Damn the Man.” SPECIALIZED BICYCLES SUES FORMER EMPLOYEES WHO CREATE START-UP. Specialized is no different than any other large corporation. These non-compete clauses are very common, and they are ridiculous. I understand trying to protect  your proprietary developments in house, but honestly, the day a corporation owns my thoughts is the day [...]

Reason to celebrate: new bike goodies. Reason number 1 to ride: lost my job so I have a lot of free time now. Reason number 2 to ride: new toys. Reason number 3 to ride: It was 67 degrees in Colorado Springs today. Reason number 4 to ride: you don’t need a reason to ride, [...]

Sitting behind this desk. I can’t leave for 8 hours. The weather outside is perfect and I think I might be dying a little bit. This helps… *via Bikehugger
