It’s 11/11/2011… what is there to do. You can start by turning it up to ELEVEN! It is also Veteran’s Day. So thank a vet. They are pretty cool. You might even have today off thanks to those vets. You should probably go mountain biking.

Waking up to the video below made this day seem like it was starting out alright (credit to Dicky for posting before me).  While drinking a cup of coffee, I watched, was impressed, inspired, and hopeful for the progress and maturation of mountain biking.  For all the talk about trails being closed, bikes still being [...]

K-Nob rocks the DC socks. Nice. There is a lot of respect for Kona up in DC.

The Giro is hot, hot, hot. You like action? This is action. it was, in my opinion, far better than the Tour de France for the better part of the last decade. The video commentary is a bit over the top, with plendy of clumsy lines like this one: The toughest race, in the worlds [...]

I have been on the fence about getting a fat bike for years now. I just couldn’t justify having a snow bike when I lived in the desert. Then I saw the Alaska beach video and my gears started to turn. Combine that video with a couple peer pressured nudges from my friends the Stomparillaz and I finally broke down [...]

So, I’m home sick (what else is new) and I get this message from my man Dirty Biker. 10am in mexico. Motherfucker is living the dream. You know what I like about taking antibiotics for a sinus infection? I don’t like anything about taking antibiotics for a sinus infection.

Today is an important day around here at DC. Last year on this day I wrote a post  in honor of my friend. I decided that I am going to re-post it every year on this date as long as I am able. It just seems like the right thing to do. Whether you decide to [...]

Looks like a great course. I have to sell some shit in my basement and get a CX bike. Anyone with a 58cm to sell on the cheap? —bp.

Friday – Devou Park Cyclo-Stampede I had committed to working this race a while back in exchange for a free entry. Based on my lack of riding in the last month, let alone “training”, I had two goals – 1. Smile. 2. Stay upright. Easy enough. I took some suggestions, brought a trainer to spin [...]

This past Halloween, I did not party like in years past, mostly because I don’t really know anyone here in Colorado Springs to party with. In lieu of drunken debauchery, I went to a Halloween criterium put on by the Women’s Mountain Biking Association of Colorado Springs, and I’ll tell ya, I had a damn [...]

The Cincinnati UCI Cyclocross Festival kicked off yesterday. Dion, of Velo Vivid Photography, captured this crash, not even two minutes into the first lap of the men’s pro race.

My friend, Average Joe, wrote some pretty cool words on his blog today. I shared it on our facebook this morning, but I felt that everybody should see it up here on the front page.  It’s a great story and great inspiration to take us into the weekend. In 1995 my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and in [...]
