With all this talk of doping lately, it makes we want to drink.  Good thing I just got some fine goodies in the mail to help me with this task.  Cory over at Dank Bags was kind enough to hook me up with some fresh coozies done up in a proper DC style.  I sent [...]

The smell of leaves combined with sunshine and cool air is a perfect day for a great ride. Lake Washington loop – recommended but you should have a guide.  There are lots of places where there’s nothing to indicate where the next section of bike path is.  This part is a gorgeous wetland – too [...]

From: Dan H. Subject: cross I stopped during lap two of the local ‘cross race to drink some beer. Eric, the guy just behind me, stopped as well to share. Just letting you know some of the people in the southeast get it.

Seven of us gathered at the house of a man I had never met.  My buddy Andy had told me that there would be a night ride leaving at 830.  Once the crew was assembled, pre-ride beers were polished off and tossed into the recycling bin.  Six of us lacked gears, one of us was [...]

Both cities have more than ten bicycle shops. Both have a sharp business dude importing European bikes and selling them for a huge markup. Portland has more framebuilders; and therefore has more out of work framebuilders – due to Portland’s proximity to Oregon. Seattle has nuances that keep it interesting, and so does Portland, but [...]

This should just about wrap up my take on Interbike 2010. Give it a read, then we can get back to shit-talking dopers, riding, and drinking. By the time Thursday rolled around, I really had nothing else to do. My show was pretty much over as soon as I took a drink with Eddy. The experience was [...]

I made it home. Somehow. This is the last picture on my camera from this past week. It is from the All Hail The Black Market /Soulcraft party. I take back anything I might have said about kids from Cali not knowing how to party. These guys are top notch. I took a lot of pictures and [...]

As my friends and ‘constituents’ make the sojourn to the Nevada desert, I am sadly at home missing out on the fun that is Interbike. I decided not to go this year, and I am sad for that decision, but I figured since I’m heading to Denver this weekend, one long distance trip is plenty [...]

Got this gem in the inbox from my buddy Bergy down in Victor, ID: Yo Andrew, What up dude?  Find your fixie girl yet? Thanks for help with the PR. www.moosecross.com October 2+3 I’ll know in a day or two for sure, but this year we are hoping to re-route part of the course around [...]

So lets forget all the bullshit about Interbike going back to Cali. We still have one year left in Sin City and the festivities start for me this Sunday when I post up for the afternoon at Rehab. It seems like a fine way to kick off 4 days of bike related activity. Now my question [...]

Last week I got a call from Scandinavian Jesus talking some nonsense about riding in a 100 mile mountain bike race that was going to be all on fire roads. I wished him luck and then went about the rest of my day.  He waited until later in that evening, after I already had a few adult beverages, and asked [...]
