High Cascades 100

Tuesdays with Dirty: Tour Memories and a Kalimotxo Haze
Today’s stage of the Tour is very near and dear to my heart. Two years ago I was pedaling all over those same roads having one Drunkcyclist moment after another. I was telling some of the stories from my trip the other night and I thought that I might share one with you guys. It was over a week into my trip [...]
I like to ride my bike.
Here’s a post I dont think I’ve seen up here in a while. I went on a mountain bike ride yesterday, it was glorious, I drank a couple beers afterwords, they were glorious, I enjoyed some good conversation during the ride, that was glorious, and if I had the money I would have hit up [...]
