Back in my college days I had a roommate that had a lot of IF bikes. All steel, all campy, and all with custom paint jobs. We didn’t dare touch them or even think about riding them. But this roommate also liked Guinness beer, a whole heck of a lot. Whenever he would get all tanked on that [...]

I had me a busy weekend here in Fort Collins, full of bike rides and going away parties.  With my advisor’s blessing I left school early on Friday to get my shit together and meet the CSU Cycling gang for a mountain bike ride.  The weather was perfect and spirits were high as we began [...]

Well, it’s January, which means it’s time for my yearly existential crisis. This existential crisis means I recently applied for a job in a bike shop. Looks like I’m going to get it, too. I won’t whine about it, I promise, but I want you all to know that I am doing this under duress. [...]

There comes the time in all of our lives when we need to make the decision: to #occupybikeseat or not. Being a reader of this site, you’d think it’s an easy question right? WRONG! There is a bitch in all of us and today I feel like slappin’ a bitch and setting things right. This [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

I go by Cupcake and I like to party. In my past life, I was the German poet famous for writing the Nibelungenlied. I like to ponder the wonders of the world and Christopher Hitchens is a hero of mine. RIP. I met Dirty at a dope bike race, the Whiskey 50. Man that was good [...]

This should just about wrap up most of the content from my fatbike trip down to Mexico. Although I have been known to take off for days on end on a pretty regular basis this trip was different in a few ways. In 15 years of doing this, I had never toured with another person, [...]

Here is a little snippet of my fatbike trip down in Mexico. We were fortuante enough to have a real deal photographer on this trip and he keeps blowing our minds with the images he made. I asked Devon to put together 10 of his favorite images from the trip with some captions for all of you [...]

We get a ton of great emails from you guys every day and I make sure to read every single one.  This week, one in particular took the cake. It was just a picture of a piece of paper and note that said “put this in a mailbox tonight”.  I think this is 100%  pure [...]

Yep. First one. Yesterday afternoon. Cell phone pic on the quick. Came out reasonable under the circumstances. She is stoked. And so am I. Joe handles the biz like a whiz. Push it forward. A very Happy Holidaze to each and every one of you.
