From: Virgil M.F. Rufus Hey BJ, My friend Steve Boemke puts this on every year and it is kind of cool. This year it is to raise money for a kid battling Leukemia. Link: archive.constantcontact.com. Anything you guys can do would be greatly appreciated. Even if you just come out and pedal. I can’t make [...]

I got an email this morning (a forwarded forward, actually) regarding this past weekend’s El Tour de Tucson. For those of you that have followed the site, you know I’m a big fan of the stories in the middle of the pack. Or, in some cases, as I was often there myself, the story at [...]

It had been three or four days of very light riding and ‘off bike’ time for me due to an incredible knee pain and getting over a nasty cold that my friend brought back from Mexico City.  I needed a good day on the bike, so I cruised down to SoDope to the bowels of [...]

Let me just start this off with this: Yeungling will not sell out.  Billy Penn would be proud.  Have a Yeungling story to share?  Natty pub radio does. This Yeungling moment is brought to you by National Public Radio: Story Here. Now, reporters do some amazing work in a world where instability is the norm. [...]

i hit the swerves today for 2.5 hours, or in euro time, 10 kilodays.  it was a small group, just a camera and a kona and a dickwad you’ve come to know as shankhock. i treasured every single kineto-slide, barkwipe, jog-ram, slab-blaster, lever-chint, and sparkle whip.  there were about 30 of each.  it was grandeur, [...]

Lets kick this off with an email: From: Andy I’m pretty sure DC will have a gigantic hard-on for this one.  It looks awesome. By the way, DK and I are planning on coming to the fun-fest this weekend.  We should meet up and drink beer.  I don’t have any details yet, but the “run [...]

Living in the city has taught me one thing: If you want it right, go to the pros.  Go to a specialist. It may in fact be the only option sometimes in the Urban landscape. You want dog food?  Go to a dog food store.  You need shoes repaired?  There are many to choose from. [...]

Yeah, so where have I been? I wrote up a fine post last week, and the red screen of death took it away from me. So I let it die, and here I am to write something that’s (hopefully) more interesting than the last time I posted. As with most of my attempts at ‘training’ [...]

When I meet people from the DC family out on the trail, the one question I get the most is “How do you know Big Jonny and how did you end up writing for the site?”. I am reminded of this story every year around this time, and today seems like the best day to share it. I always [...]

This weekend rediscovered the joys of being off the bike, and Sunday was perfect.  I have since Saturday been deep in the finer side of maintenance camp. I’m at it with two bikes on the stand.  One is a 54cm Tange rig that will utilize some idle road parts and go on the market.  And, [...]

drinking, riding, texting. (cause i don’t give a fuck about laws, so just chill. . . til the next episode.)

The past seven days have been a blur of mountain biking, driving, and trying to look busy at work. My nerves are shot, my knees are sore, and I am consuming way more coffee than any human ever should. I guess that means it was a good road trip. The plan was to get six [...]
