Greetings from a strip mall. That’s right, I landed safely and securely in Colorado Springs, and since the interwebs company can’t seem to get their shite together, I am without a home internet connection for the time being. I am therefore at the whim of the Starbucks internet connection and the mercy of the very [...]

After 10 days of partying and a bunch of time sitting still in airplanes, I made it back home to the desert a shattered shell of a man. To use a new term I picked up from my Irish brothers ”I’m in pieces.” I used that idle time on the plane to recover and to start going through [...]

My man Snake sent me a photo earlier this summer while I was studying for the bar exam with this text: Chad says you built these wheels for him over 10 years ago. Yep. His first set of tubs. FIR rims on White Industry hubs. Them shits is baller. I’ve turned a wrench or two [...]

We finally made it to Limerick, Ireland for Singlespeed Worlds. After a less than amazing travel experience, Scandinavian Jesus and myself put tires to ground  in Ireland today. Here is a quick rundown of everything we learned in the past 36 hours of travel. Lesson 1: Having a bike that doesn’t fit into a suitcase sucks [...]

The last time I up and left Flagstaff “For Good” was in 2008. During my last night in town, this happened thanks to THE SHINDAGGERS. And: Sometime next week, I will be leaving Flagstaff “FOR GOOD” again to head to Colorado Springs. That means my life is currently in boxes and my bikes are for [...]

It all started out rather simple, Caveman was going to be shooting photos at Leadville, Dirty bought himself a plane ticket to join in the fun and cheer on Snake.  With the next semester of school approaching I figured that this would be my last weekend to get rowdy and opted to tag along for [...]

At the award ceremony this morning in Leadville, our boy Snake got himself a new buckle. In a word: Impressive. It looks like the hood off a Chevy pickup. Makes the sub-nine buckle look puny by comparison. And, I’d hate to see that thing next to my two sub-twelve buckles. It’d make ‘em look like [...]

I got this in February. Really. It was buried in a draft folder for months. Hey, I’ve had a busy summer! I’ll get it cleaned up, I promise. Right after I sort out the garage. Which is an absolute train wreck. I digress… Thought you’d enjoy the billboard that went up across NZ yesterday. It’s [...]

Rolls or Regal, the whole lot of ‘em. San Marco across the board. Back when a saddle was warm in the winter and shady in the summer. Class. Image source: http://gibier3000.tumblr.com/post/7188224566/panasonic-racing-team.

Stupid is as stupid does. Or, something anyway. Ya’ll know the drill, get up and get at it. Nothing feels quite as right as the morning sun coming up as you eat miles. Nothing in this life comes easy. Well, nothing worth doing anyway. Being a father is work, being a husband is work, being [...]
