Friday Ride Stoke

Caught the sunrise this AM. Sweet morning. Going to be a great day.

Fatbike ramblings

As I head out to Intebike I leave you all with a sort of brain dump of fatbike ramblings that have been going on in my head. No doubt will I see fatbikes everywhere at this year’s show. I mean EVERYWHERE. Wow. Eurobike had 30+ suppliers showing a fatbike of some sort. But….I don’t really […]

Ride Stoke

Sometimes pictures say more than words. This picture may be my personal favorite shot of the year and I just want to share it. Get out and enjoy your weekend.

A lotta Friday Ride Stoke

My friend John told me last night that he needed a little Friday Ride Stoke to kick this coming week off. So….Given I am in the mountains today I figured I’d share more than one ride stoke from Utah. How about a lotta Friday Ride Stoke? I took these images over the last couple of […]

Brap!! The new old whip

Friday Ride Stoke – 1 mile

I am back today with a Friday Ride Stoke entry. I’ve been riding quite a bit more and while I may not have something super for every Friday, I certainly plan to post Friday Ride Stokes when I do. Today is one of my favorites. I call it 1-Mile. I have ridden past this spot countless […]

My Ultimate Salsa Fargo Project – Big Blue

Ok…I’ve been working on this project for over a year. After many road blocks and u-turns, it is complete. I am finally spilling the beans on my custom painted Salsa Fargo Titanium adventure bike. With that, I introduce you to Big Blue. Before I get too far, I want to put out a disclaimer in […]

My All-City – Moving on

Before I get into today’s topic of moving on, I want to say thanks to all of you for your kind words about my return to blogging. For anyone that has blogged, I bet at one point they ask the question “Is it worth it?” or “Does anyone really read this stuff?” This past week […]

Friday Ride Stoke

One more picture from California. This is at dusk outside of Idylwild, California. We started heading out at dusk. This shot is just below the Speed of Light Deflector. Love the color and depth in the sky. Riding sweet singletrack doesn’t hurt either! Have a great one. I’ll be back next week with more from […]

Friday Ride Stoke

Today’s message is simple. Go find that road that you haven’t been on and you don’t know where it leads. Find out where it goes. Learn something new. Have a great day and weekend folks.

Random Thoughts on Gear

I spent the weekend at home with the kids and preparing for an upcoming bikepacking vacation. Whenever I am prepping for another trip, I spend quite a bit of time thinking about gear. Today you get some ramblings in no particular order. My bike – In reviewing this trip, I wrestled with what bike to […]

Friday Ride Stoke

Today’s ride stoke comes from a not so little, fall gravel ride my friend Ben Witt and I had a few weeks back. It was a glorious fall day and we headed out in the early morning with a plan to return home sometime later that afternoon. On the roll out we caught some incredible […]

A little Warbird in the morning

It’s rare that I can get out on Sunday morning but today I did just that. Grabbed my gear and hit the country for a mostly gravel route with paved connectors. Didn’t see too many folks out and about this morning but there were plenty of farmers out harvesting crops. Really was a gift being […]

All In – My FatXC Bike

This past summer I wrote about committing to riding a fatbike as my mountain bike. Back then, I was riding a prototype Salsa Beargrease set up fully rigid. Then while in Utah in July, I rode my friend and coworkers Salsa Mukluk with a custom, modified Cannondale Lefty. I wrote about it here, it was […]

Super quick one as I am still finishing up a few projects. It’s my wife’s birthday too! Going to be a great day. Today’s ride stoke comes from the inland coast of Japan on the Noto Peninsula. Here my friends Super Biker, Toshi and K-Mac cross a bridge in the rain and heavy fog while […]
