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 […]

First Reveal – Project Fargo Ti

Still a work in progress and I still need to remove the brakes but here is the first reveal of the direction I went with the project. Took this late last night. Pretty stoked to finish this week. Few final tweaks as well as a few final component selection and it is complete. Only took […]

My new 2013 Salsa Fargo Ti

I’ve been asked a few times about my new Salsa Fargo Ti bike. Now that the Salsa Cycles website is up, I can share some info on my favorite ride. For those of you reading this that know me well, you all know how much I love the Fargo. If there ever was a bike […]

My new Salsa Warbird – Build and Spec

Before I get started here, you need to know that I work for Salsa Cycles. This frameset is a prototype frameset that was brought in for development purposes. I did not pay for this frameset and one day I will return it to Salsa Cycles. It is very close to final build specifications, but I’m […]

Morning Gravel

Last Friday I wrote about The Important Stuff. My family is number one. You know what number two is? Me. Well…I haven’t been taking good enough care of myself and I am on a mission to fix that. In fact, I have set some personal goals. One of those is to ride a bit more […]

Up North – Winter 2012

A little over a year ago, some friends and I went up to northern Minnesota for a little fatbike trip. Upon returning, I said I wanted to back with more folks around the same time the following year and a plan was hatched. The plan was to head to Minnesota’s North Shore and ride fatbikes […]

Up North – Random Moments

Other than a photo for Friday, today is my last post writing about up north. It was a great time with great people. While the primary reason for this entire trip was to ride fatbikes, we also took time to hike and explore and the beautiful surroundings we were in. It isn’t always just about […]

Up North – Ride #2

When I set this fatbike vacation and trip up, I had a specific goal, or shall I say experience, in mind. That being provide a big, big day of riding, a trip up to Carlton Peak & Tofte Peak, a trailside cook out and a ride back to our base camp cabin. I wanted to […]

Up North – Ride #1

We arrived in Duluth, MN around noon at the meeting place, the Tot Lot on Canal Park road. Eki was there already as was Ben. After some brief intros Farrow showed as well. I was excited to ride the beach but given the 12+ inches of fresh snow on the ground, we didn’t really know […]

Up North – Ride #3

I finally am getting my images and thoughts processed from this past week up north riding fatbikes (Salsa Mukluks) with friends. It was an incredible time. I usually do recaps and stories in chronological order, but this time I’m just doing them as they come to mind. I’m starting with ride #3 simply because it […]

A hard look back

Rest stop at north woods shelter Last night I finally processed all my images from the past week of riding fatbikes with friends in northern MN. You know what, I am mostly disappointed with my pictures. Sure I got a few really good ones, and one so good I don’t know what to do with […]
