Nightrides and Powderkeg sighting
Last week was glorious here in MN. The weather broke again and this sudden change for the better coincided with a short break from my kids’ evening soccer regimen. This gave me the opportunity for some much needed gravel riding. With a little time and with a little encouragement I hit up a ride out…

One Two Three
Spring broke early here in MN. Rather than writing & reading I’ve been riding and shooting. It was quite amazing to be out and about without snow in mid March. I say that knowing the flip side that our mother earth will need moisture early this year or it will be a dull and waterless…

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…
