Nobody Listens Anyway

I have an embarrassing secret. I love cycling (not the embarassing secret unless you count running around in skin tight shorts as embarassing). No, the big secret is that when I am all alone on the bike I can’t help but feel the desire to chase down every other cyclist on the road. [...]

With all the moving around and general craziness at work I haven’t been able to ride to work as much. I finally managed to ride in again. Regardless of whatever else happens today is a good day.

One of my favorite rides is Blacksmith Fork Canyon. If I leave from my house the loop is a little bit more than 40 miles most of which is in the canyon. During the summer it is a little bit cooler than the rest of the valley and the scenery is always beautiful. [...]

I wasn’t going to go for a long ride so I didn’t eat lunch and only put a couple of granola bars in my pockets. Then I called Joel and said let’s go for a ride. He was good with the idea so we headed towards Black Smith Fork Canyon. This is [...]

After a year of waiting. After months of deliberating size, components and Project One or stock I walked into the shop this morning and put my money down on a Madone 6.9. Yesterday by total chance I was in Ogden and so was [...]

I have waited a year now to buy the perfect bike. For a while I was tempted to go with the 5.2, but why be responsible when you can spend an insane amount of money to shave a pound off your bike? This morning I went to Thanksgiving Point to an Apple Educator [...]

I can’t ever seem to remember Brent Carpenter’s name which is probably rude, but I have heard people here in Logan refer to him as happy, smiley guy. Almost any day of the week he can be seen riding his bike around town. He has a horn on it that he honks and [...]
