Nobody Listens Anyway

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 [...]

I brought my bike home from the shop and in spite of the fact that everyone was eating dinner by the time I got home I gave in and went for a ride. You can’t just bring it home and let it sit. Here’s the pictures.

My new bike shows up today so what happens?

However, you shouldn’t ride like them because you can’t. Any pro team has [...]

I just got a notification about the status of Trek’s Project One. Even if there are a few kinks left to work out and even though the pricing isn’t on the site just yet I am thrilled that Trek decided to let us have a look at what they are planning. Praise to [...]
