What a Trip…Seriously!

Hey everybody, thanks for coming back for a visit. It’s appreciated. Hunker down and get comfy, this is quite the story, and there are some amazing photos…a lot of ’em. Enjoy. OK, so I will jump right in. My friends Dave and Daniel and I started planning a camping/mountain biking trip about 5 months ago. […]

Well, Now What Am I Supposed To Do?

Well, shit. Seriously, holy shitha. (said like Belushi in Animal House) you know, when they accidentally killed the Dean’s horse. ‘Member? It happened. I would’ve never, in my wildest dreams, thought that it’d happen to me, but it did. Actually, hold on…if I could be honest for a sec….in the back of my head, […]

“Can’t We All Just Get Along?”- R. King

All right, here’s the deal…and you’re probably not going to like it. You know what, I know you won’t, I guarantee it. But just so you know ahead o’ time, I’m NOT sorry about it. I’m not. I think we really need to bust this dialog wide open. So, are you ready? Are you […]

…But this One Goes To Eleven…

So funny, right? That iconic phrase that Nigel Tufnel spews to Rob Reiner’s character, Marty DiBergi during an interview about his custom Marshall amp. Remember? Nigel is so proud of the fact that every other musician’s amp only goes to “10” while his have that extra something, that little push and go to “11”…You know […]

Is It Always About the Bike? (#2)

Hey everybody! Hope you all are having a great first part of 2017. I know I am! I thought maybe as a little goal for this new year, I would try to get a post done every month…how does that sound? I mean, don’t hold me to it but I will try. OK, the pressure […]

Let’s Talk Coffee, Bikes and Slowing Down…No Big Whoop.

I’m all verklempt. Well, here we are. The first blog post of the new year. Exciting! And whoa, what a shit show of a year 2016 ended up being. I mean, seriously! But I won’t get in to that right now…or ever, not here at least. This is a place to discuss bicycles…the thoughts, memories, […]

29″ + 3.0″ = fun²

Hi, again. So I did it. I kinda, well…not really kinda, I just did it, OK? I gave in to a market trend. I was going to say that it’s not really a trend to kind of save me from eating crow, but it really is. Although, in my defense, I think it has way […]

Well, Hello My Friends…

Well, here we are again with another blog post. I really should be doing this way more often. Just sayin’. Plus I like it…it’s fun. OK, cue one of the following tunes…Back in The Saddle (Areosmith), Back in Black (AC/DC) or Back in The USSR (The Beatles)…I’m sure there are more songs with this theme, […]
