Borrowed Tires, One Stud Too Many, and a Man Made of Lego So awesome. When is the best time to change your tires before a race? I’m not sure, but I don’t think it’s at 10:30 the night before. Nonetheless, there I was in a frigid garage, trying to keep my heart rate down so … Continue reading 84. Albion Fatbike Festival
The 2018 Fat Turkey: Saturday, December 15, 2018 Tracy Roth hits the trails--and the keyboard--once again for a ripping race review of the 2018 Substance Projects Fat Turkey, presented by Cannondale. Tracy is wickedly cool. She's fearless, boss, and never hesitates to bring it. I'm a jerk. She was hoping to see me last year … Continue reading FOTC: Tracy Roth Gobbles the Fat Turkey
What. A. Season. Twenty-8-Teen. My first DNS, my second DNS (both races out of my control), and my first DNF (also out of my control). But still, ugh.

The Cannondale Scalpel: One Heck of a Boss Bike Ognjen Sokolovic is a legend. Even though we're friends on Facebook, and part of the same cycling club, and we ride in many of the same races, he literally rides in a different circle from me (and circles AROUND me). Dude is mean and fast. He's … Continue reading FOTC: Ognjen Sokolovic Reviews the Cannondale Scalpel WC Hi-Mod
A Love Letter to Troy Lee Designs Dear Mr. Lee, Thank you for saving me. Seriously. I'm sure you hear this often, but 'strue. I am convinced that my new A1 (with MIPS, natch) prevented me from a catastrophic injury at the Sausage Suit ITT MTB race. I wrote a blog about the race, but I … Continue reading 82. Dear Troy Lee…
