Man, it was cold today. The Pavilion Sign at Mills Park advertised 24 degrees F when I passed by on the morning commute. Although with no winds, it wasn’t all that bad. Riding in 24 degrees gives me confidence that it won’t be that bad commuting when the snow starts to fall. I still have [...]

Sorry in advance to all foodies that may have gotten here looking for the latest in oviparous food processing, but this review is for the Egg Beater pedals from Crank Brothers. My introduction to clipless pedals began with Shimanos. They were set to a medium tension, and I fell down a lot learning how to [...]

On Sunday, Kristy, Brent, and I rode out to the Centennial Trailhead (located behind the ball fields at Centennial Park) for some cold weather singletrack. After hooking up with the rest of the gang, we started the rocky ascent up into the deserty highlands above Carson City’s east side. This place was already pretty barren, [...]

There was no riding for me on Thanksgiving; however, I did witness some pretty amazing sprints and feats of endurance at the dinner table… I finished off my riding week on Wednesday with an extended lunch time ride, squeezing in two great trails into one ride. The temperatures plummeted this week making for some pretty [...]

It was almost a year ago that I ran into the FBC crew while riding in the Pine Nut Mountain Range in Gardnerville, NV. It was a beautiful fall day, and as I was rounding a corner I came upon an unconscious rider, her right leg twitching. I thought she was dead. The rider turned [...]
