Jesse recently bent his rear axle, so while his bike was down, I seized the opportunity to push single speeding on him. I lent him my On One Inbred, a rigid (no suspension) steel framed single speed with 32×16 gearing.
Until someone has given single speed mountain biking a shot, you may get comments from them […]

Most of the time, Halloween is the turning point for the nice weather, but we’re in the middle of a warm streak with temperatures in the 60’s every day at ride time. It’s just about perfect in shorts and a short sleeve jersey!

Yesterday was one of those magical mountain bike days. […]

We had an incident on yesterday’s lunch ride, and it got me thinking that I should talk a little about group trail riding etiquette.
Tom was riding sweep, and had a crash in an off camber, sandy dip. It also pinch flatted his rear tube. Tom was OK other than being a little dirty […]

This recent weather system came as a bit of a shock to the system. I had to pull out gear that I hadn’t touched since last winter. And even though I don’t mind riding in the cold, I couldn’t help but feel crushed that winter was upon us. Didn’t we just get […]

For the first time in a long time (weeks, months?) we got some rain this weekend! The trails in Ash Canyon were starting to feel like you were riding on the beach. I didn’t get up on the trails immediately following the rain, and rode for the first time on Monday. Wow! […]

The Fall riding has just been wonderful! Lunch time temperatures are very mild in the 70 degree range. It’s almost even a little chilly upon departure, but feels perfect once you start generating some heat. It sure makes the hills more fun when you’re not close to heat stroke!

Hooray! We’ve finally come out of last week’s doldrums. Scorching hot sun, with zero air movement was the norm last week, and the oppressive aestival heat made riding tough. Water bottles were as hot as tea water by the end of the lunch rides! Commutes home from work were done in […]

There was a little confusion on the start time for this event, but in the end I think it worked out well for everyone. The bus didn’t arrive until after 5pm, but from 3pm to 5pm would’ve been too hot to be enjoyable anyhow. I towed the bike trailer full of Muscle Powered […]

I enjoy reading old books to see what was on people’s minds back then. Often times, you’ll find that people were thinking about the same things, with only the superficial details being different. One thing that hasn’t changed is the need to get outdoors. I just don’t feel right without it, and […]

Yesterday I passed on the mountain ride, and had lunch with Bob, Keith, and Reno Media Mogul Ryan Jerz at the new Genghis Asian Fusion on north Carson Street. Great restaurant if you haven’t been! Ryan and I enjoyed giant bowls of lemon grass pho, and the brothers got something off the Chinese […]
