This is how I feel: Completely and utterly exhusted to the bone. Sometimes I can travel and come back to real life just fine, like nothing happened, like I never went anywhere. And sometimes I travel and come home and pretend like I’m just fine. Then, it just creeps up on you. That heavy-lidded feeling [...]
Chased back indoors
Yeah, those two days of January thaw were awesome, but what a tease. I remember January thaw from my halcyon college years as an annual sun-soaked three days of blissful warmth. Running around campus in shorts and t-shirts, soaking in the rays. Now I’m old and bitter, and January thaw brings us 24 hours of [...]
One9 update
so the longer stem is on there, and it’s angled down. and in my non-expert opinion on terrain that hardly qualifies me to evaluate anything — i couldn’t tell the difference. in other words, it didn’t feel any longer. Oh well, our trip to AZ is next week and so I guess I’ll work it [...]
Well, I spent most of this week in Las Vegas for work. And most of this week it spent raining, while i was in Vegas. somewhat ironic. I did see the inside of the resort gym and made friends with the treadmill and their spin bike. Finally home. Friday I was fried from the travel, [...]

Southern Weekend
Our BikeCX / Bike29 is a sponsor of this 55 mile endurance cross race called the Southern Cross in Dahlonega, Georgia. It just so happened that I had to fly down to Atlanta for a work meeting immediately before Southern Cross and a million things perfectly aligned themselves to make me able to go to [...]
Dodging Plows
I have a few general rules when it comes to winter riding. 1 – only ride outside if it’s in the mid twenties or warmer. 2 – avoid riding in snowstorms, stay out of the way of the plows. Today I woke up and it was warm enough, but we’d received four inches of snow [...]
