Well, it doesn’t happen very often, but I went down last night.

5 of us (KB, Green Socks, Little Erin, Ryan and myself) went up Ricks and came down Steels yesterday. The climb up was great except that last mile of straight up. I confess I used the granny gear, which in my case means I was walking. Ryan was in great form and mountain goated his way to the top. The mosquitoes were out in serious hordes as well and left me looking a bit like pin cushion. They made it nigh impossible to stop and take a rest. (more…)

The Wednesday ride went off without a hitch yesterday. We had a nice jaunt around the Mud Flats loop up right hand fork canyon. It was a little warm climbing up Willow Creek but once on top things started to mellow out for us. The trail was in the best shape I have ever seen it, but still not in excellent shape. Any of you who have done this trail won’t be surprised to hear that there still are parts that are destroyed from the cows. (more…)

Ok, it’s going down and this is how it’s gonna happen. This Friday 9 p.m. at the Merlin Olsen park’s basketball court. Bring a mallet, a pedal-able two-wheeled love machine, and your biggest smile.

Need I say more?

Well, things went down exactly the way I thought they would.

We met at 5:30ish at the shop and carpooled down to Brigham City to the start line. We found Bill (the rider from Ogden) when we noticed a fixie leaning up against the barriers with an enormous gear (53 X 13). The count down began and most of the team was in the bathroom so we headed out a bit after the bulk of the riders. (more…)

This just in from Speedy…

I am 2 weeks away from the MS 150 and I need your help!

Help me raise money for the National MS Society as I ride in the MS 150 in 2 weeks.

Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with MS. Almost 4 years ago I became one of those people. We can use your help and that’s why I’m asking you to support my fund raising efforts with a tax-deductible donation. No amount is too small, 5 dollars, 10 dollars, anything helps us in this battle. (more…)

Due to certain misunderstandings, I’m posting this so that everyone knows. Sunday rides will be at 2 p.m. unless otherwise posted prior to Saturday evening. I will also make sure that what type of ride we are doing is posted so you don’t show up to a road ride rocking the knobbies. Just a little info that may be useful.

Sorry Ike, we would have loved your company…

Here’s the lowdown. Tomorrow @ Sunrise Cyclery @ 10 a.m. for the ride of your life. We plan on busting out a 3-4 hour ride to prepare for the century next week.

Be there.

Wow…

It’s been a seriously long 4 weeks of summer school, but now that is all over and I can dedicate all my time to my personal projects which consist of writing and riding. So you all will be getting everything you need from me. (more…)

We have had a slight change to our group ride schedule. Due to pressure from certain customers and the tradition we set last year, our mountain rides have been moved back to Wednesday. This means we will do a rode ride on Monday instead. You can check out the Sunrise Cyclery Rides and Event page for more details.

Thanks,

It’s been a while, and so what like all of you really need to be reading the bull shit I have to write any ways. You should be out riding your bikes instead, but here is a little something to tide you over for a while.

Sunday I did get out on the fixie. I rocked the Little Pyranees to Black Smith Fork Canyon. It was a beautiful day and there were lots of other riders out enjoying the day. I went out by myself seeing no one else showed up, but that is just fine with me. The silence of my drive train and the absence of chatter made it possible for me to see some pretty cool stuff. On my way to Mendon, I saw about a half dozen Killdeer and most excitingly I saw a Golden Eagle dive down and pounce on its prey right off to the side of the road as I passed. (more…)
