I guess I’m lazy

I started writing that last post over a week ago. Whatever…
To report on Mooseknuckler News:
This past Saturday we got out and signed the Church Rocks loop and parts of the Prospector and Grapevine. There were six of us, which was probably a few too many. We left two at the Grapevine trailhead where they picked [...]

An Update of Sorts

First matter of outstanding news that everyone must know.
Sir Pratt and his wife have returned from that far distant island in the Caribean, Puerto Rico. They graced the Alliance headquarters with their presence last night. Which in retrospect, was probably a good thing seeing that everyone else that was in the headquarters was there to [...]

Ride Report, Double Feature

Two Days off, two days riding.
Sworks SJ SS HT on Church Rocks…
Yesterday I grabbed the new bike and headed out to the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. I spent the entire morning watching/helping my dad move huge rocks and plants and gravel and shit with the Bobcat. All the stuff we moved had to go to [...]

A couple of days off

Well, I’ve been keeping it under my hat. Mostly because you wouldn’t believe me if I told you…
All you Knucklers know that I’ve been waiting for what seems like an eternity to get a certain frame that has been almost unattainable in any form. It arrived last week, on Thursday, if memory serves. I rode [...]

Fortunately the only thing that woke me up this morning at gun point was [...]

Yad…a…ya…d…a

I report back that I powered my own sorry ass to work this morning and it felt great.
My current bicycle situation is the following, I have lots of bikes. My quiver has grown significantly in the past month or so. The Niner is still kicking and will until SBC decides they want to send me [...]

Atop the Mesa: Sidewinder Trail(Barrel Roll: SCRR)

Atop this mesa, the machinations of man are in sight; far, far away—down below.  One would think this location is hardly teeming with life…  Look again, it is all around you.  The dry shrubs carpeting the desert floor are indeed alive.  Never let the color this area fool you.  The soil, yes it too, is [...]

The gooooods

I told you all yesterday that some good things were in store for the area. Mr. Gurr confirmed my suspicions on a couple of these things today. So without any further ado, this is what is coming up…
First up, the Red Rock Rampage will be happening March 6th. This is a local favorite and a [...]
