fears, tears, beers, mud, beer, bikes, shred, and beer, Ely, NV

Ely was good to Team Bacon Strip yet again… More or less. The drive out was spectacular!

I don’t know what that means, but that was the subject line of an email I just got. Thought I’d share a pic of The Vulture’s new frame: Wade rode a lap with me @ 24 hours in the old pueblo. What a funny dude. We chatted about bikes, and riding, and people, and... »

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

At this time of year, and especially on a year like this, you see the skies clear, the snow get dirty and melt away, and you strip down to your shirtsleves for mud free dirt riding on Peavine, it’s hard not to think about how the world is changing. Sure, we have a young... »
