Old Pueblo Camp
Well we had to wait for a giant RV to get towed out of a rut, but we got a nice spot near the trail at the edge of 24 hour town right where the trail comes into town. John and I had a decent drive out with a stop for shredding, as usual, @... »
24 Hours in The Old Pueblo
Well our 4 man contingent has been whittled down to two. This will be my third year, LowCO2’s 2nd and Team Bacon Strip’s 4th or 5th showing straight. (Japhy Rider will have to verify that). As LowCO2 and I roll south to Arizona today, take a look over here at this Ebay Auction for an... »
Leadville 2010 Applications Open
The Leadville folks have put up the applications on their website: www.leadvilletrail100.com You have to apply before Jan 31, 2010 and they’ll tell you by Feb 8. This one’s going to get a lot of apps after that movie, but I’d still like to go do a few more. Gotta get that 1000 mile buckle. Like Unlike »
fantastic Fall
watching the movie about the Leadville Trail 100 last night was pretty cool. did it make me want to give it a go, again? maybe… it definitely reminded me of all the great people we’ve raced with, who’ve volunteered at and organized those races, and who’ve become such good friends along... »
Tour de Cul de Sac 2009
It was an incredible race. Stubbie got the fastest time in the time trial, but was beaten in the demolition derby. All in all TBS did really well, with Stubbie, Aaron and Bustigator in the finals. Tennile won the pink jerzy, and Griz was the only one to crash going over the jump backwards.... »
Fear and Loathing in Cool
“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” The late Hunter S. Thompson said that about his foray into Gonzo Journalism. I appreciate his insight into things and before the 50 mile race in Cool I typed up another of his great quotes: “Never turn your back on fear. It should always be... »
Reno Galena Fest
This looks like a great new race for us! Looks like the races go up the old Mt. Rose Highway through Sky Tavern. I know TheRestlessApe is gonna hit it. I’m not super into the whole suffer up a dirt road thing. LowCO2 will likely destroy it as well. See you there! What: Mountain Bike... »

Race Across The Sky
@lowCO2 just pointed this out on Twitter: Looks like some great production quality! Almost as good as this. Like Unlike »
Sierra 100 Pre-ride and more
I saw this sign out on the route of the Sierra 100 and thought it was an appropriate sentiment. Even just the “Not Recommended” part — those are words to live by. At least, if you ride on past all signs that say “Not Recommended.” Never mind what is not recommended, just keep going. I... »
