Over the past couple of weeks, my back has been feeling great. I am not getting any pain at home and I am able to hit the road and trail when I have time. Life is good on the road back to the bike during my recovery. However, I find myself in a place in [...]
On October 2, 2011, some friends of mine and I headed up to Pisgah National Forest for a special ride. My wife was scheduled to have our first baby that coming Tuesday, so this was a chance to get out for one last weekend before our son came. The weather was perfect, the trails were [...]
I came across this info graphic about cars and bikes this morning that I thought was really valuable. It is…by far…one of the best illustrations I have seen to date on driver/road biker relations. I can not begin to tell you how many rides I have been on where a road biker will yell, scream, [...]
There is something that happens within the cycling community that no one else understands. Thanks to modern technology and Facebook, not only can we know with deadly accuracy what you are doing on a daily basis, but we are now made aware of when you are “off the bike” as the news hits the timeline. [...]

Injury, sickness and life. 3 things that get in the way of our riding and sometimes set us back a couple of pegs in our endurance. It is just the way things go in our sport and it is not if…it is when. Over the past couple of weeks, our riding group has seen its [...]
The time every rider looks forward to during the winter is finally here…daylight savings time. The beginning of the peak riding season is upon us as the daylight hours get longer, the snow melts and flowers start to bloom. Finally, we are able to start up our regular weekday rides without lights thanks to the [...]
We all know the joys of mountain biking. Heading down the unbeaten tracks, no motor traffic for miles, no exhaust fumes to deal with, superb views and a lot of camaraderie. Wonderful – especially in the summer months! In the winter months the challenge just gets harder and a lot muddier but not any less fun. [...]
This past weekend was a brutal one. With multiple weeks in succession of being out of town, I was itching for a ride in the worst way so there wasn’t anything that was going to keep me off the bike on Saturday and Sunday if I could help it. Sometimes you just need rides and [...]
As the saying goes, “the couple that plays together, stays together” and for those of us that are obsessed with all things cycling, we can find that the time to play together can become a scarce commodity as we juggle the balance between work, family and riding. Before we got married, my wife had very [...]
As we enter the colder months in the northern hemisphere, the decreased daylight hours can take a heavy toll on our riding fitness as the available time to ride decreases drastically. Gone are the days of regular weekday rides in favor of darkness as you head home on your daily commute. When the days start [...]
It’s a story that has been told a thousand times. As we gear up for charity rides, group rides and spins out on our favorite stretch of land, we begin to size up the riders around us to figure out which wheel we want to grab onto to and who we need to watch out [...]
