Echo, Oregon. A small town that opens it’s arms once a year to the first mountain bike race of the season. The third annual Echo Red to Red was held and saw 435 racers showed up to race. Matt and I raced the long course and enjoyed every mile of it. We showed up Friday [...]
After a good portion of time away from the computer I had to return. Money was running out and I started getting antsy. We’ve been back for a couple weeks now and life is busier than ever. But I’m not complaining, far from it. I’m just using it as an excuse for watching Law and [...]
Rapha Festive 500 A friend of mine used to write a lot about arbitrary goals. It’s important to be motivated, and lately I’ve been a little overwhelmed with my current work situation.

Bike Magazine coverage of SSCXWC10 Sweet. Thanks Colin!
Heh. This is why it takes me days to put something up. I’ve been off the train for four hours and I’ve got nothing to say but huh. Or heh. Even when I leave for the train early I end up rushing. But Matt and I both made the train, and promptly set up shop [...]
Meh. Am I getting older? I must be if I can go on a ride and somehow twist my ankle without even knowing it. Forest Park was pretty great. I would estimate over 100 people showed up at the Thurman Gate to voice some concern over the lack of singletrack in the park. I don’t [...]
