Grabbed my buddy Ian and took advantage in a break in the weather to enjoy some time on the Black Canyon Trail just north of Phoenix, AZ. We got dirty, the sky...
This is what happened during my solo attempt at the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo put on by Epic Rides. Mostly I talk about how I planned my laps in order...
I got the amazing chance to ride with two professional enduro riders, Syd and Macky on the very challenging and fun Full Lemmon Drop. That was the plan anyway. It went a...
This was interesting but triggered a debate between my friend and I about if dropping caches along the way could still be considered unsupported. My point was how is that different than...
Hmmm, that adds a couple interesting data points. The article I originally read had some questions to the film maker where they made a big deal about doing it unsupported. It seems...
I have had good results from the Trainer Road programs. Worth a look.
I would have your LBS use the derailleur hanger alignment tool to verify that your hanger is straight vs just seeing if it is flat. The 3(ish) feet of extension that comes off...
On a road trip from Boulder to Albuquerque my buddy and I rode out at White Mesa and liked it so much we rode it again on the way home. Loved the...
That should make for a good Xmas as long as they don't get snow.
In this two part video I try to ride the Cottonwood Loop outside of Salida, CO with equal parts calamity and fun. Trail Details in the video descriptions.

<p>I use a Light & Motion Urban Trail 850 on both my bar and my helmet, really solid light.</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip on the shock Aaron, always learning something new.</p>
A comment on on of my videos turned into a full blown meetup with another YouTuber and 10 other people. We had a great day and Eric explained how he controls his...
<p>I use the 1Up-USA bike rack. Specifically the hitch mount 2 tray with 2 more when I need them. I've had roof racks and other hitch racks, including the Kuat NV, and...
After riding Captain Jacks I decided to make one more stop on the way out of town. Someone suggested I try the Falcon trail on the Air Force Academy grounds. Not overly...
With some bad weather moving in, I'm having to search out good rides where the bike won't damage the trail. Some Colorado Springs locals showed me a great trail down in Colorado...
With a cold front moving into Boulder I headed south to check out a trail I had never ridden before. While not obviously technically demanding the long miles of uphill and pea gravel...
Yikes Jeff, that's intense! Certainly nothing close to what I've had to deal with.
Been wanting to try and shoot a night ride all summer and halloween give me the final push to get it done. Threw in a couple of stories of times I was...
In the second of this two part video we start out just over 11,600 ft and take a magic mountain bike ride down one of ( if not THE ) best downhill...
Do YOU want to race? I think that's the only question that needs to be answered here.
Fall this year has been much shorter in the mountains but I was able to get this great ride in before the snow started moving in. If you can make it I...
I make a point of getting into the mountains every fall and even though my bike was busted I demo'd a Pivot Mach 429 Trail and made my way to the Colorado...
This is a trail system that's just down the road from me so I grabbed a couple friends and gave it a look. All of us left with smiles on our faces...
I live in an area with an active mountain lion population but have never run into them. The general fear with them is small children, they are generally afraid of humans. While...
The guys at GMBN and GCN really like them as does the chairman of IMBA. It's a well established brand in Europe that is only new here. If you know how to...
I headed south to Arkansas to the Oz Trails and gave Back 40 a go. A super fun trail, it chewed me up and spit me out with less blood and pride...
Here is the perspective from Horns High MTB, a Kansas City local.

I guess I'll be the edge case here. I have a dropper post and find that I am less stable and slower when it's down. I don't know the last time I...
I had to go to Little Rock, AR for a business trip so I decided to throw the bike on the 4Runner and turn it into a MTB Road Trip. My first...
After riding up Tomichi Pass and then hiking up to above 12,000 feet there is hours of downhill that is 100% singletrack. Amazing and totally worth it.

RE: Corn Plant, do you mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracaena_fragrans ? If so I've never seen anything like that in Colorado. You do make a good point that you shouldn't use something on yourself unless...
For what ever reason I have never ridden Deer Creek Trail in all the time I lived in and visited Crested Butte. I couldn't tell you why but I went ahead and...
Riding after work is one of my favorite ways of blowing off the stresses of the day. Having the opportunity to work while on a trip to Crested Butte I also had...
