Took miss maddie up to BC to get a couple of fast and flowy rides before heading to Asheville for two weeks of pure mountain biking bliss. She surprised me with her badassness for two days. Hit up a 35ish mile pedal on tuesday. The CT was in need of some serious tree cleaning, but the ground conditions were really good. Once we got over to the burn area it was fast and flowy as usual. Maddie killed it. Got back to the truck and we took a nap. Thought she would be done, but no, she woke up and was jacked. Went and bouldered for a while , hiked and then caught an absolutely beautiful sunset.


This was the view from the camp site. Woke early on wed. and pedaled over to chair rocks on some uber sweet and flowy trails. Got another 22ish miles in today. Again, maddie killed it. No sore paws or anything, just one badass dog! Headed back to town where I pulled the trailer with dog to run errands to get ready for a two week hiatus. Too bad b&w can't go to ash-vegas, she would dig it. 58ish miles in under a 20hr time period makes for one happy b&w!
So unbelievably stoked to be back in the woods for multiple days. Life is so good and it's about to get silly fun!!!!!!!

The last several days of riding, spent my b-day on a 70ish mile fixie ride. The day began as breaking trail in 4in of snow, hub deep water in the tunnels and ended as a classic 65 plus degree day without a cloud in the sky.

Thursday turned into a killer day in the mtns, with Kevin! Heil, picture rock, hall and back turned into a 40 mile fixie ride on the vicious.
Maddie ended up running some errands with me, put in a little over 30 miles on this silly contraption!

Headed to pisgah on thursday for the deathmarch coupled with 2 weeks of some sik ass riding! It's about to be on.

Graduation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is official! 6 amazing years, both coasts and ending up in CO. It's been said that it's more about the journey than the destination and I do say that they both feel pretty flippin' sweet. This is my graduating class, filled with some amazing individuals. This is to all of the people who supported me on this crazy little journey, much love. Now it's time to ride bicycles for a couple of weeks with no worries! peace!

Lazy Day!

B&W chillin' in the tree beside the lake. Can your dog climb trees? Didn't think so. She is one rad little critter!















Rode the jake on the bike path over to bear creek park and hit some in town singletrack. was a nice 60/40 split of singletrack and bike path. 36x15 and flat pedals requires some serious gumption to climb singletrack, but made it work. Nothing feels better than roosting mountain bikers on a descent while rocking the cross bike. The sketchier the situation the better it feels.

Got home and grabbed the Merckx and rolled around the bike path, just taking in the evening!
It was a good day!

Thursday Night Ride

Made a trip up to BC with Chris, Kevin and B&W for a little pedal. Chris showed up with his sweet new podium 1x9 and moto fork on the front. One plush rig, for sure!
Was nice going for a ride where riding (not waiting) was the objective. Super fun pace and very little down time.

The vicious posing with a sweet little back drop. 18 miles on a weekday night ride is pretty sik! Fast and flowy trails are much appreciated! Three more days off with no studying, so plenty of riding to be had. peace
