Today, while rid­ing the SLC shore­line on my lunch break, I came across mul­ti­ple peo­ple, out hik­ing and bik­ing, with their pups. I’m always pleased when I see mans best friend out enjoy­ing the trails with us. Every time I take Kashi out for a ride or a run, the big doggy smile on his […]

In less than two weeks, nearly every­one rac­ing the Crusher will be ques­tion­ing or con­firm­ing a much antic­i­pated deci­sion. What is the per­fect steed for such a race? CX, MTB, Road? Other ques­tions that fac­tor in may pos­si­bly include: How will the race be played out? What is the ter­rain like? And the most important […]

Houf­fal­ize, a clas­sic among World Cup venues that attracts thou­sands of spec­ta­tors from all over Europe. Just rac­ing at Houf­fal­ize, would be a mon­u­men­tal moment for most cyclists… and then to find a spot on the podium is pretty freak­ing awe­some. Last week­end, Utah’s own Kee­gan Swen­son of Can­non­dal fac­tory Rac­ing, did just that. KDAY […]

The rac­ing sea­son is right around the cor­ner and I think most every­one will come out swing­ing hard. It’s been a pretty mild win­ter as for our “win­ter” activ­i­ties and for the most part, many of us have spent more time ped­al­ing than get­ting face shots. I’ve got mixed emo­tions about it all, but the […]

Some of you are well aware of my ter­ri­ble sleep habits that have been per­fected over the past few years. Think­ing about it, it’s prob­a­bly been a good five years or more to dial in the art of stay­ing up way too late only to argue with the alarm clock every morn­ing. It’s become an […]

It’s called Strava. If you’re not famil­iar with it, I sug­gest you sign up. Over the past sea­son I’ve been using Strava, for more than just a map of where I ride. It’s way more. Strava com­bines all the data one could ever need to pro­duce a “tan­gi­ble” out­look on your train­ing or rac­ing. Every­thing from […]

For those of you in the com­mut­ing busi­ness, you may want to check out the Flash and Flare lights from Expo­sure Lights USA. Weigh­ing in at 46 grams each and spit­ting out 100 lumens of blind­ing light, after one test, you’ll make this combo a sta­ple for your noc­tur­nal nav­i­ga­tion. The Expo­sure Flash Flare combo seen below […]

Hope­fully most of you are famil­iar with Dumonde Tech bicy­cle prod­ucts. They bring to the work bench a solid lineup of lubes, grease, oils and sol­vent. Top grade prod­ucts to keep every bike run­ning smooth, clean and fast. This sea­son I’ve had the oppor­tu­nity to work directly with them and test out a few of […]
