  • Pacing Yourself While Mountain Biking
    As a UGA grad…I had to use a picture of Uga 6. He passed away on Friday of heart failure and he will be missed. Uga 6 is the highest winning Uga to date. RIP Uga 6. I thought this picture of him hanging out on ice was perfect for today’s riding tips post. BE SURE TO PACE YOURSELF when mountain biking I was reminded yesterday how important it really is to pace...

  • Woman’s Beginner Mountain Bike Clinic
    Today, Jenn and I headed down to Conyers, GA so that she could attend a woman’s beginner clinic held by Namrita O’Dea. Namrita is on her way to becoming the fastest endurance racer in the woman’s class so her advise for Jenn was going to be incredible. Her and her husband Eddie (another endurance monster) also own 55Nine Performance.  55Nine is the best...

  • Being a B.O.B.
    Post written by Angela Brown Image photographed by Jason Millron BEING A B.O.B. In the day and age of $4.00+ per gallon gas, I think all of us fall into the category of being a “Biker On a Budget”. I mean getting started in biking can be expensive, or you can cut corners in the right places to get the enjoyment you want without the large out-pouring of money. First...

  • The Ugliest Truck Ever
    Ok, so I don’t normally post about non-bike related subjects on this blog, but this is one that just had to be shared. I was driving down I-20 in Atlanta on my way to our Tuesday night ride when I saw a truck so hideous that I had to take a picture. Seriously, what are people thinking?! As you can see by the picture, this Ford F350 crew cab dully has FAKE BLINGED...

  • Tuesday Rides at Big Creek
    What started off as a couple of friends getting together every Tuesday for a ride at Big Creek in Roswell, GA, has turned into a pretty large group ride. We started this whole idea because Wild Wings has “two for Tuesday” where you get 16 wings for the price of 8. This provided the perfect excuse to get a weekday ride started. It started with about 5 of us...

  • Look Down the Trail When Riding Your Mountain Bike
    Today, I am going to talk about focusing on the trail ahead of you. Unless you are in a very technical section, the best strategy is to focus on the trail farther ahead of you instead of what is right in front of your tire. When you only focus on the section of trail that you are about to hit, you end up making unnecessary corrections that throw the bike off line. The...
