  • My Suspension Fork Is Not Big Enough To Do That
    Yesterday, I was out riding two new lines at the freeride/downhill area of our local trail and I actually caught myself saying this line – “My fork is not big enough to do that.” Before I could grab the words and shove them back into my mouth, they were already out there with all of their stupidity.

  • Torture: Gaps Road Biking – Bring The Pain
    As many of you already know…this year marked a first for me. For the first time in my 14 years of cycling, I bit the bullet and started to ride a road bike on a regular basis.

  • Our Local Trails Are Underwater In Atlanta
    I don’t know if you guys have seen it on the news yet, but our local trails (and most of the northern part of the state) are under water. The massive amount of sudden rain that we received over the weekend flooded every waterway we have in Atlanta and the surrounding areas to the point that they were overflowing the highways.
