So, after 29 years of mountain biking in New England, I picked up my first case of Lyme disease. I suppose it was bound to happen eventually. I am pretty rigorous on the tick check post ride, but this fawker bit me where I can’t really see or...

nice, I could have used that last week. After seven straight days of gravel riding I had saddle sores.

Cane creek thudbuster ST. Its great!

Awesome. I may have to revisit the idea again. Hardest part for me is deciding which of my bikes to install them on. 😁

Oh I have one, My Mountain bike is single speed 😉 Raced it in a duathlon and triathlon last year. I was the only SS out there 😅

what kind of seat post is that?

these will go on my gravel bike, Specialized Diverge.

Oh absolutely! 😆 You asked for it. 3 of those are my hubby's, the rest are mine. 1. Custom gravel bike 2. Niner Sir9 (SS). I custom painted the frame 3. Road bike 4. Salsa confluence 5. Scott road bike - hubby's 6. Niner SIR9 - hubby's 7...

This might make you cool enough to not make fun of your tri tendencies

This will be my second set and so far they have been great. Super strong and super light and easy to build if you use Berd hubs.

Chop-chop, lightAF. 🤘🤘

Grinduro is back in Quincy. Anyone going? https://grinduro.com/grinduro-returns-to-quincy/

building wheels with Enve gravel rims, Berd spokes and hubs. rear weighs 700 grams :D

any hip pack will work, type is personal preference. 1/2 liter Nalgene bottles fit in a cycle jersey pocket. One bottle on the bike, one bottle/bladder in pack and one or two in jersey is an option if needed for longer rides. carry filter is...

It's been raining for almost a week here. I don't ride an indoor trainer, and I was at the point where I just needed to get out and pedal. No dirt -- just a soggy ride. And I saw this fungus:

Hot,hot,hot! Borderline, unrideable with the humidity. Did the 11 miler, but was on the bike, rolling at 7:00 am. By 7:35, I was a sweat bucket. Was able to keep a good pace, faster than last week with same conditions. Most of the ride is in...

It’s hot. Riding at night these days….

Cotacachi volcano on the background.

Good ride (35km) today, with some nice climbing in it. Really quick run out (first 5km were about on par with riding the road bike!) aided by a good tailwind... but because it was out and back, I had the headwind on the way back! Really see...

Bikes, friends, and well other things…. 😂😂

Felt like Fall this morning. Tried out a few different trails that I haven’t ridden in a couple years, contiguos to one of my longer loops. So, 14.5 miles with nearly 900 feet of climbing. Somewhere in the last 2 miles, a dog chasing me, forced...

New frame to new bike day…. Basically went from a Medium Esker Japhy to a Small Esker Japhy. So much happier with a bit smaller frame factor. Jenna doing her magic… She seems happy with the results…

New bike frame needs a new frame bag. Went over to my buddy Rippie’s shop yesterday and he measured up the frame triangle for a new frame bag. 🤘🤘

WOW! You’ve earned some respect.

Outstanding!! 💪💪⚙️⚙️
