First look: Lone Peak Expedition Seat Pack

I have been using Lone Peak panniers for years now for road touring. In fact, between my kids and I, we have four sets. They are well made, durable, are made entirely in the U.S.A., and after years of use are hardly worn at all. So, when I saw that Lone Peak was making a […]

Motobecane Boris X7 Update

Last fall I ordered a Motobecane Boris X7 from Bikes Direct. I did an initial “first impressions” review with the promise of a follow-up review a little later down the road after we had a chance to really put some miles on it and give it an adequate review. Well that time has finally come. […]

Moab: Kane Creek-Pritchett Canyon Bikepack

The desert has always drawn me and repelled me at the same time. I grew up spending time in the mountains where there is abundant water, shade, and cool temperatures. And I continued my pursuits in the mountains as an adult, the Wasatch and Uintas, the Tetons and Wind Rivers, and the Colorado Rockies. But […]

Kane Creek/Pritchett Canyon Overnight

Usual great breakfast at Moab’s Eclecticafé—well it’s Joel’s second breakfast—we’re sunburnt murmuring the contentedness of the last three and a quarter days gallop, squinting at Jeep traffic and people and ceramic wear clatter around us. J and I only have a couple left before we leave, so I’ve proposed something dead…

Kokopelli Trail, Pt. 1

Set off into a radiance and wind afternoon, an hour normally associated with a quick circuit to be back before evening, so there’s a sense of, not mystery but its gentler cousin, unusualness. The timing is just as anticipated, picked up Joel from the Grand Junction Airport at 11:30, lunch,…

Bikepacking in Utah Canyon Country Video

Here is a nice video of bikepacking in the desert. This is a nice time to be down there, not too hot, lots of water around, not too cold with our mild winter. Now just need to find some time to get away. http://bikepackersmagazine.com/bikepacking-fatbikes-utah/

Frosty Fat Bike Race Series #4: Powder Mountain

Saturday, February 7, was the date of the fourth race in the Frosty Fat Bike Race Series. The venue was fantastic—Powder Mountain ski resort in Northern Utah. The course was designed and built specifically for fat bikers, with large berms, jumps, and lots of ups and downs. In fact the US Cycling Fat Bike National […]

Fat Bike Summit 2015: Race Photos

The race at this year’s Fat Bike Summit was a very short, but fairly demanding course. It had a short, steep climb, some rolling terrain, a steep downhill with a sharp bermed corner, and some straightaways. It was pretty exciting to watch. There were two heats of 10 riders with the top five in each […]
