Just get out and ride
Many of us are afraid or reluctant to pursue doing things that we would really like to do. Sometimes we are held back by our jobs, family responsibilities, finances, or just fear of the unknown. Sometimes we feel like we can’t do something because we don’t have the right equipment. Most of us will probably […]
Feet and Winter Cycling
A repost and article by the Professor Here is yet another article on keeping your feet warm cycling in Winter. Feet and winter cycling I spend quite a bit of time outdoors in the winter, ice climbing, back country skiing, snow shoeing, camping, hiking, and so on.

Touring on a fat bike
A repost by the Professor. Here is an excellent and inspiring post on long distance touring on a Surly Pugsley.
