A repost by the Professor. Mike Curiak is a legendary endurance cyclist. He’s also an excellent photographer, writer, and wheel builder. He’s done some pretty amazing stuff, like winning the first 1,100 mile bike race on the Iditarod Trail, and started the Great Divide race as a time trial back in 2003. He later did […]

A repost by the Professor. That’s right, fatbiking the river, in Winter, when it’s frozen. This looks like loads of fun. The exploration options look pretty limitless. Now I’m thinking about new Winter trips, but I confess, it does look kind of scary. But I guess if they are out there ice fishing on it, […]

A report by the Professor. I was riding regularly then got the flu, which then turned into a cold. I missed two full weeks of riding. Here are a few shots from the last three or four rides. The trails have been pretty good. Though I did do a 16 mile solo ride that had […]

An article by the Professor. The biggest event of the summit was the fat bike races. There was an advanced/elite category which did four laps on the course and was about 13 miles, and a beginner category that did three laps. The course was fairly challenging as we have had warm weather for the past […]

An article by the Professor. The 3rd Annual Fat Bike Summit was held in Ogden, Utah on January 24-25, 2014. Bullet and I went up on Saturday to check it out. I’ve never seen so many fat bikes in one place at the same time. I think there were about 150 people racing, and add […]

A repost by The Professor As I contemplate gearing up for bikepacking, I am looking at lots of different options. I came across this excellent blog and this comparison of the Revelate Designs Sweetroll and the Harness. http://www.pedalingnowhere.com/gear/revelate-handlebar-bag-shootout-harness-vs-sweet-roll/ I have a Revelate Designs Front Pocket that seems  to work well without the Harness. I have […]

A repost by the Professor. I have been following the cycling adventures of a young couple for the past year or so. They basically work for six months, then spend the rest of the year cycling. They recently completed a ride from Grand Junction, CO to Tuscon, AZ, mostly on dirt. They are now in […]

A repost by the Professor. Here is a nice interview with Joe Cruz, a guy who has done some pretty amazing exploring by bike, most recently on a fat bike in South America. He is the author of the excellent blog Pedaling in Place (link under our blogroll). http://expeditionportal.com/general/2652-an-interview-with-adventure-cyclist-joe-cruz.html

An article and review by Bullet I’ve begun outfitting the Farley for bikepacking and longer winter rides where I like to have a few extras just in case the weather turns, or I end up out longer than anticipated. As I mentioned in my review of the Farley, I had some concerns with the lack […]
