Last weekend Cleetus Mcfarland was at a local track for one of his events. A buddy if mine had a spare ticket. I don't watch his YouTube much, I did years ago when he first purchased his track. It was an absolute riot, he put on an amazing event and I will definitely be going back if they come...

I got the Allez sprint on longer cranks and swapped to 1x. So much better. Also dropped 1lb of weight. I really like it, it is very fun and fast. Every single ride on it I have destroyed my PR's and gotten a handful of top 10s on strava. But I decided I am going to sell it. I could really...

whatever gets you outside and pedaling around is a great bike!

I actually had found one for pretty cheap a few years ago and really wish I had bought it!

Only race for me for this year was this past weekend. Was held at a trail right by my house, a local grassroots enduro, 3 stages. Had an absolute riot, it was with all the local homies and was a fun chill day. Most people were on enduro bikes, I do not feel like I was under biked at all on the...

Got two rides in on the Allez Sprint and I have a surprising amount of thoughts. As someone who figured I wasn't very perceptive to bike changes, I was shocked by some of the small details I noticed and by some of the larger ones I didn't. First off, though: over the last five years or so I've...

Since I have gotten into the drop bar things I haven't really had a road bike. It did all start with the Chinese road bike frame, but I almost immediately put larger gravel bike tires on it and mainly rode gravel. I briefly started to rebuild it as a road bike once I got my steel gravel bike but...

Thats awesome! My sister has been a life long runner, I always told her I would never run but she convinced me enough to give it a shot. I did some road runs but started doing some trail running and like that quite a bit. I ramped up my mileage too fast and got some IT band issues. So need to...

I know for the 350 some of the guys said they had to walk 20+ miles this year. thats the part that kills it a bit for me. When I did C2C 2 years ago it was torrential downpour and I had a riot. I don't mind harsh conditions I just don't really wanna enter a bike race and then have to spend a...

haha I've had thoughts of attempting to do Unbound XL next year but I think after another mudfest this year I think im good. before this it was 112 miles, ive done a handful of centuries but thats it.

I have watched a lot of ultra endurance documentaries. Sometimes I watch these and think to myself "I could do that" but I wanted to know if that was just my ego or if I really had that dog in me. So I decided to find out. Had about 4 hours of stopped time, we departed about 6:15am saturday...

ya this bike rocks

Last summer my wife decided to buy a pool. Neither of us had ever owned one, and living in Michigan, it needed to be prepped for winter — which we did not do. Partly because we got hit with snow earlier than expected, and partly because my light research online turned up plenty of people saying...

Edit

I was actually looking around spesh website and they had the comp in amethyst frost in my size in stock. So I called my LBS to see if they could get it and he said no but to go ahead and just order it and have it shipped to them. So it should be here next week!
