I won’t be posting on this blog anymore, having moved back to http://secretreality.com not that I won’t still be posting bike related topics, but this foray into a targeted bike only blog is really too limiting for me since I have way too many interests to keep on topic. That and I had a pretty … Continue reading
After taking some time to recover from a bunch of rides that made up for 50 miles worth of riding, from road to the super rock sweetness of Rockville, I needed to take a little time off to recuperate and recharge. I took a week off from riding, partly because I needed it physically, but … Continue reading
I sat there in my swivel chair, staring at my monitor. The Boddingtons pub ale getting warmer by the moment as it was slowly sweating a small pool of water onto my desk. Glaring at it, as if to say I’m better than you, a half full bottle of Jack Daniels sat perched off to … Continue reading
The other day a friend of mine and I were talking about bicycles, and I was prompted to explain the difference between an all mountain trail bike and a cross country bike. As I was doing this, it gave me pause to not only think about all the different varieties of bikes that exist, each … Continue reading
Funny how time flies right by you if you aren’t paying attention. I mean, before I knew it, the weekend was upon me and I hadn’t gotten in a ride all week with my last ride being at the Salmon Falls trail the previous Saturday. As it was now getting late in the day on … Continue reading
Well the weekend was finally upon me, and I’d already spent the requisite time properly breaking in my new bike locally, so it was time to head off to get in a real ride. Salmon Falls is a somewhat local trail, only about 15miles away, it doesn’t take terribly long to get to, though it … Continue reading
So while my newly discovered network of short spur singletracks may not be the best available, they are within riding distance from my house, so that makes them pretty good. At the same time, living where I do I’m lucky that within a short drive I can be at the Salmon Falls trail, which I’ve … Continue reading
I’ve really got to work out some kind of mount for a bicycle pump on my bike. I’ve historically carried a camelback, but I’ve also historically ridden mostly downhill. It kind of sucks having a backpack on while you’re doing these non-stop pedal-fests, so I plunked down a few bucks for a nice underseat bag, … Continue reading
It had been nearly a decade since I’d ridden a bike with a full gearset, and right around that time was when I had first discovered downhilling. Aside from the occasional climb here and there, pedaling was something I had left behind long ago though it wasn’t always like that; in fact when I first … Continue reading
Twas the night before Thursday when all through the shop, My DH bike was a dry mess, no oil, not a drop. My tools and my parts were hung on my workbench with care, In the hopes that soon Sandy Claws’ brown truck would be there. I laid back in my chair watching my clock … Continue reading
