riding out of deerfield for a d2r2 sample platter
on Friday I escaped (or so I thought) the wall of rain that swept over much of New England. I drove up to Bellows Falls Vermont to pick up the alumax frames from Frank, and then back down to Deerfield, to a field, right as dusk set in to cook dinner and get some shut…

30th Vermont 50 MTB
6 am start line — fun enough — been meaning to do this race for some time now after hearing about it for the first time after it was already 15 year running. back then I struggled to imagine what 50 miles of New England track would feel like as I only imagined the west…

aluminus MAXimus (different than the Alumalith)
many of you sopped up the alumalust and cast your vote for this bike on the radavist alumiwars last week n’ change, so maybe you are interested in procuring one of these bespoke all metal, all American crotch rockets??? the thesis statement for this production bike was to emulate the geo and lightweight-ness of popular,…

more adv. road 10k in 100 low hills
the last post was pretty road bike centric — albeit “adv. road” which constitutes a ride with at least 80 percent pavement. there, I just made up a category. a pillar of this category is the concept of underbiking, although you can see my cousin Sean in the photo above was overbiking for this sort…

adventure road ohhkayy
when I last visited road bikes in 2009, it was all very one dimensional — 23c tires pumped to the max had me only riding on the road, road. even a slight deviation on a different surface could result in disaster, or the fear of such disaster, and no one likes having to walk their…

Arya and the tour divide
just dropped Arya off at the airport with her new bike (that has not been pedaled more than to adjust the saddle height) so that she can ride it 3000 miles from Canada to Mexico on her second attempt at completing the GDMR. I am so proud of her, I love these ideas she gets.…
