Back from the crazy circus that surrounds, and is, Interbike, I am finally getting around to taking some time off.  Yes, you read that last sentence correctly, it does say time off.  I will wait right here while you clean up the coffee which you just spit out, and which is now dripping down the [...]

Double wall Bodum cappuccino cup, keep your drink hot and hold onto your cup at the same time, love it.. # Most Commented Posts F*king incredible! (21) New Shoes! (8) Making the move… (8) They were the best of time, they were the worst of times… (8) Amstel Gold (7) Go to the Source – [...]

As I entered the exhibition hall, momentarily paralyzed by the neon lights and smell of new Lycra, I experienced my first flashback of the trip. In my professional life so far, I have somehow managed to find myself at no fewer than eight trade shows, each passing quickly through my mind as I sternly pretended [...]

What a great weekend of racing, camping, and driving. Saturday was the High Desert Screamer in Gallup, NM which we followed up with the Mt. Graham Hill Climb near Safford, AZ. The riding in Gallup did not disappoint–30+ miles of singletrack. The following day I broke the Cat 2 record on Mt. Graham and won [...]

On the surface, Interbike is the biggest bicycle industry trade show in North America. But beneath this glamorous exterior, it is a bubbling cauldron of gratuitous bike porn, blatant posing and institutionalized class discrimination…among other significantly less-distasteful things. I understand that this may sound a bit heavy to the casual observer (considering that it really [...]

What do you dream about?  Is it this Redline BMX frame?  We get asked this among other things in our best podcast ever!  The Two Johns both strike out in their picks of the podium of the Men’s World Championship Road Race in Mendrisio this past weekend & we applaud Cadel’s attack.  Radio Free Europe? [...]

Woo, that was quite a long silence for the blog. Interbike was crazy as usual, and the fact that is in Vegas never helps the cause! It was nice to see everyone in the industry, and all of the friends and fans of Ergon who came by the booth. Day 1 and 2 were at [...]

So it has been a long week to say the least.  It all started with Singers bachelor party Thursday night.  Go to his site noahsinger.com for photos and his account of night. Then Saturday morning it was on to the plane heading to StarCross.  I would have to say StarCross is one of my favorite races [...]

Where do I start, How bout StarCross’d? Sayin it was awesome would be an understatement. Anyone that was there knows it was ridiculously slippery like a banana peel in super mario cart through pretty much every single turn, straight away etc. I dangled off the back of the front group for a lot of the [...]

Not too much of an interesting post really, but a couple of interesting photos! The internet has been a bit of a no-go for me recently, hence the lack of posts. The wireless thingy on my computer stopped working, so when I wanted to use the internet, I had to wait till the other guys [...]

After yesterday’s meeting, each of us knew exactly her role in today’s race and no one had it easy. Of course, I replayed my role over and over in my head all night long, anxiously awaiting the start and keeping my fingers crossed I could make it happen for my team. With a 9am start [...]

Been awhile since I have written a significant post and there have been some real ups and downs in the past month. Starting with my first grand tour, which was a great time and an amazing experience. The first week and a half was filled with crashes and lots of time working on the front, [...]
