Birthday Bonanza 

This past weekend I celebrated 38 rotations around the sun with a traditional solid night ride, trailside burrito that culminated in a beer atop a trail with a great view of Tucson at 1am. I was accompanied by my amazing partner, Stef for the first few loops as I tried to tackle every trail in our local Tucson mountains. She asked at one point if I had seen any tarantulas this season and I said no.

As soon as she peeled off, I saw about 8, and 1 massive centipede, a few deers, night hawks, and heard some coyotes. Although I fell short of riding until the sun rose and only completed a small fraction of the trails, with 30 miles of hard techy mountain biking done, good company, some good food and burritos, a new Modest Mouse album new tunes from my favorite artist Bonobo, a new job at Campfire Cycling, and new home I’d say things are going pretty swell despite the chaos in the world around me and I’m very grateful for that.

B.O.B. Trailer Pizza Delivery

On Tuesday we closed the shop to get caught up on a backlog of bike builds. Seemed like a good time for a little pizza party so I got out the old BOB Trailer and rode over to Whole Slvce Pizza. Good thing about picking up pizza in hundred degree heat is the pizza stays warm on the delivery.

I’m On The Edge

After a week of riding around the Grand Canyon, it felt great to return to the sunny trails of southern Arizona. This trip put my bike through its paces, from sticky peanut-butter mud to delicious descents. My Tumbleweed Sunliner handled it all exceptionally well, confidently rolling through the chunkier sections and delivering a smooth, balanced ride throughout.

I'm always tweaking and rethinking my setup as I go, but after this adventure, I'm happy to report that very little needs to change. That's a testament to both the bike and the gear. Now I'm already looking forward to the next adventure!

Jacob the bicycle wizard

If you haven't gathered by now, Jacob is a complete bicycle wizard. Over the years I’ve seen him solve numerous long unsolved problems with people's bikes. If you ever wonder how he does it- he does it completely with his mind.

Here he is plugged in to this Fazua system on a rad Salsa Wanderosa, fine tuning it and giving it system updates. The world of bikes is better and funner with Jacob in it!

Always Second Best

For our last “Breakfast by Bike,” Toby decided it was the perfect time to get a tooth infection, leaving , , and me to take over pancake duty. All morning people kept asking, “Where’s Toby?” and “How does your pancake art compare to Toby’s?” Needless to say, he was definitely missed.

That said, credit where it’s due: the team did a pretty solid job holding down the fort. Still, I think it’s safe to say Toby better be back in June… or we may have a full-on pancake revolt on our hands, with pancakes being thrown instead of eaten.
