Test of Metal.sounds like a tough race right. I thought so too until I pre-rode it twice this past spring. There was only one section that really tested me or to be more precise my bike. I knew it would test me but I didnt think it would be that bad. Dealing with 800 other […]
A lot of times people tell me Im intense. Ive come to realize not everyone is using the word in the same manner. For some its negative, some positive, others its admiration, and worse some use it to put me into some sort of classification. Simply put Im judged by my intensity. Some people say […]
May 22, 2011 Location: Leavenworth, WA Getting there: Head north on Chumstick Road out of Leavenworth. At 1.5 – 2 miles turn left on Freund Creek road, it you go under the railroad underpass, you’ve gone too far. Park at end of road where main arterial turns left. Ride up FRS 7200 through the tree […]
Last Sunday my buddy Mike and I decided that upon learning that the Indie Series race wasn’t in Port Gamble but Port Angeles and the weather looked iffy we should make the drive to Leavenworth and ride Freund Canyon. Mike enjoys the race which is June 4th, while I despise it. He promised it was […]

Today I took the day off and I was in Vancouver, BC. I made the drive to Squamish, BC with my old roommate James to check out the trails there. It was pissing down rain most of the way to the trail but we only encountered a slight amount of sprinkles. All in all it […]
On the weekends of March 26th and April 3rd, 2011 I rode the trails at Black Diamond. Both rides were wet but the trails are so much fun I didn’t mind the wet or the mud. The area does get muddy but it drains well so it doesn’t stay wet long. The first weekend I […]
Summer and Fall time means its Epic Season. Epic Season is the time of year when we mountain bikers engage in what others call death rides/marches. There is always amazing rides out there to be done, if you’re willing to put the effort in. Yes, by that I mean, pushing one’s bike. We ride into […]
Princeton Tec had a contest on Twitter which I entered and won a Remix head lamp. I just got it the other day. I’ll be testing it over the next month or so and I’ll let you know what I think. My first impression is the head lamp is clean, simple and easy […]
