This is a loop that Scott and I were riding at St. Joe this weekend. You will see about 1/2 of the loop and then a small turning exercise we were doing in the open. I crash at the end of it, where severely bruised my thigh. It was bad enough that it ended my [...]

Joe and I put in about 5 hours of riding at St Joe today. It was warm and drying so the locals showed up in droves which made the open sand sections and even the parking lot a little bit dangerous. None the less, we found a section of the woods that didn’t have much [...]

Yep. I can say it out loud. I have been into socks. Specifically, cycling socks of the higher type. I used to wear cycling socks that were lower, but they seem really dumb now. Here is a list of some of what I think are the best out there. Yep. I am into socks these [...]

We bugged out of town this morning early, Very Early. Scott pulled up in front of my house at 4:45am to load up. It was 8 degrees! 8 degrees! Good god. I do not know how much of this a person can take. At my house, there is about 20 inches of snow on the [...]

I am not much of a trial rider, but I have to admit this video is impressive and makes me want to get a trials bike. And this one is also impressive. Wow.

For the last few rides, I have been hearing a funny ticking sound in my bike. It has been a few months, because at this time of year it takes a few months to ride your bike a few times. After Crawfordsville, I heard a funny ticking sound. I thought it was my valvetrain with [...]

Holy Cow this one is good. I just got it from Wasting Time Films. It is called Piecing It Together. It covers GNCC, OMA and a bunch of other midwest racing. It is really really good, and on a February day makes you want to go riding really bad. Here is the trailer for it [...]

What the…? Yep, you see it right. No rear brake pedal. The crew at Rekluse make a rear brake lever that replaces the stock clutch lever. I have been using their magical Rekluse Z-Start Pro auto clutch since last season. I cannot ride without it. With my history of MTB racing, and given that I [...]

Jason Weigandt posted this link. I am reposting it, because it completely rocks. Heikki Mikkola was a hero of mine. This was a long time ago, and yes we rode bikes like that. Joe

I did a midnight run down to Suzuki Mark’s place last night to drop off my RM-Z. Vesrah has a booth at the Indy Dealer Expo this weekend and they are very kind to Joe and me for putting one of our bikes on display. Joe and I can’t go to the show this year [...]

Don’t know how I missed this before this point, but this is really really cool. Wow. This is the new NWD 10 movie. I trust it will not all be about crashing… that would suck. Found this one, and it is pretty cool. And, it is Irish, so yeah… Last one, and this one has [...]

My Moose Racing XCR and Sahara clothes arrived today! If you don’t recall, I’m a big believer in Moose gear because of how well it works. The fit is right, its durable, the colors are bold yet simple and the technical feature rock. If you’ve never ridden in Sahara gear on a hot day, you [...]

Helmet cam that I was sent showing section 2. I go by this guy somewhere around minute 18 or so. If you fastforward to minute 15ish and watch from there, you will see the mud hole and how tight things get. Not my video, but not a bad view of the race.

As promised, here is my main entry on my experience down in South Carolina. John Buechner, Brian Terry and I decided a long time ago that we would head down to South Carolina to do the opening 2010 National Enduro. I do not really know how it came about. I don’t recall how we came [...]

Joe definitely made the best of being woods rider by going to the opening round of the national enduro series last weekend but I did my best to get some ride time in here in Wisconsin. I don’t know what has kept me from riding more in the winter other than its cold and it [...]

I have been saying for a long time now, that Quiznos kicks but on any other chain sandwich place. That would be on Subway, Blimpies, Jimmy Johns et al… You don’t have to believe me, but I know I am right. I’m just sayin
