“The Future is Unwritten”

By Patrick On May 19, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
  Things never seem carefully planned, but instead just happen. Sometimes it feels like there is a movement that sweeps you up til you don’t really know where you are going and your best bet is to steer the general course and get swayed [...]

From Generation to Generation

By Patrick On May 10, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
As a child, I remember at an early age getting into bicycles. It’s true that it is a right of childhood to learn to ride a bike and zip it up and down the block. But I suppose mine might have been a little different, being the fact that my father was [...]

Purple Bike Ride: Sharing Wheels in the Rural Northeast

By Ben Corwin On May 5, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
Big bike rental programs like Citibike — present in New York and plenty of other big cities — function with specialized bikes, lots of advertising revenue, and a membership body that correctly believes that bike-sharing is a necessary cost-saving measure. If you’re in rural New England, however, bike riding is only realistic nine months out [...]

Breaking Down Barriers

By Patrick On May 3, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
  Last week passing through the Planet of the Apes was a bumpy somewhat off road adventure that was a total blast. But I remember at the top when meeting those other cyclists, before I stopped I heard one of the guys on a mountain bike mention “The roadie is most likely going [...]

Ride Report: Planet of the Apes

By Patrick On April 27, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
I’ve been pretty bad about getting on the bike once again. It’s strange how once I get out of riding, it becomes very hard to motivate myself to get out, especially with the thought of doing a 5 hour+ ride. Then I think back to when I first [...]

The Nifty Ten Fifty

By Patrick On April 12, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
The night before the Nifty Ten Fifty I had butterflies in my stomach. I had never committed to such a grueling ride before in my life. I worried about failure. I thought of all the clever excuses I could make to not go. To sleep in and feel sorry [...]

Ray’s Indoor Mountain Bike Park double time

By Kelsi Randall On March 8, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
I’ve been going to Ray’s a couple times a year since 2009. It’s one of the best atmospheres out there for anyone to be in, for anyone to feel welcome and have a great time. Naturally, with prudence in mind, you could leave your messenger bag lying wide open while you [...]

Fatbikes: Yeah, OK. They really are a lot of fun.

By Aaron Heirtzler On February 22, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
I am almost ashamed to say I just recently got my hands on a fatbike for the first time. A buddy has been saying I should test ride his for a while. I was never really opposed. Quite the contrary, actually. I’ve been wanting to ride one of these balloon-tired monsters for quite some time. [...]

Briones

By Patrick On February 19, 2013 · Add Comment · In Ambassador Program
My Marathon Mondials are in their final death throes, so before I replace them and most likely return back to 28 mm tires, I want to try and push these as far as I can, plus with an incoming wet storm, it was time to take advantage of some dry trail [...]

Late Night Rides

By Patrick On February 17, 2013 · 1 Comment · In Ambassador Program
Moving to a new city can be difficult at time. This weekend, I strangely had off from work (I work at a bike rental place, something I will share soon enough). This meant that Saturday morning I could sleep in, so I wanted to do something. Since I work in the city I was trying [...]
