Oct 27, 2011 • Last night while down in my workshop Karen brought me her Ipod and told me she had a podcast from NPR for me to listen to. She’s always trying to get me to listen to stories they play. I was a little skeptical, since I only find them interesting about 50% of the time, but...

Oct 25, 2011 • For the last few months I’ve been looking for a touring bike. One that I can ride the Blue Ridge Parkway and other long distances loaded with gear. I also wanted a good commuting bike and wet weather training bike. I looked at the usual suspects, the Long Haul Trucker, Salsa Casserole, Civia Bryant, etc....
The main man behind Richmond’s amazing downtown accessible mountain bike trails just got spotlighted in Style as part of their 40 under 40 feature.

Tony Hall is a former CBC employee and professional photographer. Now he’s also the proud owner of this really awesome Cannondale Quick CX. Cannondale uses the tagline “Sport.

Once again he timed his training perfectly again this year and won the Duathlon World Championships in Spain last week!

Met with Hinmaton at Stijl Cycles Tuesday night. Worked up the geometry for something really cool. True fast handling road bike with the ability to run fenders and fat tires? Yup. Disc brakes and mounts for lightweight racks? You bet. This thing is going to be amazing.
This past Saturday was the Virginia and Mid-Atlantic (MABRA) track championships. All the way up in Trexlertown, PA on their 333 meter velodrome.
