No Ride Around

Are you the angry mountain biker that won't say hi on the trail? Maybe a little perspective is all you need.

Back when we still had 26" wheels along side 29" and 27.5", there was a joke: "Pick a wheel size and be a jerk about it". There are many ways to experience this sport and we dig into (almost) all of them.

Having an event on the calendar can be a day-to-day life defining experience. What to eat, what workout to do, when to go to bed is all informed by the training you need to do to accomplish your goal. But what about after the event?

Dang near 2 years in the making. We trained, we prepped, we planned, it got canceled, and we started over. Buckle up for a long one kids, we have a lot to cover, our La Ruta Recap is finally here!

For those that recall, this whole La Ruta project has been in the making since Fall 2020. Well, after one false start and a much earlier that anticipated rescheduling of the event, we're finally off to Costa Rica for 3 days, 165 miles, and almost 25k' vert. See you all in the race recap.

Let's take the bike shop out of the equation and get some ideas about if you should upgrade your existing bike or move on to the shiny new carbon bike sitting in the showroom

Justin gets stuck in Colombia and we break down FTP testing protocols, indoor vs outdoor FTP, and how to objectively approach using FTP for racing.

Yes, we said it would only be January that we were taking off, but life happens sometimes. We're back with lots of new episodes in the pipeline and an amazing season ahead of us. La Ruta is looming, new sponsors are on board, and the weather is just getting good. Let's frickin' go!

We revisit the year, share what we've learned, what we look forward to next year, and cover what can expected from our upcoming season. Thank you everyone for a killer year! 

Justin launches a new business venture, we talk about what got him there, why it's time to change things up, and what his goals are for the future.
