Forget “tooting” or the symphony of the nether regions – I have to admit, the title just tickled my funny bone like a toddler’s giggle. The Barking Spider Mountain Bike Race in Nampa, Idaho this weekend had my name on it, and let me tell you, it was a doozy. Racing, driving to Butte, six…

Alright, so you’ve got a pretty packed schedule before hitting the road for Boise! Sounds like an adventure. Here’s the game plan: Let me know if we’re gonna cross paths! Would love to sync up.

Decided to treat myself to a dose of pedal therapy, taking my new bike, affectionately dubbed “Ghost Rider,” out for its inaugural jaunt. The atmosphere was crisp, painted in the rich, late afternoon hues that make you feel like everything’s ticking along just fine in the world… or so I was led to believe before…

The Epic Hunt for Zzz’s: Mattress Adventures Ah, the quest for the elusive good night’s sleep—a journey I didn’t anticipate being quite the saga. Think less Hercules battling monsters, more me wrestling with air mattresses that have a penchant for dramatic deflations. Picture the scene: for three long years, my bedroom floor and I have…

Saturday I loaded up my beetle and set out for Polson to do the Speedwagon Classic. Matt Seeley started the race last year and this year we were able to do the loop he had in mind [http://tinyurl.com/swagon].  This year my friends Chad (Red Barn Bikes), Erik, Corey, and Andrew attended as well. Fun times!…

Their customer support is…

I am grateful for this kind of help and consider them a part of my team. Chiropractic Plus, located in Butte, MT, is dedicated to the health…

Last year’s ride? Oh, hands down, it was the champ of all road bike adventures. Might’ve been the gravel roads that made it feel like a throwback to the wild, wild west, allowing us to dust off those cross bikes with the knobby tires. Or, perhaps, it was that stroke of luck where I somehow,…

Hey everyone! Huge shoutout to my parents, Team Buckeys, on their 36th anniversary! 🎉 Sending all my love. This takes me back to a tough race day at Mount Snow, Vermont. I was dead last, totally beat. But then, my folks arrive, cheering as if I’d just struck gold! Despite my flop, they saw me…

Hey there! So, Muleterro, part of the Gallatin Valley Bicycle Club gang, is throwing a Bike Swap bash at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds. It’s the place to be for snagging deals on all kinds of bikes, parts, gear, and even bike and jogging strollers. Here’s the lowdown: Wanna know more? Check out their flyer and…

Hello from the snug, albeit somewhat nippy, nook of my home here in the heart of Missoula, Montana! This morning threw a frosty wink my way, sparking a hearty internal debate over the merits of leaving the warm embrace of my blankets. But, folks, fasten your seatbelts because Mother Nature’s got a plot twist up…
