Get Off My Trail
Fitting in another ride on Zwift in an attempt to hold onto some tiny bit of fitness. On the bright side I think I found a hub for my fat bike. It’s like Zwift chooses my moments of weakness to take a screenshot. The ride – Zwift The equipment I’m super lucky and my wife bought me a Wahoo KICKR. It’s realist and for a
It’s a bit of a challenge to find all kinds of things these days. 177mm Fat bike hubs are especially difficult and so while I hunt for parts I’ll find myself on Zwift. Here’s day one. The rides – Zwift The equipment I’m super lucky and my wife bought me a Wahoo KICKR. It’s realist and for a trainer pretty quiet. If you have the
Today I discovered why my drivetrail was cracking all the time. I woke up to freezing, negative temps and decided that I would drop my son at school, ride and then drop by the shop to let the team there adjust things so that I could get rid of the annoying cracking noise coming from the rear end. As I attempted to blow through the

Happy New Year! Had a chance to get out and ride with a buddy today. The temperature was again around 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Even with cold weather gear it’s cold.

With my Salsa Beargrease now sporting a brand new AXS GX transmission I was stoked to get out and play in the snow. Sadly, the experience started with me leaving the parking lot and immediately dropping the chain into the wheel. Digging the chain out of the spoke in near 0 degree fahrenheit temperatures was miserable. Not a great first impression of the much hyped
Bad air and no time left me on the trainer for most of the week before Christmas. Overeating and family parties means I’ll be carb loading and passing out on various couches for the next few days. Have a Merry Christmas! The rides – Zwift The equipment I’m super lucky and my wife bought me a Wahoo KICKR. It’s realist and for a trainer pretty
Perfect day and perfect trail. The Beargrease needs love but it’s nice to be playing in the snow. The Ride – Providence Canyon
Spent the week hunting badges for the Neokyo map on Zwift. I really should be riding in the snow but the fat bike needs some love and I need more time.
I joined what I thought was a recovery ride on Zwift and instead found myself in a criterium sprinting and gradually falling behind the group. I wish I could “recover” like these guys. I then licked my wounds for an hour while I fell apart on the bike. Not my best Monday but hey any day on a bike is a good day. The rides
