There is no shortage of places to cycle in Colorado. Many mountain towns invite cyclists from all over the world. Steamboat Spring is one of these destinations. Jared and Jessica recently took a trip to Steamboat Springs to challenge themselves by climbing Rabbit Ears Pass. Disaster struck atop the pass and this video documents the…
My cycling buddy, Jared and I wanted to get in a long ride and an incline over Labor Day Weekend. Instead of resting our feet, we labored. Saturday, we decided to stick to our area: We went up the frontage road along C470 to Clear Creek Trail to the Platte River Trail, through Cherry Creek,…
Walking to the office this morning I realized how cool the air was, kind of chilly to be honest. My first thought was time to get out the cold weather cycling gear. It’s funny how my mind goes strait to cycling, but it’s become such a big part of my life, it makes sense. I’m…

I set my alarm for 3:30am the night before the Triple Bypass. I sure as hell didn’t want to get up that early, but I knew it was going to be a long day and wanted to get started around 5am. I figured that would be my best chance to avoid any afternoon rain storms….
Because of the three day weekend, Jared and I were able to tackle a couple proper rides. Friday – July 4 We chose to ride 70 miles on Friday. Our last experience riding the Clear Creek Trail to the Platte River. We were caught in the rain and thunder and lightning and hail. Twice. The…
