The Colorado foothill provides an amazing setting for great cycling. Jared and Jessica recently took a ride climbing Lookout Mountain, overlooking Golden, Colorado. Then they continued on to Red Rocks to take in some amazing scenery. Watch this crazy Lookout Mountain Music Video set to Holiday Road.
We’re driving back to Denver from Steamboat and my knees are not happy with me one bit. I think it’s time I look into adjusting my bike. This past weekend was a mix of countryside and mountain. Saturday we biked up Rabbit Ears Pass and Sunday was loose gravel and cow-crossing. The way Jared talked…
Jessica and I took our second ride through Deer Creek Canyon, what started out as an uneventful ride quickly turned into a chain ring disaster. Fortunately we were grabbing some video with the GoPro. Watch the footage and hear our commentary to see what happened.
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….
At some point in 2013 I got on my bike and didn’t stop riding, not literally, but that’s the point where I took it from a hobby to a serious passion. There were many factors that allowed me to ride as much as possible. I ended up buying my Roubaix in December and got to…
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…

These are powerful words and I don’t mean them in an unhealthy way, but cycling has become the biggest part of my life, something…

It’s unpredictable, nasty, cruel; one minute you’re thinking this is going to be some of the best weather you’ve experienced: blue skies, perfect temperature like Little Red Riding Hood’s porridge. Then all of a sudden, like the wolf, it’s creeping up behind you and you’re feeding porridge to a…
Well Ride the Rockies 2014 has come to an end. I’m sad that it’s over, but I’m so happy I did it. It was an incredible challenge and I will always have the crazy memories from this amazing adventure. Six days, 471 miles and over 33,000 feet of elevation gain. I feel like I’ve accomplished something…
