Dogs, Blogs, and Bike Cogs

I started biking a lot more in college. I hated taking the transit system, and the best way to navigate the city was to take a bike that I shared with my six roommates (not at the same time).

Bike races are hard. Fun, but hard. 

So hard it took me almost a whole month to write this post – but hey, we’re here now so better late than never.

In the red corner, weighing in at a lengthy 40-miles long, the "Gruesome Gravel Grinder," the "Annihilator at Arrowhead," it's the Black Fly Challenge (TV audience "booo").

It’s funny. If you complete the Great Divide, people start to think, “You must be a pretty big bike guy.”

Spoiler alert: I’m not.

There are some real gearheads out there and I definitely recommend going to your local bike shop if you want any advice on how to fix your bike. If you’ve read my exploits, you know bike repair isn’t my forte.
