This past weekend, I took my family out camping. We camped out by Mitry Lake just outside Yuma, Arizona. We got to do some fishing, roasted some marsh mallows, and even got to do a bit of off road action on the KMX Kart. We had so much fun that we plan on camping again…

Nirve Bicycles recently introduced a new bike in their line up called the Night Owl. It’s basically a beach cruiser frame with a BMX handle bars and some knobby tires…kinda reminds me of the Klunkerz bikes that mountain biking was bred from.

You heard right. Today’s brew is actually in the Guinness Book of World Records as the strongest beer in the world!…
One of the best ways to get on the good side of your lady is to make sure she’s taken care of. So for starters if the two of you ride together as much as Priscilla and I do, then you’ll need to learn how to work on bikes. Nothing says “I love you” than…
Repeat after me, “Speed is your friend. Speed is your friend.” 7 out of 11 in my category. 2 laps, 6 miles/lap = 12 miles with a time of 1:14 minutes. The winner of the sport class, our friend Ryan, won his class with 3 laps in 1:05. Ouch! That dude is a machine. This…
