It’s the middle of winter, so the number of people that show up for the weekly group rides is lower than normal. We started with only two, but a couple more guys showed up making it a pretty decent turnout for a mid-January ride. A snowstorm last week dropped 6-10 Read more

It’s the holiday season, so this week’s group ride was fairly meager, both in terms of turnout and the riding. As Jim said, “it’s definitely December riding.” Ryan said the video title should have been, “you didn’t miss anything.” Nonetheless, it’s always good to hang out with the group. Though Read more

Due to another arm injury, I’m unable to ride for the foreseeable future. But I can still film the rest of the crew. We hit up Forte Trials Park again this week. I also tried something different this week: I filmed the ride in 4K. With the low light conditions Read more

This was one of those rides where I literally could not complete any line that I tried. Regardless, it’s always great to be riding my bike, and it’s good to be with friends. It’s also cool being behind the camera as well. Most of the lines I tried were pretty Read more

A nor’easter ripped through the area Wednesday bringing strong winds and heavy rains (thankfully instead of snow) on Wednesday, so this week we rode on Thursday instead. We figured Colonel Ledyard Park would be a bit drier than the woods after all the rain. Looking back through my YouTube group Read more
