Used to buy frames from Crandall, now I buy coffee beans from him.

So you just like them or did you have a place you wanted to ride one of those? I don’t ride my big BMX really at all.

So I did another 100k bike race yesterday. This time the Rough Road 100 in Morris, IL. Went a lot better than the one I did down by Carbondale. This one had 1700 feet of climbing versus the 4,700 feet that one did. Finished I think 224th out of 350 with 58 not finishing. Switched to Skratch high...

That is certainly one way to get a party started.

That many people at your party there must have been some serious swinging dicks around.

I thought this was bullshit?

This is weird. I couldn’t even believe this was P.O.D. I don’t hate it as it’s in my lane, but it’s not really typical POD. https://youtu.be/3z-3EEdgDaU?si=8GoXy9zB8jp6AoKE

With the wide angle lens especially. I’m not a big SUV guy but I don’t hate driving this thing. Haven’t done much to it. It got weather tech’s, a cargo liner, splash guards and the clear vinyl behind the door handles, on the door sills and the rear bumper.

We bought a ‘24 back in October. I don’t drive it much but it is really nice. Wanted the trail sport as it looks cool, but for our use it wasn’t worth the slightly reduced mileage and my wife didn’t like the embroidered logos in the seats so we got a touring. Got it just in time for my wife’s...

I’ve been using this one as my work light pretty much every day since 2018 I think. It’s been lost at the hotel and on engines a few times but I keep getting it back. Dropped on rocks and it keeps going. I think a lot of EDC instagram people are mostly collectors. Most of my lights aren’t worn...

Nice color choice.

I use the air compressor a lot. The whole bottom of the downtube and a few other places have clear helicopter tape on them so it cleans up pretty easily.

Rode up to Mook’s house today. Wanted to do the prairie path but the headwind was absolutely brutal. Part of the great western was a soupy mess and now my bike is covered in limestone sludge. I haven’t ridden into a headwind that long maybe ever. It sucked, cut it short and took the Geneva spur...

Oh it was a thing. I swear we discussed this thing before I registered for it, she knew it was 5 hours away and then when I started talking about hotels I got this blank look :rofl:.

If I’m gone literally all day I might get murdered. I’m on a little bit of thin ice with my bicycle adventures. I stayed in a hotel last weekend by myself and the wife was home with the boys potty training the oldest.

There’s one in Morris 4/6 but it’s more road. I have a few in Wisconsin on my radar in October. Wausau, Lacrosse and Laona in the order I am likely to go to them.

So I did a 100k gravel race last weekend down by Carbondale, IL. Was a blast, I’ve been comparing it to typical road racing mixed with like 90’s NASCAR. The support stop had PBR at it, locals had tables setup in front of their driveways with everything from typical water and snacks to bourbon. I...

I take it these things are running on power tool batteries?

Yep. I had been by there multiple times but never went in. I always thought it was a working horse farm or something.

Did 43 miles on the prairie path today. A little soft in some spots and overall kind of slow rolling but just wanted to get some miles in on the new bike.
