CRAVESTRONG!! Feat: PDW Takeout Basket, ABUS Bordo Centium, and Adidas 3Matics – #TheRide (6/22/17)
The 3/$10 deal on Häagen-Dazs was too strong to ignore. Watch the surgical precision of my ingress/egress into the danger zone. I wanted to spotlight some of the products companies sent me, but doing so via the viewpoint of a famous vlogstar, set in the urban tableau. I think I saw my vision to fruition. […] More

Mt. Vernon Hurts (That Rough Edit Tho) – #TheRide (4/27/17)
Full disclosure: this is a shitshow. Wanted to test out running two action cams (GoPro Hero 5 & Yi4K) as a minimal vlogging setup. There were more minuses than pluses, but some of the footage was decent so I decided to see what I could get out of it. Unfortunately, the sound is total crap. […] More

#TheRide (4/11/17): It’s A Good Canal, Brent
Chance Encounter in the Woods, Strange Orange Bugs Getting It on, TURTLE FIGHT!! (Or Tortoise), Bell Hacking, and Riding With the Kids I tried. I really tried. But cutting this video down to get near 10 minutes felt like I was tearing out its soul. It’s one long, straight shot out—same route back, but there’s […] More

#TheRide (4/5/17): Cat 6 CX Race On Bikeshare
Cat 6 CX Race on Bikeshare, Getting Followed by a Choppa, Story About First Time Seeing Trabajadores, and Getting Back to Doing the Full Loop Continually putting in more miles, slowly getting more fit. Although, I’m pretty sure I burnt more calories trying to fit into my Sabotage Cycling samples than the actual ride. I […] More

#TheRide (4/2/17): I Almost Didn’t Make It Home. Almost…
Been a Long Time Since I Took the Long Way Home (Jimmy Page voice) The Sunday Long Way Home ride has been a favorite of mine for the past few years. Love the vibe DC/VA has as everyone’s trying to indulge in the last few moments of the weekend. Even when I’ve been relatively in […] More

#TheRide (3/29/17): Dead Blossoms, Dead Legs
My run of incredible form continues. I’m pretty much like Gilbert rn. HAHA. No, I’m more like Sagan’s right hip and sunglasses. Video that shows my crash at the @RondeVlaanderen was caused by a jacket that caught my left arm.

Zone 4 Lime-A-Ritas – 7/29/16 #TheRide #VlogLife
I’m pretty much rambling in a hypoxia-induced state from pushing a fully loaded steel bike with a front cargo rack and bag that act as a sail at any speed above casual. Protip: add extra lime juice to your Lime-A-Ritas to take them next level. More

#VlogLife: 7/16/16 – The Ride: Beat The Storm
#VlogLife: 7/16/16 – The Ride: Beat The Storm Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, I think of everything in categories here on the site. #TheRide was a hashtag I used for images I posted defining the essence of what makes bike riding amazing to me. Then, it sorta transformed into a site category for […] More

The Ride: Leap Day Shitshow
Going Out, Not So Bad… Truthfully, it’s been long enough since I did this ride I can’t remember anything. Anything except for the headwind on the return. Okay, anything except for the headwind and doing some exploring instead of trying to bury myself in the name of fitness. Which, based on the changing wind conditions […] More

The Ride: Presidents Day Ronde van Memorials
As is typically the case with nearly everything I do, this started small, then spiraled wildly out of control resulting in awesomeness (case in point, this damn post). Presidents Day Ronde Van Memorials and the Quest for the Presidential #Selfiesconboredom There’s nothing quite like riding while it’s snowing. There’s an energy inherent to the act […] More
