Breakaway

You can fall behind. Give in. Break.
Or you can step up. Give it your all. And breakaway.
Biding your time, till you know it’s your time.
To leave all the other riders, all the crowds and all the doubt behind.
To leave all you’ve got on the track, with nothing left to give.
To bring cold strategy and fiery boldness together in one pure moment.
Anyone can break. But not everyone can breakaway.

Howdy y’all! If you’re headed to the Ruta Del Jefe, we’ll see you there. If you are going into this kinda blindly, I suggest you read up on the race at the Bike Reg page and study the course route. After riding in this zone last weekend during Super Stoke, I can say it’s a tricky area to navigate if you don’t have a map, so do yourself a favor and download something like Ride With GPS or print out a map!

There’s also a ping pong tournament at Madrean Fabrication tonight so head to 1011 S Euclid Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719 from 6:30-?pm.

We’ll see ya there! My back is kinda screwed up so I might be playing neutral support at the event!

Our friend Pepper Cook was recently interviewed by Surly!

Favorite bike-related memory.
I don’t have one specific bike memory, but I think my favourite thing on a bike ever is when you ride in Autumn and it’s flannel weather and the sun does that thing where it shines through the tree branches all dappled and you get to ride over a thick carpet of fallen leaves. You can hear the quiet crunching of the different coloured leaves and it’s cool enough outside where you don’t get sweaty. It feels like you’re riding in a time machine that got stuck on pause, or like you’re the last person on earth and you’ll never have to hurry anywhere ever again.

Pepper works with getting kids into bikepacking, has a warm and positive attitude and makes even the most miserable, or Type 02 fun trips look fun. Head on over to Surly to read more!

We shot with Spencer last year on drop bar bikes but after seeing his MTB videos, particularly this one, I want to tag along with him on his flat bar endeavors. Keep it fun dude!
