FEKKrew

These guys have been emailing me nonstop for the past few weeks to post their videos. So as a nod to persistence, here’s the FEKKrew. Fast forward to about the one minute mark for some beautiful scenery. I picked the one with Savath y Savalas because it makes me miss NYC.

In the future, I’m working on a user-submitted video sub-page to let people share their projects like this.

Hill Country Tacos

No, we didn’t stop there to eat. Not this time. Ross and I have been riding a lot when I’m in town. One day, we took off for the dam loop and finished it off with Jester and 360. It’s been raining a lot here in Austin, causing all the limestone cliffs on 360 to collapse due to the excess run-off. It’s an eerie sensation to ride next to large, wet rocks, ready to fall but if you catch the sun just right, it sparkles in the water. This Recent Roll was taken a month or so ago, when I had just gotten my Bishop. It’s lovely weather to be riding in right now. Get out on your bikes!

Wolf Puppy Stride: Nike Missile Base

The new Vimeo requires you to dig around a bit more to find videos. It’s a major pain in the ass. That said, this one’s worth the post. If you take a car to the top of a climb, you’re not a cyclist, you’re a long boarder. If you don’t show the climb in the video, you’re missing out. Climb that shit first and share it with us.

Full Frame Collective: Personal Series – Crihs Thormann

Photos by Dylan Bigby

I know I’ve been cropping portrait-orientation photos here on the site but these two photos are too good to put on another page. Crihs was in SF this winter, escaping the NYC cold and having a blast riding the hills of the city. Full Frame Collective did a great Personal Series on him while he was there and it’s definitely worth your time to check it out. They also touch on why Crihs spells his name like that… Head to FFC for the scoop!

To the Hills with You!

To the Hills with You!

One of the reasons why I love riding here in Austin is that I’ve got great friends to ride with. Fixed, BMX, road, whatever your preferred terrain may be, this city delivers. On a road bike, you’re missing out if you avoid the hills, just a few miles northwest of the city. Some of the my best times on my bike have been spent with Ross and Jon. This Recent Roll is dedicated, once again, to the hills!

Loose Legs SxSW Edition This Saturday

Loose Legs SxSW Edition This Saturday

Stop your grinnin’ and drop your linen! It’s time for another Loose Legs road ride for all you SxSW’rs. We’re meeting up at Frank on 4th and Colorado, this Saturday for a 9am roll out. Expect about 40 miles and 4,000′ of climbing through the Hill Country. This is a no-drop, no dickhead ride so come prepared to chat and spin up some hills. Road is recommended, but in the past, people have done it fixed.

Be there and spread the word!
