Look what followed me home....
Bronson CC

My Blur LT was getting a little long in tooth and I noticed it last year on a few of my bigger rides.

That Trek is pretty cool, and you sure are equipped for long miles in the saddle!

Squintin' like Clint Eastwood staring down the bad guys!

(And that 4x4 Hornet wagon with simulated woodgrain and simulated wire wheels is so very period correct! Great picture!)

First ride since new purchase. Put 15 miles on this am...smooth and quiet.
The 8 speed shifts with no sound at all. I'm used to the clunk or click from a normal gear bike...this one has none. The belt drive make no sound either.

Been getting emails from Campagnolo on their new 12 speed cluster- wild, the chain must be super thin. Really the limiting factor is the chain, you can stack an awful lot of gears in a tight space.

I’m still running Campy Record 10 and haven’t felt a need to upgrade.

Website isn’t fully working yet, they’re building suspense.

Just got back from a nice if not slow and windy 20 miles on the Gateway Trail. Got to get the winter fat burned!

Mountain bikers have been running 1x12 SRAM setups for 3 years or so. They're great in the dirt.

Here is my gravel grinder that I have been loving for the past year. Not the best out there but for the groupset and all around capabilities I have managed. Have done 30 mile group rides and have ridden in the mud and sand.

Running 46/36 with 11-32.

Picked this up from the dealer today. Orbea Occam TR LTD. Left the flats on it for the first ride. Been awhile since I rode without being clipped in.. I soon remembered I like the control clips give me. Put my crank brothers candies on it as soon as I got it home. Fun light trail bike. Feels a lot like my old Santa Cruz Carbon Blur, but rolls much nicer over our rocky trails on 29" wheels. Orbea headquarters are in Little Rock. Bikes are made in Spain.

Kid's new NS Surge Evo. Seems to be holding up well to his abuse.

Shipped a bike out with me on this business trip. Rode some of the Minnesota Central Lakes Trail starting in Fergus Falls, MN. Absolutely one of the most beautiful rides I have ever taken....

Focus Mares CX with Spinergy wheels. Really diggin' the orange spinergy wheels on this bike.
