THE NEW BIKE

Meet the new Honey Badger by Spot.  It is a really fun bike to ride!  The steel frame is super lively and responsive on the climbs yet ridiculously smooth and compliant on the descents.  The crenellated down-tube mated to the machined tapered head-tube makes the front end nice and stiff so steering is precise!  The "animal leg" seat stays and TT-style  cutaway seat-tube give the back end the feel of suspension without the weight and bobbing.

The Manitou Tower Pro fork is very plush and laterally stiff thanks to the 15mm thru-axle that is really easy and fast to use.  It's the best feeling fork I've ever ridden.

The Crank Brothers bar, stem, seat post, pedals, and saddle are all bombproof and light.  The saddle is super comfortable for those all day epics.

Should you actually need to slow down or stop the TRP Dash Carbon brakes will stop you on a dime and give you a nickel for change.  The adjustable reach and power knobs are easy to turn on the fly.

Finish it off with the no muss, no fuss Gates Carbon Drive and this bike is ready for anything!

It's going to be a good year!

GREAT RIDE

 I had a great ride this evening.  It was one of those rides where I was feeling no pain and it just felt good to go super hard ... and then go harder.  I haven't had a ride like this in at least a month and it felt great!  I was able to snap a couple of pics along the way with the sun setting behind the Flat Irons.

TO WHET YOUR APPETITE

The sunrises in Tuscany were quite spectacular!

RUNNING WITH THE ADVENTURE DOGS

I often see people talking on cell phones when walking their dogs. They are basically ignoring their dog and missing a great opportunity to bond and witness the joy that dogs find in simple things like running. Dogs have an ability to jump into life with all fours and fully experience their surroundings. We should all be so carefree!
