Aprils' Toast...


First things first. Redstones' TNR made Dirt Rag. Yeah, this is real mountain biking, in the mountains. No girly-man crap on these rides. Pure a$$ kicking good times.


This week, we headed up into the high country to ride what would be described as 'hike-a-bike" and 'impossible climbs'. Hell, after the floods of 2013 there are almost no ride-able climbs - but we still try. Great crew and a great 3+ hours of hazards. Love TNR's!

And here are a few shots by Yann. Yann is an animal, a good friend and an amazing rider. He does the TNR nearly every week. He brings his camera. He sprints by everyone on the ride, stops, takes photos, then repeats. He rolls 32x19 SS and kills it. THANKS for all of the amazing photos each week Yann. You rock.

This thing was steep.


This weeks crew.


When the snow melts.



Long a$$ climbs.


Before.



Intense brand frames...named that for a reason.

Our fearless leader and his girl Bella, dropping some sickness.

If at first you succeed, don't try again. Chad going for the gap-to-slab jump/descent - try #2 after a successful first go.

H bar G...

I finally escaped the confines of the shop and/or the office job for a few hours of riding the only bike I currently have at my house. Did a lil' solo spinning and such at the local party zone, a.k.a. H bar G ranch. 

Atop the initial climb, just to get to the singletrack. It's like 25,000* vertical feet of gain just to get here.
The Bike. The Pirate.
Going downhill fast. Too fast to keep up with those darn eggbeaters. Yes, fixie.
It's purdy here in middle Merka.Proud.

Progress...

Crazy times folks, crazy. Not a lot of time for words. Not a lot of time period. I'm currently moving the Oddity Cycles shop into a shared space with Black Sheep Bikes. Lot's still to do, moving big machines this weekend and getting settled-in as soon as possible - as there are bikes to be built! Super stoked to be working with and around James Bleakley (Black Sheep's Founder). I feel a change in the wind...with steel and titanium bikes that come out of this shop being nothing less than the best of the best. I hope to keep the website updated better in the future as I phase into this new location - as I am also moving to a new house in Fort Collins, Co. where there is miles upon miles of singletrack in the backyard. Come visit, ride bikes, pound booze; whatever floats your boat. I'm game. Cheers!
