• PowerTap SL 2.4

  It is here! It is wireless. It is tubeless. It is mileless. Dustless. Muckless. Mine is 26 inchs and almost ready for action. Stay tuned… DHL is holding Dave’s PowerTap 2.4 wireless tubless disc wheel hostage carting it all over the Western... Posted Apr 24 2008, 11:02 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic

• Lime Kiln Canyon

  Lime Kiln is a place in the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument that has been calling for a while. The Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument is 30 miles south of St George and covers over a million acres. It is huge and remote. It has no food...

• Harsh beauty in Sedona

  We went to Sedona, AZ for the SBFL last weekend. Lynda raced, I just rode. Chad warned that the first 10 miles were pretty harsh and rocky, but I read in the descriptions it also included the best views in Sedona. I set the Lev up all super squishy to...

• Bug days

  Yesterday was one of those days, the kind where you’re blindsided faster than your reflexes can handle. So, after wrestling with multiple projects it was time to hit the trails for a bit. I haven’t felt this good on a bike since GLR ‘07... Posted Apr 10 2008, 02:54 PM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic

• D2D 12 hour Solo

  Big kudos go out to Dawn til Dusk 12 hour race in Gallup for adding a female solo single speed category. While I will be sad not to race directly with the guys on my SS this coming weekend I am excited to support this new category. Old Pueblo is one of...

• RIP

  Quite possibly my favorite man made structures. Well, aside from a bike or two… A couple years back: Yesterday: Yowza. Don’t play with matches. Posted Apr 07 2008, 01:59 PM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic

  Indian paintbrush, my favorite springtime marker. Posted Apr 06 2008, 11:52 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic

• White Rim in a Day

  The day after Rim Ride, Dave and I indulged our 2-Epic hearts and rode White Rim. The weather was wild all day. It is raining in this picture above but the sun was out. It made the fantastic views surreal. The section from White Crack to Murphy’s... Posted Apr 03 2008, 11:16 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic

• Ridin’ rims with grins

  We’ve been looking forward to RimRide for a long time. The plan from day one was to ride it SS, not hard, and together. After Vision Quest, 1/2 of 2 Epic had a tendon injury that made riding SS impossible…there were a few weeks when we just...

• Power date

  Lynda and I decided to do RimRide together - as in stay together during the race. At the last minute we decided to go SS too. 32.19 for me, 34.20 for her. How’d it go? Well…beyond all expectations. We didn’t expect to be in the mix ... Posted Mar 29 2008, 08:39 PM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic

• Rim Ride Obsession

  Now I’ve decided to do Rim Ride SS it has brought on a minor obsession. I sallied up my SS with the 34×20 and all the race goods. 4 water bottles, Power-Tap, GPS, a couple of tubes and misc items taped around. Barrel Roll was fabulous today...

• Rim Ride Carrying Capacity

  How much fluid to carry and how to carry it is the second most burning question for Rim Ride now that the rear shock blew up on my FS. I figured if I was HT then I might as well be SS - and of course that makes the #1 burning question what gear to ride... Posted Mar 25 2008, 08:07 PM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic

• Training Nutrition Research

  Long ride yesterday into red neck territory. Note bullet holes in sign. As coaches it is our duty to test out new sports products that come on the market so we can give our athletes geniune feedback. Wow. All I can say is that I was glad I didn’t...

• Trans Utah ’sploring resumed!

  Smith Mesa was the object of our tires today. Not very technical, good thing cause you can’t keep yer eyes on the trail. Plenty steep though. Rumors of ejector seats and flying monkeys abound behind these signs. We sure wanted to explore…but... Posted Mar 16 2008, 11:45 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic, Exploratories, Trans Utah

• VQ SS data first look

  Remember Quadrant Analysis? Here’s the VQ data in it’s entirety in QA: Red lines with numbers represent cadence. Yes, that one all the way to the left is 30. Being a high cadence guy, it’s hard to wrap my head around the fact I was grinding... Posted Mar 07 2008, 11:28 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic
