A recent (okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch, since it happened almost a year ago) Pinkbike poll asked a really interesting question, I thought: how picky are you, with regards to your bike’s setup? It was one of the few times I’ve been there and actually had to stop and think about my […]
Goodbye, For Now!
Well friends, it’s been fun. However, much as I like to say that mountain biking is my life, I must admit to the fact that it’s not an entirely true statement. As those of you that have clicked the “about the author” page for me will know, I’m currently going through my undergrad degree. Right […]

All Work and No Play Makes For Quite a Dull Day
Why do we always try (or, at least, talk about trying) to push ourselves, every single ride? Now, I know that with the New Year having just passed, many of you will have all sorts of resolutions like “I’ll hit that rock garden at least 50% faster than I did last time!” Maybe you’ll tell […]

Normally I try to make the best of winter and ride as much as possible. This year I even had my new SS converted winter bike ready to go. So what has gone wrong? Life can really throw you some curve balls when you don’t expect it. My first ride of the year on my […]
My Favourite Photos of 2013
I am no photographer by any stretch, but I do enjoy taking photos and once in a while they turn out okay. Here are some of my favourites (at least the ones I could find) that I took last year. Not all biking related, and not all great photos but the memories that go along […]
Fair thee well 2013, was nice knowing ya…..
As I sit here mid holidays, belly straining under the volume of roasted delicacies and more than my share of merriment (if you catch my drift….) I find myself reflecting on the year behind us, inevitably thoughts turn to mountain biking and my plans for 2014. Of course 2014 will be the evolution of that […]
19 Goals for 2014
Every year I have goals in mind, but I keep them to myself, that way if I don’t reach them…I just keep it quiet and tag them onto next year’s list. Well, this year I decided to change things up and announce my goals to the awesome TMTBL community, this way you can hold me […]
Winter Riding? It’s Snow Problem!
As anyone that’s ridden in the cold season knows, the proper clothing can turn your ride from “death wish” to something worthy of at least two free beers. The key to surviving winter rides is actually pretty simple: layer your clothes! It’ll keep you warmer to begin with, you can take some off if you’re […]
