Setting up your point of view camera for the first time can be a little overwhelming. There are many different settings and modes to choose from. It takes a lot of trial and error to figure it all out. So here I’d like to share my basic setup tips for POV cameras.  I’m using a […]

Tony “Darb” Ryan was once an out-of-shape smoker with knee problems. Five years ago, when he bought an el-cheapo K-Mart bike to get fit, he had no idea how much it would turn his life upside down. Goodes Road, D’Aguilar National Park I recently had a few beers with Darb at home, and we talked […]

This weekend was a fairly important race for to me. While I didn’t make it out to the US National Champs, and due my injuries didn’t have the UCI points to compete at Mount Saint Anne, this race marked my first Eastern States Cup race in a year. It was hard for me to believe […]

Last weekend I was invited up to Mount snow to help coach the riders from Danny’s Cycle Racing. It’s been over a year since I’ve had a chance to ride Mount Snow, and that was for an Eastern States Cup race last year meaning I didn’t ride anything but the race trail. Between injuries and […]

Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE my bike, But it’s not why I love the sport; it’s just a tool to get me out there and back home safely. The reason I ride is not because of the bike, or the gear; those things don’t even make the list. While gear can make things […]

James Brown may have said it best – it’s a man’s (man’s man’s) world, but it ain’t nothing without a woman or a girl. Okay. Coming from a woman that may sound a little less than modest, but who am I to argue with the godfather of soul? When it comes to mountain biking you’ll […]
