Ride The Heavy

Ride The Heavy is about using the relentless grind of the trail to process the noise of life... focusing on longevity over ego and consistency over speed.

Sunday was a buddy's 60th birthday ride at Bean Peaks, up in the Prescott National Forest. 42 degrees when I rolled out.

17+ miles and a little over 2,100 feet of climbing. It was a long one with all the stops, chats, regroups and another broken chain.

Not one person asked how old anybody was.

Saturday in August. Brown's Ranch with the Misfits, rolling at 5:31 a.m. and already 85 degrees. The clouds kept it from getting worse.

The last stretch was under headlights.

Saturday at Apache Wash. About an hour in, somebody's chain snapped.

Bike on its side in the dirt. Tools out. Somebody had what we needed.

Then we kept riding.

Julia and Steph are two of the raddest ladies in mountain biking. On Talk Gnarly To Me they talk about their rides, coming back from injury, imposter syndrome, and a lot more that riders actually deal with.

I got to sit down with them recently and talk bikes, plus a couple other things I'll share later :)

I absolutely love the sunrises here in Phoenix… it’s like medicine. today’s is from Apache Wash. Mountain biking with this backdrop never gets old.

Okay… this was a bit out of my comfort zone… and to be honest I wasn’t sure I’d even give it a try. And then I just thought f**k it, let’s go!! The adrenaline kick after finishing was real.

Anyone else ridden Waterfall at South Mountain?
