    The State of the Southern Illinois Cycling Scene

    The latest video by Matt G had me considering the problem with cycling culture in Southern Illinois. There is a great cycling scene in southern Illinois, but more strategy and direction with goals are needed to improve cycling. I feel like if we all worked together, we can make it happen. I...

    Trail Running

    Anyone trail run at all? It seems to be a nice winter activity when it's too cold to ride outside.

    If you ever get to a point where you can no longer ride a traditional bicycle, would you consider going full e-bike? If not, why is this?

    Group birthday ride CRCC

    First Fall of 2024 Mountain Bike Ride

    Today, I took an 8-mile mountain bike ride through the singletracks of Lake Glendale. The Lake Loop is a little grown up. There was a limb down that, if you're not watching, could take you off your bike! It was in the section of the lake loop in between the trail turn off to go towards Dixon...

    Bibs vs. Non-Bibs

    Tubeless

    I had my first road bike for like 3 years - never got a flat. After I bought my second road bike, it was flat after flat, like once a month! Tubeless is like being spoiled!!
