    Cycling Sunset

    Yeah. It's doing me good for run training and biking.... working my legs out nonetheless. I really enjoy trail running!

    Dirty South Roubaix 2026

    I heard in some cases. But in the parts where it was blowing you back was a bit tiring. I can't really blame the winds too much though because I didn't train for it and that's my fault lol

    13's new trail

    I don't blame you! I live in Metropolis now. I used to live in Hurst. They'd get this trail made when I moved away from it of course lol

    Coldest you've ridden in

    Doing that... on cold days in Southern Illinois, I bet you'd be fine in a short sleeve jersey and bib shorts LOL

    Cycling Santa's List 2025

    I'll look into those! Is waxing that much better than traditional lube?

    Coldest you've ridden in

    I think I rode in 28 degrees once. It was road biking around Lake Murphysboro. So, as you know, the hills warmed me up quick. How about you all? What's the coldest you've ridden outside on a bike?

    Alto Rail Trail

    Has anyone heard any updates on the proposal for a rail trail to be constructed in Alto Pass? I think Quetil Trail was going to be a part of it.

    Show us your indoor setup!

    I used to be able to ride a regular bike no-handed as a kid. Now, as an adult, I cannot!!

    What did you do now?

    Wow! That’s nuts that you can’t just find a good Park Tool to fix it all. I never thought about having to get a brand specific tool.

    I’ve always been intimidated by rollers!

    New Year's Eve/New Year's Day

    Any plans for New Year's Eve and Day this year/next? We usually hike both days as a tradition, but some Eve's I work and can't really get a hike in. How about you all?

    Show us your indoor setup!

    I'm sure most of you are biking indoors these days. So, show us your indoor setup!

    Gravel Bike Event Dirty South (East Side)

    Why is there no east side race? Has anyone ever considered trying to organize one? I think allowing a specific amount at first and then increasing participation allowance might be ideal! I bet even the local Friends and Tourism groups would help fund/promotion it. If we pondered this idea...

    13's new trail

    As we all know, Highway 13 is practically getting a paved bike trail all the way through except maybe past Marion or Murphysboro. But it looks like it could be a nice road biking experience once it's finished. Will any of you use it for that or will you stick to riding on 13?

    What did you do now?

    I'd rather take my bike to the shop than deal with it even just to refill the tubeless stuff LOL Last time I tried to fix a broken spoke, I did about $700 worth of fixing. So, I'll let the experts do that. I do have a goal to buy a cheap used bike and learn how to fix and replace everything on...
