Dirt/Drops

The intersection of dirt and road, or where the pavement ends.

I've mostly become interested, not in any particular cycling discipline, but in the ability for some people to ride any bike on any terrain and in the end has a shitload of fun. Speed and competitiveness are innate in any group ride, but it's the riders who can put a foot down and crack a beer at the top of the hill who seem to have the most interesting experiences. This blog will be dedicated to this ephemera. Ride notes, photos, vintage pics of a chill time gone by. Hopefully I can take you on a journey that is both enlightening and rad.


Go check out Fyxo/Prolly's recent posts about riding through the blasted woods for a better idea of why riding inappropriate bikes in difficult terrain is worthwhile.

    1. Thanks! I checked out your site and you're doing some rad things yourself. I particularly like the bike share shredding.
