My bad take of the week. This is a horrible idea. Keep bikes off Mount k. It's way too busy on the weekends. Very small mountain tons and tons of people I get. And it does not have the infrastructure or the space for people ripping down on Enduro bikes and driving up the road to shuttle.

in 2017 I went to Climb to the Clouds with my friend Alex and a group of camera people and filmed his daring attempt at taking on sponsored pros in a 20 year old. The short film has been offline since 2018 due to a pivot of one of the funding companies. Now back online: youtu.be/9mAtxbihMrE?...

Cargo fans rejoice. Carry a case no problem.

Hear me out. Is this the steepest negative drop stem ever? Flipped. Slamnit @ryantkelly.bsky.social www.stayercycles.com/product/bana...

January has been insane busy. Getting some days off in February, luckily. Photo for content. I think we used close to 40 stands on this set up.

Today at work we interviewed an astronaut for a feature live documentary. At the end of the day we were just bsing about the silly things kids ask him when he does talks at schools. And the number two was about aliens. So of course I asked him what he thought about aliens.

Bring in the new year watching Mark juice Quail eggs. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ygK1EH/

Going to try mywhoosh today. Rejoice.

Cycling community. Looking for new mtb shoes. Stiff, boa or ratchet. Decent durability. I have thin feet but I'm 6' so not tiny. Been using Northwave forever. They are no longer selling in the US. They fit so well. So bummer. What do you like and recommend?

Does anyone have intel on riding conditions in Willowdale???

Everyone please witness this Thompson post come out without trouble. It's been in there, unadjusted for 8-10 years.

New bike day! Somehow I didn't realize it has electronic shifting. Lol. Will also definitely need a 36t front chainring. Can't wait to get out on it when the snow clears.

Never forget the Waterville ski loop. Back on 2012 when my and my girls would chase snow where it was.

Unfortunately for me, my local specialized dealer will not do the transfer from the other bike shop for me. They won't make enough money on the sale for it to be worthwhile. So much for shopping there for the past 20 years. Lol

A friend of mine has a film screening tonight about veterans with PTSD and the bond they form with service dogs. kinema.com/events/BY-MY... Check it out. Trailer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKrC...

I'm about to buy a new cross-country hardtail. I've settled on the epic from specialized. The only one within hundreds of miles is this pink one in Connecticut. Which can be transferred to my local shop. I don't really care about what color the bike is. It's a little loud. Thoughts?

I don't need a turkey trot to feel better about what I'm going to eat today. I'm active enough everyday. That doesn't mean you shouldn't go out and enjoy one. I do recall the turkey burner in Auburn used to be a hell of a lot fun.

I'm really looking forward to eating all day tomorrow. Played hockey twice today and skated for an hour in between games. Absolutely smoked.

Saw a squirrel drinking some juice and immediately wondered how @ryantkelly.bsky.social 's juice was doing.

I think the transformation is complete. I am now riding my bike just to stay fit for ice hockey. Funny what a good social aspect of a sport can do for you. Cycling here, just riding alone past few years.

Just got settled back in after a long work block and some travel. Here's a pizza we ate

Never forget the mud and rain. G'ster 2014

Today I worked with arctic ice core samples and forgot to get a fucking selfie holding one. Dang

Proud Dad moment. This post might self destruct.

If you have espn+ maybe you have some time today to watch premiere lacrosse league? It's my daughter's first ESPN live broadcast job. She's working handheld camera on the sideline near benches. Man I dislike lacrosse, but gonna watch anyway. lol

This one brings me back. My oldest in 2008 riding our local roads on her tiny 20" wheeled road bike.

No offense, but riser drop bars. What the fuck is this world coming to. Just get a pair of strain handlebars and ride A hybrid.

@gewilli.bsky.social I see Michelin is back in the bike tire game. however with weird tires and features. any thoughts? I'm a looooong time prorace lover.

This little bud has been in the tree by my house for over a day now. Left for a little bit today but came back. Fledgling red-tailed hawk, I'm assuming learning how to fly.

@latimeriidae.bsky.social I heard it's your birthday. Do something nice for yourself like a really long under fueled bike ride. ;)

A non-profit we work with is raising money to help fund an educational short film to honor the fundraiser's Mother. givebutter.com/PalminaGioio...

We have a bunch of swag accessories from our spin-off rental house. If you want a t-shirt, dm me. Just pay postage. Which has been around $6 coast to coast lately. Stickers are free. I'll throw one in there. While supplies last.

In case you are ever wondering what is underneath a passenger seat in some modern vehicles.

anyone want two Mets V Sox tickets for tonight?

I can't be the only one that stores food inside my hoodie pocket.... right?

So I got a new phone (number) for the new (second) business. The calls and texts for the previous owner are nuts. Last VM, caller said dude ruined his life and his families life. DANG bad number.

We decided to go official will all the gear we have had out on jobs in the past year. So besides our prod. company we're now going to run a separate rental house. Would love a follow if you would. Will be mostly lighting and grip chatter. bsky.app/profile/nhgr... www.instagram.com/nhgrip

Somewhere in New England, a child excitedly runs to grab a purple easter egg.. only to learn it's a bag of dog shit.

My friend sent me a text he was teaching his daughter how to skate and to my surprise, the deck he's using was my skate deck from middle school. One of the first double tail boards I rode, which I loved. But the local brand Nimbus probably made my favorite version with steep concaves.

This was served to me so I feel like it's okay to share. Can we stop calling pavers.. trails? This is more like a downhill multi-use path.

A week in California back and dang did I miss New England.

Devils (finally) won last night. It's Thursday and I'm on no sleep. Let's rock this shit.

Headline should be corrected to: "Crooks that sold this stuff to inmates stole it back."

Was about to delete this photo from a drive and it always make me smile.... Because I am not smiling in it.

In not so gloomy news. I played hockey in a different arena yesterday and had a bunch of college kids kick my ass for 2 hours. Ouch But I will say that the strength I gained playing hockey this winter has really helped my strength on the bike. Which I guess I kind of knew going into it. Lol

Miss riding in the worst weather with this guy. Logged a lot of winter miles with Brad back in the day. This photo is from this date 10 years ago. UGH

Anyone else like using the yuka app? I love it, but I find nine out of 10 things I pick up to buy are no good for me so I put them back. Haha

Today's looking like my first outdoor ride of the year.... If the roads would dry out. Curious to see how my fitness is since I switched to just hockey in February with no additional cardio.

Man it's been a weird world since 2019. This was pre-pandemic at UNH school of Law with the Dean.

Shit did I tune at the right moment
