I’m continually inspired by folks that are taking it to the next level. Team Dream is doing just that and I love it! Their goods have just blown up with some of the raddest gear on the market. I love the brands demeanor mixed with solid photography (some of which is by Mr. Jesse Carmody)!
Go check out Team Dream Bicycling Team and all the cool they bring to the table. Jah blessed.
Favorite winter cap seen this season. Clean, simple, functional.
Go to Cadence Collection, check out this sweet covering, and all the rest of their goods. Enjoy!
Three items from Lone Wolf Cycling that will keep you warm and hoofin’ it through the winter chill. 
“Our Totem winter vest stands tall against the wind and cold. Built with a heavyweight windproof fabric on the chest, shoulder, and back panels as well as a strip behind the zipper for full barrier protection against the elements. Reflective piping along shoulder panels, high 2″ collar, and 3 open rear pockets. Side zip pocket with reflective strip keeps valuable items from jumping out.”
“HEX totem stands as our emblem. Wind resistant, 2-way stretch nylon & lycra blend fabric with fleece lining. Elastic grippers inside the upper cuff prevent slippage.”
“Take the edge off of the cold season chill. Fleeced interior winter shorts built with our multi-density Marathon chamois.”
I hope you enjoy as much as I do. Go to Lone Wolf Cycling and check out more details!

This weekend killed all other weekends! So much fun having everyone out racing these gravel grinding endurance races!
Last year I hosted this race the weekend before the BAMACROSS series took off. Everyone had a blast and loved stretching their legs over the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge 12 mile loop for 3 laps. I wanted to host it again this year and as I was planning, continually exploring my area for farm lands/refuge sections that are acceptable to race, I came across a second location that was perfect to add on as a second race day.
Day 2 Men’s top 3 (1st Patrick Casey, 2nd Jacob Tubbs, 3rd Hardwick Greg)

The new race route was pretty secluded and GPS/Phone service was not present. I’m thankful for all that stuck it out and fought through the poor directions to race Saturdays race. Next year I will make it much less challenging to locate.
With that said, everyone was amped to go dominate new gravel roads! I don’t think anyone at that point had ridden this area. I know very few locally that even knew of the spot we were at… and that was the point. Bring folks out to race the unridden! BAM
Last year I hosted one race. This year two. “Consistent x Progressive” is a motto that Kyle and I live by with this thing we call FOLLY. I have no background in race directing and maybe that’s why this was so much fun. There was no pressure or guidelines for the race other than, go out, kill it! and win cool stuff from our very rad sponsors!! I think we ended up raffling off 10 bad ass prizes and that’s after everyone’s podium prizes!
Below are the race results for both days. The images in this recap are some of my favorite from the 55 film shots that made the cut. Go to FOLLY x FILM and check out the rest (DAY ONE, DAY TWO)!
