I was cruising through some of my older shots and came across this beauty. One of my all time favorite photos.

(Editors Note: All photos taken and edited with an iPhone and VSCO. One day I’ll buy a big boy camera… till then, use what you got.)

This is fun. Go to Brother Cycles and check out their goodness. Cheers!

Cadence nails it again! Some designs I dig more than others from Cadence. This is one of those designs. Go to Cadence and check out the entire Airflow Collection. Pretty dope stuff.

WAKE UP! GULP COFFEE!! BLAST METAL!!! SMASH STREETS!!!!

This was the first time I’ve rode Bankhead National Forest. It was truly amazing with a landscape that transitions from waterfall bluffs to dry dead forest reminiscent of the Australian outback. Michael Moriarty (host of the ride) has mapped well over 100 miles of gravel roads in the forest. He has yet been able to link them all together which poses a challenge to get out there, ride with him more, and explore ways to make that happen.

We rode 43 miles with about 2K of climbing. Couldn’t have asked for better weather. I pushed myself pretty good and was on the verge of reaching my limit by the time we finished up. Next round I’ll take it easier so we can really get out and find ways to link everything together.

With that said, the ride starts out at an old gas station that serves buffalo burgers. So obviously post ride I’m chowing down on that with an ice cold can of Coca-Cola. Perfect end to the ride!

OH! and, Bankhead National Forest is the PERFECT place for a ride and camp. Sounds like this spring that should go down.

I hope you all had a great weekend! I had a blast riding with Michael, John Dershem, and Mike Bryant. The first of many rides I’m sure. Get pumped. Get out there.

You know what’s fun? Riding 45 miles of smooth gravel road with 3 solid climbs. What’s that? You would like to ride this old dusty road?! Well you’re in luck. Mr. Moriarty (fella who brought this rad route to my attention) and myself will be riding said road tomorrow morning around 11:00 a.m. (central time). If you’re in the South East region and would like to take a road trip to meet up… we’d love for you to join. If you’re local… come on!

Where to go: Bankhead National Forest 11:00 a.m. CST (We will start at the intersection of highway 33 and 36 just south of Moulton). Please feel free to email me if you have questions (createfolly@gmail.com)

WOW!!  These deceptively safe, made in USA, guaranteed for life… life holding containers from Chrome have gotten so out of control in a very rad way! Their first run of reflective camo nailed it… THIS, this kills is on every level!

Great job Chrome Industries for being innovative and unlame. Go to Chrome to check out their latest run of REFLECTIVE CAMO 2.0 available as of THIS MORNING!! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

“Chrome Camo 2.0 which is one pattern by day and a different reflective pattern at night

3 styles: Citizen, Barrage, Victor

Deceptively Safe. Safety doesn’t have to be lame.

Colorways: Swedish M90 geometric camo & reflective rain camo

Chrome’s second issue of Reflective Camo is an updated version of how Chrome does camo. For this edition, Chrome found a Swedish M90 geometric camo, and overlaid a rain camo print with a special glass bead finish, which reflects light from up to 100 feet. During the day, these bags appear as Swedish geometric “M90” camo and at night the appearance in light is a reflective rain camo. Developed in limited quantities, the Barrage, Citizen and Victor are available in our versatile Chrome Reflective Camo 2nd Issue.” – Chrome Industries
