Beyond This Place

“Now a new father, Kaleo challenges his long-estranged, hardcore-hippie dad, Cloud Rock, to a gruelling 500-mile bike tour. On the road, they struggle to reconcile their vastly different outlooks and fathom the complicated love they share.”

Very cool documentary with “original music composed and performed by Sufjan Stevens and Ray Raposa Winner of the Golden Horn for Best Documentary at the 50th Krakow Film Festival.”

Morvelo – Ride Everything

Here is a cool video that will get you pumped before a brisk winter ride.  Morvelo is a fun company that focuses on riding more than wining.  I like that.  Too many people just focus on training, winning, training, winning, training, etc.  It takes the fun out of it.  What Morvelo stands for:

“We stand for a love of bicycles
All bicycles
MTB, Road, Track, Cyclocross, BMX, Commuter, Hack
It’s all about the ride.
So this is Morvélo.
Clothing inspired by bicycles, the culture and the simple joy that it brings.” – Morvelo

I love cyclocross bikes.  Time to put some Fatties on my Surly!!
