Checked on the price of a June 2026 gravel event in the Flint Hills of Kansas. $345.00 for 200 miles. A $50.00 increase over last year. Guess that'll help pay for those 200 mile finisher jackets, eh?

Remnants of one tire’s worth of tubeless tire sealant. Doing some pre-Winter fat bike maintenance.

Today was the only decent weather day in several days and will be for several more. Didn’t miss the chance.

Shout out to SILCA for their great customer service. Asked for a pump gauge to replace a broken one and they sent me a spanner wrench (?). Sent images back and SILCA responded within an hour, posted the correct gauge and got me sorted

Record-setting March temperatures in the mid-80's meant I HAD to go on a ride despite the 25mph winds with 50+ mph gusts. Legs torched.....

I got to ride this rare Mongoose "Moose Goose" prototype once. I was a blast to ride! I think this is somewhere around a late 1980's bike. Maybe early 1990's. As far as I know it never went into production.

Over the last five years this bridge, built in the late 1950's, was transformed from six lanes of traffic to four with a protected bike lane on one side and a protected ped lane on the other. But they did not do any upgrading to the piers or support beams. Seems a bit shortsighted, Waterloo, IA

Those 20mm front through hubs and axles were a thing for a hot minute, right?

While @whateverbikes.bsky.social has been posting colorful 1990's vintage MTB's, I thought I would not muck up his thread, but I do happen to have a few "not-black-bikes" to share that fit the colorful theme.

I'm going to give these TPU tubes for fat bikes a go. I've had good success with the 29" size one I used most of last year. The weight savings alone will be worth it as I look to save approximately 4lbs from using butyl rubber tubes!
