Watch out! Bryan's got a GoPro, and he knows how to use it.

I Went to a 5-Star Restaurant and had a PB&J with a Quarter Water

We started out with an appetite for shreddin'. On the menu were some new trails mixed with old favorites.

Spencer had a wall ride for dessert.

Since I'd forgotten my wallet, all I could order at this 5-star restaurant was a PB&J with a Quarter Water. Luckily, Spencer showed up with fat pockets so he took full advantage of the haute cuisine. Next time, dinner's on me and I'm licking the plate clean.

Quarter Waters

Translation: we rode great trails, I couldn't get it together, Spencer went fast, I'll be back for a second helping.

Where's Waldo

Where did Waldo ride last week?

Mr. Luuuke & friends go to Moab.

Taking a mid-ride bath on a beautiful spring day at Walker Ranch. I forgot my conditioner. Oh, well.

Chips 4 Kids

There's a huge fundraiser called Chips 4 Kids on Saturday, April 28th at Boulder Indoor Cycling. It's going to be a casino night with a silent auction benefiting Trips for Kids. The Trips for Kids program introduces mountain biking and the outdoors to children that otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to do so. Come support all the hard work that BFBC members Jenny, Greg, CT, and others have put in to this sure-to-be-awesome night!

Youngn's

Check out this pile of bikes. A few Saturdays ago, I helped the Boulder Parks & Rec department and other volunteers perform some routine maintenance on a bunch of children's bikes. They are from low-income housing residents around the city. The department collected them from the kids. With the additional ones donated by city residents, they'll fix and re-distribute them. This way, as the kids grow, they'll have a bike that fits and is safe and fun to ride.

Riding. Fixes. Everything.

You know that feeling. It's a little stress, maybe some argument at home or work has you flustered. Maybe you got denied a promotion or job. Whatever that feeling is, there is always something to alleviate the pain. It usually kicks in at the top of a climb, one berm into your favorite trail, or even just cruising the bike path.

All of that stress goes away.

That's because: Riding. Fixes. Everything.

East coast riding is awesome. So is shredding. And friends.

Kali Protectives, Keeping BFBC in One Piece

We want to give a shout-out to another awesome Best Friends Bike Club partner, Kali Protectives. We just got a motherload of a shipment from these good folks, and we are pumped to have them protecting our melons, elbows, knees and pretty much anything else with their dope helmets and armor. The BFBC has an awesome mix of riders—some gear up with a full-face and pads to shred the downhill tracks, while others are cool with just a big day out in the mountains. Similarly, Kali has a great mix of products for whatever style of mountain biking you like. Best of all, they've got a crazy array of different colors and graphics, so you know you'll be looking fresh when you post up at the trailhead. Oh, and for those of you who like bikes of the motorized variety, they also make some sick DOT-approved helmets for throttle-twisting. Thanks again, Kali!

Bryan hits up Betasso early season. Self edited video to boot... isn't he crafty!

Rite of Passage

Mud-splattered legs. A late winter rite of passage.

Does Valmont ever get old? The answer is:

No.

These guys get it

There's only one person not having fun in this video and they're pretty easy to pick out. The two guys who made this piece of cinematic awesomeness belong in the BFBC.

Royal Racing...Is Down With Us!

Our "team" concept is definitely non-traditional. While most sponsor/rider associations materialize through race results, we're approaching mountain biking from a few different directions: giving back to the sport, telling the story about the riding we enjoy, and yes, a bit of racing. We're all extremely excited to announce a partnership with an awesome company that agrees with our mission: Royal Racing. They supply some of the world's best riders with clothing. Aaron Gwin won the World Cup overall wearing Royal, and shredders such as Mark Weir and Garrett Buehler wear Royal. That's quite a roster, and we're ecstatic to add our names to the list of Royal riders. Look for us wearing some of the best mountain bike clothing out there. We love our Royal gear, and you're guaranteed to as well.

Valmont in Winter?

Sure... why not?
