Single Speed Cyclocross poster reprints.
The initial run of screen printed posters for the 2013 Single Speed Cyclocross World Championship was so popular, we decided to do a second run of posters. Here is the deal.

Hiking through the grind.
The daily grind is sometimes just that. I am onto a new semester and after my visit to Kentucky, I have my eye on wide open spaces again. I have a great season of racing bikes to look forward to and being close to home has been better for my riding and relationships, but I … Continue reading
Changing Gears
