I often find funny keywords that led people to this site in my google analytics, but rarely does one of those end up in my “Top Searches” section! Enter “awkward capri.” … Now, I know for certain that I don’t WEAR awkward capris. Hell, I barely even wear capris, unless it’s for yoga and/or they’re…

Yes, you CAN check your assembled bike
Check out this bad boy: I rolled up to the Austin airport with a fully-assembled bike. It’s my mom’s Gary Fisher Nirvana circa at least 7 years ago and while she put up quite the fight saying she MIGHT ride it SOMEDAY, I eventually convinced her to relent with tales of how CONVENIENT it would…
Aspen: Chili Pepper & BrewFest
In an event you’d think you’d see in Texas, Snowmass is hosting the 7th annual unofficial summer kick-off, The Chili Pepper & Brew Fest.

I did not jump on the TOMS bandwagon, despite thinking it’s awesome that they donate a pair of shoes for every pair sold, the bottom line is that TOMS are just plain ugly.

CrossFit ABC123: Nature’s Garage Gym
As in, it’s as easy as the alphabet and numbers to CrossFit in Aspen even sans a gym! Ha, nerd. Also in that I live at this place in Aspen called ABC (Airport Business Center), which is actually 3 miles outside of downtown Aspen but is virtual heaven for dogs. And now for CrossFitters. This…
