Had a great ride yesterday.
Thank you @fakemountains for putting me on to this ride. Bryan @utilitybicycleworks for having such chill ride to @goomoscafe for pizza.

A great ride, good people and pizza. What else do you need?

Another fun and successful Rivendell meetup! Many thanks to all who showed up and of course @utilitybicycleworks and @bdalik for organizing. If you need a guy to photoshop a Riv cap on to Julie Andrews, I’m here for you. And please ignore my beard scarf. 🤷🏻‍♂️🧙‍♂️ #rivbike #lugsnotdrugs #steelisreal #astralgraveling #quickbeam taken in Wallkill Valley Rail Trail by @fakemountains

Third annual (?) @gunksnotdead was one for the ages. Biggest one yet and I’m sure a lot of folks are saying the best one so far. Took a week+ to recover and we are still feeling the love and support from this incredible community. Thanks for being there, thanks for helping out, thanks for your patience, thanks for your sense of adventure, and we will see what next year brings! Got more to say but let’s start with this. Yall are the absolute best. ✌️❤️🍻 taken in Gunks by @fakemountains

Nutmeg Nor’easter IX: I am pretty sure it was impossible to add any more fun to this past weekend. Thanks to @ronsbikes @badd_buddhist @fireinthekitchenpizza @coldspringfarmct and everyone else involved. I haven’t missed a #nutmegnoreaster yet. Grateful for this community of misfits & likeminded folks. ✌️❤️🍕🍁 #crustbikes #ronsbikes #ultradynamico #lugsnotdrugs #steelisreal #astralgraveling by @fakemountains

D2R2 was fantastic this year! Perfect weather, great people, and a fun route with a slightly spicy jeep trail excursion. 53 miles, 3100 feet of elevation, no complaints. Thanks @franklinlandtrust for a lovely event, I’ll be back next year for my 12th time! #crustbikes #ronsbikes #ultradynamico #steelisreal #astralgraveling taken in Deerfield, Massachusetts by @fakemountains

Dodged the rain Saturday and had a pretty killer ride with the chillest folks. Thanks so much @horsecycles for the hospitality and generosity. Shoutout to @mikenoomin for that modified route. ✌️❤️🍻 #crustbikes #ronsbikes #ultradynamico #astralgraveling taken in Bovina, New York by @fakemountains
