It's 4:00 a.m. and I'm pedaling my bike through the desert, hoping that my lights will not run out of battery power. My I-phone has died so I no longer have music playing to distract me from the soreness in my hands and butt. My back is aching with a pain caused from a wreck that happened eight hours earlier. The pain has been steadily getting worse, a pain that I know is slowing me down every lap. I decide the silence is better because my senses are alive, keeping me in tun

Fat biking, a relatively new side of our beloved sport of cycling, should definitely not be overlooked. Fat bike season is in full swing, and I have been enjoying every freezing experience. From racing to everyday training, it has been a major focal point for me these past couple of months. I have succeeded in one event, and unfortunately, failed in another. Outcomes aside, this is one form of cycling that I am absolutely in love with, and encourage everyone to give it a try!
