2016 Dirt Jam Event and Race Report
Like most events at 718 Cyclery, Dirt Jam was born out of some random ideas, and the desire to bring people together who enjoy off-road riding. The random idea was to put on a race/event that was more of a fun celebration than just a race. Location was Cunningham Park in Queens, NYC.
The Titans of Tuesday: Hail and Farewell
As we move towards introducing our Saturday Shop Rides , I want to pause and remember the genesis of our riding program...The Titans of Tuesday. The Titans of Tuesday were born in July 2014 in Utah. I had let Chris Kelly of Topanga Creek convince me that we as a shop needed more time outside the shop. At the time, this was my second trip to Utah for mountain-biking, and I returned to Brooklyn ready to go on some rides and spread the good word.
2015 Saddle Drive
I never thought at this stage in my life I'd be able to say, "I've been to Utah a bunch of times", but here we are. This summer I was again fortunate enough to have been invited to Quality Bike Product's Saddle Drive event in Ogden/ Snow Basin , Utah.
