Review: Tifosi Duro Sunglasses
I took to the Duro glasses very naturally. The light weight, solid coverage, and sporty features combine with a rather casual styling quite nicely. But don’t get confused: these are performance glasses through and through. Since I picked them up at Interbike in September, I’ve ridden well over a thousand miles with these on my face.

Returning to the Monarch Crest after a 5-Year Absence: Why Did I Ever Leave?
.jpg)
I first rode the Monarch Crest back in 2008, and while we had been through Salida several times since then, I hadn’t had a chance to ride the crest again. That first ride, back in 2008, was hellaciously daunting, yet fantastically memorable. Thanks to a wrong turn, getting caught in a rain storm without a jacket, destroying my chain and cassette, and being forced to bail off the route early, it was quite the experience, to say the least.
After a five-year absence, I finally returned.

News: WTB Releases New High Tail Saddle
The cutaway rear of the saddle is designed to provide additional tire clearance when the suspension is fully compressed.

Ride Report: Hardesty Mountain and South Willamette Trail, Oakridge, Oregon

After doing a good bit of reading and a lot of staring at my map, I settled on the Hardesty Mountain shuttle.

Ride Report: Larison Rock + Off the Bike in Oakridge
Flying between the trunks of massive trees at extremely high speeds with a sheer drop off on one side is a white-knuckle experience. Even though I tried to let off the brakes and flow as much as possible, I think my pads were still sizzling in an effort to control the steep, treacherous freefall back down the flanks of Larison Rock.
