Hello hello then.

Do you live in a desert? Do you ride a bike? Awesome. This magazine is for you.

Don’t live in a desert? That’s ok. You’re totally welcome to hang.

Printed versions of the magazine can be purchased at cost online through Blurb. No profit margins, just the cost for printing & shipping (with applicable taxes). A limited batch of free issues will be handed out at group bike rides, so say “hey!” when you see me and ask for a copy. Free print copies are first come, first serve, and a limited quantity.

We’re a special kind of crazy.

Biking year round with intense sun, 110° summer temps, weaving through cacti, racing dust storms. Sounds fun. I’m in.
