Massachusetts, USA

Weekend Snapshot

By Brad Hammonds

After spending the holidays in warmer weather down south, I enjoyed my first ride of the new year over the weekend. The icy gravel tracks outside of Boston turned into more of a slide than a ride, but it was great to be off the trainer and back outside. My bike is a Spoon Customs with an ENVE setup and Fulcrum SHARQ 42 wheels.

Florida, USA

Weekend Snapshot

By Jaron Wilson

Visiting my hometown in Florida for the holidays usually means some kind of bikepacking trip with my brother. This photo was shot on a sunset cruise to Lake George the night before we set off on an overnighter.

Minnesota, USA

Weekend Snapshot

By Jason Boucher

A scene from the Minnesota River Bottoms in winter. Just in case you were wondering, riding bikes on trails is pretty awesome.
