We are one day away from the first RRCX series race at @loppetfoundation! Registration is now open through the link in bio. Day of registration will be available if you choose to do so but service fees will be added on, roughly $2-3 more. I can’t stress this enough but you will not be allowed to start if you don’t have a light. The only category tomorrow that you don’t need would be the Beginner/Novice category as it will be still light out during the duration of that. Another update, The Trailhead(the Loppet building) closes at 8pm. You will not have access to the building after 8pm so plan accordingly. You can use your previous bib numbers from TNCX. Brands or teams, please bring team tents, let’s make this massive! Lastly, course preview video is coming later tonight, stay tuned! Can’t wait for you all to come out and rip it up!

EZ Bike Club – Gateway Edition 🍁 Today, I rode into Maplewood and met up with the EZ Bike Club. There were some familiar faces that I had met two years ago as well as some new ones. It wasn’t long before we were in Stillwater and rolled out and over the bridge across the St. Croix River (the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin); a first for me by bike. One lesson I learned that I should have known from Kandie Gang: after years of riding together, they all got faster and stronger as a group. I rolled up on my Bridgestone XO-1 but next time I’ll have to ride my Merlin 🧙‍♂️ #ezbike #diversityisbeautiful #_offtheback_

Introducing JACLE the haunted bike ride. Halloween night. With stops at the grizzliest places in Northeast. So awful, it comes with a trigger warning. Meet at sunset in the alley behind Recovery Bike Shop. Rollout as soon as it’s truly dark (6:30). Light up your bike. Costumes welcome but not required. Bonus for dressing up your bike! The ride will be easy but the night will be horrible. (No jump scares, but you will be kinda freaked out after this.) Ends at the grave behind the John Cook House where we will join the Victorian Halloween party: bonfire, treats, tricks, and surprises.

Open Streets Hennepin was amazing! So many of you showed up on this glorious day and listened to Brazilian Hip Hop, had your kids spinning the wheel of happiness, shopped veggies and sketched, painted and sharpied bikes on our little postcards (to be shared soon). Minneapolis knows how to celebrate community and number one is showing up. I could not be happier about owning a business in this community. Thank You!

DID WE SAY THE SEASON WAS OVER? I think we meant the NON SPOOKY SEASON was over! Come get witchy in the woods with your fellow dirt legionaires and hoot and howl under the full moon! Join us on Oct 25th for our full moon ride! Don't forget to bring a headlamp, some snacks, and all the stoke one can muster for one of the funnest and most unique riding experiences the fall has to offer. If you've been curious about keeping your rubber on the dirt as the days get dark, this is a great time to learn about all you need to keep riding in the darkness! This is a no drop ride so plan for plenty of time to stop, chat, scope out features, and enjoy the dark with your new ghoul friends!

Change is the only constant. It’s coming either way. If there is no tool for change, change will just break stuff. Just because you build a dam, doesn’t mean the river stops coming. There has to be a way for the water to flow or the dam will break and there will be uncontrolled destruction. Voting is a way to let the raging waters flow as a consistent stream. If people don’t have a say in their own fate, they will get frustrated and start blaming. On a long enough timeline that frustration will boil over. But give people a say in society, and they will take responsibility for their own destiny. (They will blame themselves.) If you don’t want violent revolution, you need voting (or religion). Voting is societally approved revolution. We all agree to a tiny revolution every couple of years and nobody gets hurt. It’s the steam release valve. Woe to the country that stifles the voice of the people. That country continually moves toward violence. Vote. Vote now. Vote on Nov 3. Coffee (Outside) 10am Sunday at the early voting station (which will be closed while we are there): 980 E Hennepin, Minneapolis For more details: https://vote.minneapolismn.gov/voters/vote-early-in-person/ (link-in-bio) See you Sunday!

Thinking about riding the Mesabi Trail this fall? DO IT 🍂❤️✨ Do it and bring a friend with you. You’ll get to get amazing pictures and footage and get to know your buddy a little better. You can ride it in one day but make it two! The total distance is 165 but you only ride around 140. There’s so many beautiful things to see along the way and towns that offer good food and nicknacks to take home. The scenery keeps changing from forest to bridges with beautiful overlooks. It’s truly amazing, I want to go back already. If you know Ariah you know he rarely takes pictures when he’s on vacation or doing something cool. I’m glad I was able to get some cool shots of him.

Heck of the North 2026! 🍁 One of our faves every single year, @heckofthenorth events are well planned, welcoming, and located in some of the most beautiful places in MN. This year Bone Saw had riders on the 20, 50, and 100 mile gravel routes. The sunshine, fall colors, rolling hills, and mud pits made for a memorable day on the bike. A few riders even bumped into a tall North Woods friend 👀 Thanks to the wonderful organizers @heckofthenorth and the folks of Two Harbors. We will definitely be back!

We’re putting up donation bins for out at the start and the end asking for new wool clothing for our unhoused neighbors, who are facing state violence by homelessness in so called “Minneapolis/Saint Paul”. Winter approaches and policies enforced by violent racist and sexist systems, capitalist/class interests and greed have continued because Mayor Frey and Mayor Her have spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money to bulldoze and sweep encampments instead of providing solutions.. while being stuck to the pockets of outside developers and capitalists, thus furthering gentrification, trauma, and economic disparity, by fueling violent racist capitalism. Let’s organize wool goods and ride bikes together 🧦 where else should we pop up bins? Bring some new wool socks/clothing and/or come out and ride! :) October 18th, 10:30am bike paths and trails, stopping at Sochaki bike jumps for some tea and snacks. 🫖😋 Starting at @sharpsignco on Downling, 8ish miles, chill pace, no drop!

Day 13 of Pedal to the Polls! Click the link in our bio or comment SIGN and we will send you a DM to the website and petition to #savetheBWCA 432 miles pedaled another 800 or so to go! About 10 miles northwest of Park Rapids a truck honked waved, and looped back around to talk with us. She was a farmer hauling hay for her horses and a big Boundary Waters fan. Once she realized what we were doing she signed the canoe and petition, handed us a donation, and called her niece who drove up a few minutes later to sign the canoe as well. It was a fun way to start what ended up being our longest day yet, nearly 55 miles. About 15 of those miles were on soft gravel roads winding through farm land and the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. It was a beautiful ride with few cars and a tailwind, but when we reached pavement we were ready to kiss its smooth surface! Vote for Boundary Waters Champions! Follow @boundarywatersaction and learn about the candidates on your ballot that support permanent protection of the Boundary Waters from sulfide-ore copper mining.

Last night’s DJ Ride was marvelous! A little rain at the start just made the campfire that much more of a pleasure. Our voter engagement booth was a busy place tonight. The DJ sets got everyone wiggling while riding and dancing at the stops. @deveric got us rolling out of the shop, @elliottforward1 got his groove on as we rolled to Lilac Park and @mrblaq got us back to the shop. We ate over 100 s’mores! That may have been the last official DJ Ride of 2026, but it is definitely not our last DJ Ride. @joyfulridersclub , Perennial Cycle & @deveric have plans started for 2027 and they are equally marvelous to 2026. It’s amazing to organize these rides and consistently have a joyful, heartfelt night filled with fun and love. Minneapolis is so, so good at this kind of stuff. Thanks Thanks to all who joined us!

Meet us at Central Ave where 36th should be (just south of the railroad tracks). Did you have any idea this was here? Haven’t said this in a while, so… Coffee (Outside) is about getting to know Northeast’s people and places. It’s a low key hang with neighbors and friends in a different spot in Northeast Minneapolis every Sunday. We’ll have some treats to share. Hope you can make it! (Hint: bring your own coffee ;) Feel free to join us for yoga by @halenanne at the bike shop at 9am. Easy class. We even have mats to borrow. And we launch the NE Community Ride from Coffee (Outside) each week at about 11am. This one is about activating our neighborhoods to make our streets feel more comfortable for people. It’s free, open to all, and created to foster community. And that’s you! #NortheastMinneapolis #ExploreByBike #Urbanism

What a sweet morning riding and marshaling the @bicyclealliancemn Loons Loop! Both girls did the full 4.5-mile route. I heard someone say of Zosia, “That little one in the pink helmet was so determined.” Thanks to Ted, Erik, and Angela from Bike MN for organizing and including @joyfulridersclub in the fun. The treats from @loonscoffee were delicious! Make sure you check out the @twincitiesbiketour next weekend. These folks put their whole hearts into these events and their organization does a lot to make Minnesota a better place to ride for people of all abilities. 📷 @noonan.erik

I’ve made it a tradition to do something special with my bike for my birthday. This year, I biked the Mesabi Trail. 150 miles of being present, reflecting, taking in everything around me, and really thinking about where I am in life. Long rides have always been therapy for me. I get to see places I probably would’ve never seen otherwise, appreciate how far my body can carry me, and have hours where there’s really nothing to do but pedal, breathe, observe, and think. Lately, I’ve been thinking more about what I want to do with this life I’ve been given and what direction I want to take from here. Choices really do matter in determining the direction your life takes, just like they do on a bike. You can take one turn and end up at a dead end, while another might lead you somewhere more beautiful than you expected. I may not have taken every right turn in my life. Some of my choices have created major detours. But those detours have taught me a lot about myself. Even after everything, I still find a way to keep moving. I’m 36 now, and 40 doesn’t feel as far away as it once did. These next few years, I want to be more intentional about where my life is headed, what I want to build, what I want to experience, and how I use the tools I already have. 150 miles didn’t give me all the answers. But it gave me enough quiet to hear myself a little clearer. Maybe that’s what I needed from this ride 🍃✨💕 #bikingwithbaddies #bikelife #nature #fyp #reflection

HAPPY VERSUS CROSS T SHIRT DAY!!! Thank you for your patience while our humble little creative committee cooked up this shirt for you to wear. No Gods, No USAC, all Comfort Colors. Available in S-3X. Already reg’d and now you want a shirt? Spectating only but wanna look fly while you do? No problem! Hop on bike reg and you can still snag one. There will be a small supply available on race weekend, but if you recall last year they were gone before the first race even started. DON’T MISS OUT AND GET SHIRT NOW! Also if you haven’t reg’d you should do that because it’s going to be a good time and you’ll want to experience it live (we’re still looking for volunteers!)

I'm giving @arhighcountryrace another go. The race starts on Saturday at 6:30am out of Bentonville. I'm rocking the same setup as last year with no significant changes, other than a brand new saddle I just got yesterday. Because that's obviously a great idea. I just swapped my Fizik Arione for the 3D printed Adaptive version, so I'm not too worried about it. Same shape and width, just a tad shorter nose. Anyway....see ya on the other side of the 1,019 mile route. You can follow along on Trackleaders. (Link in my bio) 📸@kaicaddy

Twin Cities Bike Tour Presents the Loons Loop, this Saturday, October 3rd! The Loons Loop is now available the week before the Twin Cities Bike Tour! Enjoy a kid-rider friendly 4.5 Mile Route along and across the Mississippi, or a NEW 2 Mile Strider-Friendly Route – 99% Trails! This FREE ride is capped at 150 riders to keep down route congestion and keep the group together, so register soon! Check-in begins at 8:30am at Brackett park with activities for kids and adults alike (there are bathrooms and playground in the immediate vicinity). We will roll out together at 9am heading east on the Midtown Greenway until we hit the river. Those doing the main 4.5 mile route will head north on West River Parkway Trail and across the Franklin Bridge with beautiful views of the Mississippi River. From there we’ll head south along East River Parkway trail until we get to the Lake Street Bridge and cross there to Loons Coffee for refreshments and socializing. Those doing the 2 mile Out-n-Back Stride-n-Stroll will take a right when we get to West River Pkwy at a slower pace (think tykes on striders while an adult walks or jogs alongside them) and meets the rest of the group at Loons Coffee. We’ll all head the same direction back to the start after refreshments and treats. We aim to return to Bracket Park before noon. What does this cost? Nada, zilch, zero, but donations to cover costs are certainly appreciated.

Peace and blessings y’all. @bikingwithbaddies and @heckofthenorth presented an incredible opportunity and sponsored three riders to register for their annual gravel bike race in Two Harbors, MN. And, this event was much more than any of us could’ve ever hoped for; It was simply incredible.  It included camping at a stunning 20 acre farm not far from the gravel race start and ending point, Castle Danger Brewery. We arrived at the farm the evening prior and were welcomed by some phenomenal volunteers and a bonfire which included s’mores. The farm set the scene for a piercing full moon, a beautiful sunrise, and brilliant fall colors. Thank you to our hosts as well as the volunteers at the gravel race checkpoints, who were amazing. I want to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to everyone who assisted in making the event a success. The Heck of the North Gravel Cycling Classic is one of Minnesota's most storied and rugged fall gravel cycling races. The gravel ride was beautiful along the North Shore. It included stunning autumn foliage, demanding terrain, stream crossings, wet and slippery mud sections, as well as epic rock garden inclines and descents. It was truly the Heck Of The North. After the race we got some BBQ in Two Harbors and it was super delicious. I highly recommend the loaded Mac and Cheese with Brisket. However, after a long day in the saddle only a loaded baked potato with Brisket will do. After dinner and hanging out with some of other jazzed up race participants, we packed up the vehicle and headed back to the Twins Cities. It was surreal feeling knowing we had just accomplished something special. And, I was very  thankful I had good people with me for the ride. The 100-mile Heck Of The North gravel route was exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time. I am simply amazed and impressed by the athletes that took this year’s gravel race podium. Keep up the incredible work everyone! Most importantly, I look forward to our next adventure together. 📷 credit: @quinten_frazier

Tare Market has put out a call for help. This summer Minneapolis has been reconstructing the streets that provide access to their business (and several other businesses) and that means the flow of customers has been turned into a trickle. This is how construction works in our city (and most American cities). Every few years we decimate our business districts with road construction and then we charge them for it. Construction in Minneapolis is SLOW. A small project like this generally takes an entire summer (the road construction season) while other countries condense similar projects down to a few weeks. Other cities actually subsidize businesses during the slow down. Condensing the construction timeline keeps local businesses from going bankrupt. It preserves jobs. It protects communities. It costs more and so Minneapolis doesn’t do it. FYI, Tare Market is a packaging-free business. In a world where just 9% of plastics are recycled (and badly), owner/operator Amber decided to make a better way. Not only is Tare Market making it easy for our community to Reduce and Reuse, they’re also setting the example for the rest of us to follow. Coffee (Outside) 10am Sunday. Address is 945 Broadway Street NE, Suite 103 Minneapolis, MN 55413 But I’m not going to tell you how to get there. I want you to work for it. I want you to have to fight through the construction. I want you to see the craziness that Tare Market’s customers have had to deal with to get to Tare Market (and @bauhausbrewlabs and @dogwoodcoffee and and @padraigsbrewing ) and a whole host of other small local businesses that are all choking to death while Minneapolis has been turning one of our last walkable streets into another street only for cars (but that’s another story). Coffee (Outside) is just a hang with neighbors and friends. There are treats to share. Hope you can make it! Feel free to join us for yoga at the bike shop at 9am. Easy class. We even have mats to borrow. And we launch the NE Community Ride from Coffee (Outside) each week at about 11am. This one is about activating our neighborhoods to make our streets feel more comfortable for people. #IBikeNE #StoreFront #GroupRide #Urbanism

@mosaiccycles makes some of our favorite Ti bikes. Dream bikes for sure! We sent this bike home a few months ago and it’s been getting a bunch of mileage logged. Built with as much @chriskingbuzz that would fit on it and a full @envecomposites parts kit it looks as good as it rides. Our builds are getting caught up so fall is a great time to start thinking about your next bike, whether it be a Mosaic or what ever your heart desires we’re here for you. #angrycatfish #mosaiccycles

Saturday morning is a great time to get outside and help care for what we love. One of my favorite parts of Utepils is the outdoor space by Basset Creek. **Cleanup from 9-11, meet at Bassett Creek Playground, located at Chestnut and Thomas. **Come whenever you can. See the link for more info. **Would you consider coming out to help with this? ** We provide all supplies but it's **ideal if you have tall boots or even waders**. Will have some snacks there too and of course a beer afterward is a must.

We had a great turnout for the 3rd edition of 'Twenty-Six Inch Tuesday' on Sept. 22nd, 2026. Hosted by @behindbarsbicycleshop shop ambassadors Andy @andyanastigmat and Nick @nick_hooper99 in support. Some beautiful examples of stock vintage and modded 26ers from the 1980's and 90's to contemporary 26" models like the @stridsland_journal Beachcomber in attendance. Our route took us to a couple skills parks and we ended at @pryesbrewing for drinks and pizza. Really enjoyed meeting new faces and riding with friends. Thanks for coming everyone! #behindbarsbicycleshop #twentysixinchtuesday #26aintdead 26inchlifestyle #minneapolis

Throwback to Bone Saw Retreat 2026 🪚🦴 A favorite event of the yearly calendar! Bone Saw Retreat is a time when we kick back and spend time with one another! This year we went up to Cuyuna to get some dirt time, camped, watched a storm roll in from paddle boards, made some dope meals, and learned more about each other!

Group ride to Open Streets, Nicollet edition. For one day only Nicollet will be closed to cars (Lake St to 46th) which will make it open to people and give us a taste of what a walkable city could be like. Open Streets is a rare opportunity to enjoy one of Mpls busiest streets without the threat of traffic. 16 blocks will be walkable (and bikeable) for one day. Note: other cities (like Mexico City) do this weekly and at a much larger scale. The bike bus group ride leaves Recovery Bike Shop at 11am Saturday, but you can join the ride wherever it’s convenient. Check out the route map. Station times are estimates. And Open Streets is the best! #OpenStreets #Urbanism #BikeBus #Woonerf #MeetMinneapolis
