Review: Empire – Bad Idea

July 20, 2012

I’ve probably told this story a hundred times by now, but that’s fine. Flash back a few years ago to I think it was the 2008 NORA Cup during Interbike.

Coalition – Summer Setbacks Trip

July 20, 2012

Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches to make the best out of any situation. It looks like Coalition‘s Jeff Wescott and Tammy McCarley did just that.

“Throughout the course of two weeks, both Jeff Wescott and Tammy McCarley ran into about every problem they could have. From cancelled flights, extremely hot weather conditions, car troubles, bike troubles, bad luck with the public and the police, ect… To say the least the majority of the trip did not go too smooth by any means. However, they managed to fight through the complications and have an amazing time either way. Here’s their “Summer Setbacks Trip” from 14 days in Chillinois. Enjoy!
