Brendan's Bike Blog: August 2013
http://brendansbikeblog.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 19, 2013. Making the tough decisions. First the good. I think I still have some fast in my legs, as I finally broke 38 min at a Murphy TT. That is the fastest it has ever been done and a good sign that my legs and high end are there even w/ the frequency of racing down. If you haven't been to a Murphy TT, come on out for a great time with free beer, pop and food after! I got this from Mike Pfeiffers GPS (he finished strong and looked the best of anyone! Will I go back? No way. I think ...

Tuesday, July 23, 2013. Because CANCER SUCKS some great people put together the Rhino Rally 5 hour race at Murphy Hanrehan to benefit families going through tough times.

Brendan's Bike Blog: FBB and Fat Bike Season Wrap
http://brendansbikeblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/fbb-and-fat-bike-season-wrap.html
Monday, March 10, 2014. FBB and Fat Bike Season Wrap. The blog is not dead.just less, well practically no, time for it! Wolf Tooth Components has taken all my spare and not spare time. Anyway, I started the Fat Bike season with 5 races locally on mostly single track trails. I probably didn't run above 5 PSI in any of those races.the snow has been DEEP! It is always an honor to race with a legend. On equipment, the 9:Zero:7 Whiteout. And I couldn't ask for a better racing and riding Fat Bike! View my comp...

Brendan's Bike Blog: September 2013
http://brendansbikeblog.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. I have not fallen off the face of the racing scene as one racer suggested to me last weekend at Chequamegon 100! I finished out the season exactly how I wanted to with 2 really fun race weekends.=) I also ended up with around 25 races on the year. right where I wanted to be. After MDH100, I did a weekday off road time trial (at Murphy Hanrehan) and my time was the same as before MDH so I was pretty sure I avoided any detrimental effects from the heat. We lined up on a crisp mo...

Brendan's Bike Blog: Bust
http://brendansbikeblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/bust.html
Monday, June 24, 2013. Racing this year in MN and WI has kind of been a bust with the weather =( The weather has left us all monitoring the radar and twitter feeds daily for trail conditions (racing or just riding). Anyway, here is my early season update, well almost mid season now I guess:. Plus, I have done enough muddy Red Wing races for a lifetime. Now, if it would just not rain for more than 24 hours. Bummer about the Cheq100. I was looking forward to seeing the results. For the rest of your...I mus...

Brendan's Bike Blog: New Bikes and Factory Demo!
http://brendansbikeblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/new-bikes-and-factory-demo.html
Wednesday, May 15, 2013. New Bikes and Factory Demo! Ok, so this is a long time coming on the new bikes, but here goes a brief overview of my new rides. Superfly Pro SL Hardtail and 100 (Dually). I stripped the XX drivetrains off and am running my much preferred Shimano XTR groups as 1x10 with a WTC chainring. I also put on XTR brakes. Anyone that has ridden XTR brakes probably agrees that they are the best performing disc brakes ever (I have ridden LOTS different kinds). Hopefully the weather cooperates.
