As the previous Brews Days will show, I’m partial to darker beers. But, as promised, this brews day deal won’t be centralized in one style of brewing.

Check out what I got while I was Interbike 2007. It’s an autographed KHS Bicycles Catalog with Melissa Buhl on the cover. She said I’m Super Rad, so that means its true!

This week’s Tech Tip will be the proper way of lubing your chain. When putting lube on your chain, make sure you place it on both the inside… and outside sections of the chain. Make sure you get all the links pretty wet. Spin the cranks a few turns making sure you run through all…
