This is Eric McKenna of Airborne Bicycles. He’s got the whole badassery thing down. Check him out at his recent trip to Snowshoe. See that jersey he’s wearing.

On Saturday I gathered the troops and decided to shuttle Santiago Oaks. Mind you anyone can easily pedal up the top of the ridge to enjoy the mild downhill sections, but we didn’t feel like climbing, so we loaded up the cars to start our adventure. This ride gave me the opportunity to try out…
Check it out kids! This is the first photo we took when the Orange Tuxedo MtnBikeRiders.com jersey came in today. Big thanks to those that pre-ordered, and for the folks who missed out, maybe next time.
