Mountain biking the states, it's that simple. If you read Bike Mag at all, there was a VERY cool story last month about a free spirited individual named Craig Bierly. This guy spent his early working career in a management position at a foundry, then worked for Boeing for many years before being persuaded by the force to sell everything, buy the now infamous Sprinter Van, and travel the country "Mountain Biking The States". We at Squirt Lube caught wind of this journey and contacted Craig to try and get him some of our lube to check out by dropping at one of his journey check points. Well, to make a long story short, Bierly had already started using Squirt through a tip in Hurricane, Utah where they love the stuff, and he has been a Squirt Head ever since. Just so happened he was passing through my hood this week and we hooked up for some good ol lightning dodging and then a rock solid loop on the Boneyard once the storm passed. Craig's trip is now Squirt Lube sponsored.
Here it is, "the Sprinter" right in front of the Mountain Pedaler in Eagle.
Craig chats with Bart Sigler in the shop as we wait out the weather after getting chased off of Tick Alley by the lightening...one of mountain biking's true characters, it was very cool to spend a day on the bike and a post race beer with the guy, the ultimate free spirit who turns 60 next month...
