-
  






   "A person has two hands. One for helping himself, the other is for helping others". 

Join us Sunday Dec 15th at 8am while we help others and ride Gravel For the Love of It - Part Four. This is a fundraiser for our neighborhood Wentzville School in which every dollar raised will be put into their Love Fund. The Love Fund loves on kids whose families are going through tough times and helps pay for items they cannot afford, such as school lunches, field trips, special holiday events,  etc.... In the last three years almost $4000 has been raised! Thank you! 

If you are unable to make the event and would like to make a donation please send me a FB message or email me at sheridesbikes321@gmail.com. 

Here are three suggested routes for this 2019. 

Route ONE is roughly 13 miles and is perfect for beginners.  A mix of paved Greenway trail and Katy and Hamburg trails.

Simple Tips To Survive Epic Adventures

-

My husband, myself, and our daughter The three of us recently returned from an absolutely epic adventure. This trip was a bucket list item and a great way to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary.  My hubby, 13 year old daughter and myself would be driving to Yellowstone National Park, a mere 1300 miles +/- from our MO home and spend two weeks traveling from one beautiful place to another.  Having purchased a new Subaru Outback in March we couldn't think of a better way to break it in. We also invested in the Sandpiper style ROOFNEST , a great investment in what we do. Check out their website, they have several different models. Jim and I would sleep on top of the car and our teen would sleep in the Subaru (She would be sleeping like a princess... on a puffy air mattress, two pillows, and several fleece blankets).  We purchased a portable  dehumidifier  pack to keep condensation off the windows and slipped an air freshener under the seat to ...

Nothing Grows In The Comfort Zone

"All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them".  -Walt Disney Comfort zone:  A place or situation where one feels safe or at ease without stress.  I hate to admit this but I am completely ruled by my habits and my routines.  By having these habits and routines I have made my life very comfortable, very safe and easy. In fact, I have made it too comfortable.  One day this past January I had a thought... My life is cozy like a warm fuzzy blanket from the dryer, it's become too casual and too small.  As humans we are wired to be creatures of comfort, enjoy what feels good, settle in and relax. Once we get comfortable we tend to forget to try new things.  I have forgotten to try new things, especially those I am fearful of. That is why I want to step it up a notch, Hell, step it up two notches.  Keep in mind that what may be uncomfortable for me might not invoke the same feelings in you.  We are all different when it ...

Lauf Grit Takes On The DK200

This post almost got lost. I found it in the archives and thought it would be good to post since my Warbird is still rockin' the Lauf Grit fork.  I LOVE IT!   Dear Guys and Gals at Lauf, First of all I want to thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your Dirty Dozen Team.  You all sure hand picked a STELLAR group of individuals to represent the Lauf Grit Garvel Fork! I can say that with confidence because I know most of the Dirty Dozen personally. In fact, I finished my 1st DK200 with Chad (in 2012), a couple years I was able to ride with Bobby (until he got speedy), Chris and I rode together last year and finished within a few minutes of each other (and I know his wife), Don B. is a good friend and magnificent cheerleader (going for a Goblet!), Jimmy is a first-rate fella I have ridden with at a couple DK's and sadly one year I passed him 'relaxing" in a ditch. What's really COOL is that there were FIVE on this team going for Goblets (the DK200 5x award)! ...
