We had the fortune of catching up with TJ Eisenhart for a bit on Friday before the Belgian Waffle Ride in Cedar City, Utah. We'll have more of that conversation as we dive into Who IS TJ. Until then and in short, TJ is:
- a cyclist
- an artist 
- and an all around purveyor of positivity  
Also in possession of a new Santa Cruz Stigmata, laced out to his liking and that's what we'll be looking at today.

ALMSTHRE bike bags, GET LOST!

We believe in getting lost, because sometimes we need to lose your way to find ourselves. We believe life is more rich around the corner, crossingover to where possibilities, opportunities and adventure await like treasure chests, new lovers and enlightenment. We believe in taking risks, straying, playing and escaping. We’re in love with everything that breaks the grip of caution on our getting up and leaving for a BIGGER day.

Team Best MAAP Equinox ride: "A Million Feet, One Smile at a Time"

The goal was deceptively simple: as a group, climb 1,000,000 feet in a single day on San Diego's Mt. Soledad. At first glance, it might sound monotonous or downright tedious, but scratch the surface, and you'll find an endless maze of roads winding their way up to the summit. The real kicker? No matter which route you took, each lap only netted you a mere 700-1,000 feet of elevation gain. A million feet? Yeah, it was a grind—but somehow, everyone did it with a smile.
