 Who is

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.

Belgian the F*ck Up: BWR Montana Brings the Pain to Bozeman

The inaugural Belgian Waffle Ride Montana didn’t just arrive in Bozeman—it kicked the door down, left tire tracks through the living room, and poured a cold recovery beer on the way out. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Montana’s vast gravel playgrounds, the first-ever BWR MT delivered a day that tested the sadists of the saddle and gave us the “Hell of the Bozone” in all its glory.
