This past weekend my beautiful wife gave me a wonderful trip full of surprises! Her sister flew in, then we travelled Bishop, CA for biking and climbing. While there we met with our good friends Al and Erin, and some new friends as well! Aubrey shuttled me on a high-mountain bike ride, and I got to climb the infamous Pratt's Crack! Thanks so much to Aubrey and everyone who contributed to such a memorable birthday! @cattlepups @addison.cameron @eshawphysio @evilbicycles @shotgunaids @annikanrockwalker #birthday #climbing #rockclimbing #tradisrad #offwidth #mountainbike #traildog #trailpup #mtblife (at Las Vegas, Nevada)

Got to ride with the British Army today! (at Cowboy Trail Rides)

Dear followers, Thank you all for the support you've shown. From training with me, to coming out to the race to see me off. I truly appreciate all of the assistance I've received. Unfortunately I won't be racing again for the foreseeable future. The cost without a sponsorship has become prohibitive. On the bright side I'll be doing more group rides, so I hope you all will join me! And always remember: #doepicshit Thank you, -Jon (at Las Vegas, Nevada)

Pushing past several mechanical failures, a wrong turn that cost me more than half an hour, and many other setbacks I was able to pull off a two-lap finish at the True Grit Epic! Thanks for all the support @cattlepups @truthoholic @akg_mtb @thischickridesmtb And Barry Winters! #truegritepic #ultraendurance #mtbrace (at Santa Clara City, Utah)

The Kona is almost race ready! After a complete overhaul I upgraded the brake pads & rotors, switched out the saddle to Brooks Cambium, installed lighter SPD pedals, and of course, new ESI Extra Chunky grips! GPS is handled by a Garmin Edge 820 Explore, I'll be running a single 25oz CamelBak Podium Chill water bottle, and I've taped most of my necessary gear to the bike frame. Stay tuned for race updates! @konabikes @esigrips @garmin @brooksengland @fox @rideshimano @camelbak #truegritepic #heretowin #bikevault #bikecheck #heihei #mtbrace #mtb #konabikes (at St. George, Utah)
