No Country For Spandex April 24, 2012

Our own Sandy Carson is just back from a trip out to far West Texas. He wrote up a little journal post…

This road is featured in the movie 'No country For Old Men', but where does it end?

This road is featured in the movie 'No country For Old Men', but where does it end?

Just been out to the West Texas desert last week, for a couple of photo assignments in Marfa and Marathon.  Of course, having time to kill, I had to take the road bike and take advantage of the epic rides and cinematic scenery there. Nothing like being eaten up by an endless expanse of Chihuahuan Desert to clear the head.

Fairdale Team News: Sandy Carson Just Do It project April 16, 2012

Sandy has a little write up over on Feature Shoot.com about his on going cat trapping series.

I love to tease Sandy about being a crazy cat person but in reality he’s just a nice guy who wants to save kitties from a life on the streets.

Read more about what he’s up to (and marvel at some telling photos) here.

Fairdale friends news April 2, 2012

Fairdale friend Ryan Worcester is helping some kids out with a skatepark. Looks like a really cool program. The kids get to learn how to run the park, maintain the park and of course have fun at the park. There’s a little video on the kickstarter page that’s worth a watch here.

Sandy Carson launched an entirely rebuilt website. It’s pretty amazing with in depth looks at some of his projects. I especially like (and am disturbed by) the “Just Do It” project feed that the photo above is from. Check out Sandy’s work here.

All proceeds from the race will be going to the American Red Cross.

Get out there and pedal your butt up a hill, or cheer on the riders. If you’re lucky you might walk away with a brand new Fairdale frame and fork set!

Check out details of the race here.
