Saddle Slingers: Grodeo Ride Report

Written by Kate Thayer, on Jul 06, 2022

First things first...meet Chrissy! Chrissy is the latest Saddle Slinger! She’s been preparing and training for the event in the past few months on the down low, but was stoked nonetheless to come out and rep the Saddle Slingers in the Grodeo gravel race. Since we haven’t had the chance...
Saddle Slingers: Behind the Jersey

Saddle Slingers: Behind the Jersey

Written by Kate Thayer, on Jun 30, 2022

With any kick-ass group there must be an accompanying kick-ass shirt (obviously). It’s for this exact reason that the Saddle Slingers needed their very own snazzy jersey. Out of this necessity, one such snazzy jersey was indeed created. SHOP THE SADDLE SLINGERS JERSEYS  Our riders KJ and Madi had a lot...

Beautiful Bicycle - A Santa Cruz Chameleon That Stands Out

Written by Alvin Holbrook, on Jun 16, 2022

We don’t see chameleons all that often in Utah, so it's a treat when we do. While they’re known for their thousand-mile stare, the chameleon is best known for their ability to change their look between tones both bright or muted, purely based on environment and mood. That’s how we...
