Prasanna's S-Works Epic EVO
- Posted on
A more muted colorway in the Crux Pro style paint scheme, Maurice's Crux Force AXS XPLR is destined for the Flint Hills next summer.
From concept to reality, this Faran 2.0 is the perfect bike for a 35 mile round-trip daily commute, and thousands of miles in the saddle touring across the USA throughout the year.
Hearing the slow rise of your alarm at 3am is never a welcome sound. No matter how jacked you are for whatever is getting you up at that ungodly hour, it's tough. This morning, I can say I'd be alright pulling the covers back around me rather than opening the front door of the Hungry Hippie Hostel, perched high on the hills overlooking Lake Superior just north of Grand Marais to check on the weather. My phone forecast couldn't be right, it'd deteriorated every time I'd checked it. 35 degrees with a 20, 30, 40, 75, nope, 90% chance of rain. Temps dropping to 27 degrees and that rain turning to snow around 7:30am. Stacked on top of that, the big cherry, 30mph sustained winds. If you're at home and considering a morning spin and you see those conditions, maybe you hop on the trainer, or most likely you fall back asleep for the foreseeable future. When you've enticed 10 other riders to join you on a backwoods expedition no matter what the circumstances, you shake your head and laugh when you open the front door of the cabin and everything is blowing around in the dark and the rain starts hitting you in the face...
