Ride Review: Lauren Mehl’s Lynskey GR300

Alright, let’s go! Today, we’ve got Lauren Mehl’s 2022 Lynskey GR300 tie gravel bike. It’s a pretty rad custom build with some cool bags, an ergonomic cockpit, and a groupset from SRAM. Lauren is super active in the Queer cycling scene. She’s a co-founder of Queer Plus Bikes, Board Member of Friends of FoCo Fondo, and co-founder of Joy Ride (coming soon). I had a blast shooting her Lynskey, so do me a solid and check it out.

DesFit Review: Garmin Varia RearVue 820

In his latest review, DesFit takes a detailed look at the new Garmin Varia RearVue 820, breaking down what Garmin improved and who this upgrade is really for. Released in February 2026, the RearVue 820 builds on Garmin’s radar legacy with a brighter 100-lumen tail light, expanded 175-meter vehicle detection, brake light functionality, and more advanced vehicle tracking when paired with compatible Edge computers or the Varia app. Des dives into real world usability, battery life, and whether the added features justify the price compared to previous Varia models and competing radar units.

Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant

Much like New Belgium Brewing, the Rio is synonymous with Fort Collins cycling. Patrick McGaughran, the owner of all five Colorado Rios opened the first restaurant here in Fort Collins in 1986. He first sponsored an elite road team in 1999. His title sponsorship of that team continues nearly 25 years later and has catapulted riders like Tejay van Garderen, Chad Haga and Mara Abbot into the World Tour.
