This Or That with Danny Soltan
You don’t know what you’ve got ’till it up and moves to Boston. While Danny has flown the proverbial coop and moved to Massachusetts, developed a wicked pissah accent and got even deeper into cyclocross, he’s still 3TQM through and through. He offers an East Coast look at this year’s ThisOrThat, confirms the squads nearly unanimous move to a…
This or That with Sean Kickbush
It seems like only yesterday. Sean showed up to a group ride on a 40 pound 29er, crashed, got lost, and disappeared. He was hooked. Now, he’s one of the fastest riders in the state and has developed a taste for gravel, adventure, and a really good croissant. Whenever he isn’t slinging coffee at Brew, he’s…
This or That with Jay Ellis
Jay Ellis is like flour. He doesn’t get the top billing too often, but he’s what keeps he scone together while fancy fruits and chocolate chips make the placard.
This or That with Al McWilliams
In case your calendar is broken, it’s a whole new year. We’re going to mark the occasion by re-introducing the 2019 3T Q+M line-up. Most of these dudes you already know, but how well do you know them? Do you know if Al likes french fries or onion rings? Coffee or tea? Learn about the squad at the…
Deep Thoughts with Luke Mullis
We don’t just hand over a pair of pajamas to anyone, so it’s a real testament to the quality rider and person when another rider joins our ranks. We’re very happy to welcome Michigan wunderkind and all-around class act Luke Mullis to the squad for 2019. Even at the tender age of twenty, Luke already…
Iceman Cometh Challenge: Four Riders, One Mission…Not Last
You gotta earn these #plusgyle PJs, and you earn them by toeing the line against the best riders at the biggest races.
Iron Cross and Peak2Peak Round-Up: Snow Way You’ll Believe This Weather
When Sean, Danny, and Jay headed to Pennsylvania, they thought they’d be avoiding bad weather forecasted in Michigan. They were wrong. Dead wrong.
Swisse Femme Equipe
Every year, about halfway through Le Tour, rumors about 2019 start swirling. Talk of new sponsors, rider transfers and equipment swaps replace the castle-chat on the commentary. It’s no different this side of the pond. At 3T / Q+M we’re starting to make plans for next season, and as a little taste of things to…
Barry-Roubaix: There’s only one first winner
With 3,500 racers, Barry-Roubaix is the largest gravel race in the world, but it didn’t start that way. Ten years ago, about 300 people (mostly on mountain and cyclocross bikes) lined up to race on the cold, spring gravel roads of west Michigan. That day, Mike Simonson won the first ever Barry-Roubaix. This year, with…
