The print version of grit.cx #008 hit the streets last week, and today you can find all of that same #dirtydropbargoodness in digital form.

grit.cx is also available as a web site version. This is a nice way to pretend you’re working at your computer, but you’re really being transported to beautiful and fun places to ride your bike. It’s also a nice option if you don’t have the app on your mobile device. It’s the same content as the app and as the printed magazine, but you can take it all in through your web browser.
