Honestly, if these kids are being told to dope by their fucking coaches, this is SHIT. Let them fucking race for GOD’S SAKE. The pressure they have [...]

When I work from home, I watch what’s going on outside. Dope boys come and go from the house across the street. He seems to be the steady supplier for many. I often wonder what drug he sells. His kids come over here to get their bikes fixed. Not once have they ever thanked us. [...]

Thanks Missy.

….when you get home from a hard ride and you can hardly think straight and the adrenaline is still pumping and you gotta let the dogs out and you need food and you’re looking at your text messages and about 20 other things are going through your head……
At this exact moment, that’s how I feel. [...]

See all that sun? It’s going to be glorious outside today and I am stuck in here. All day. From 10a-10p. And everyone on facebook is posting pictures of being outside.

Everyone’s out riding. Enjoy it. Spring is coming. I can feel it. The kids on our street are outside playing. They’ll all be banging [...]

A new bike for me is never a reality until I ride it. You know what I mean? Dominic gets excited about every little part, every detail. I am just kinna like ‘meh’ until it’s built and I am pedaling. I can sit and stare at it, post pictures of it, talk about it, blog [...]

I’m sick. And sore. I have a cough and am all snotty and shit. My doc called in some cough syrup (minus the hydrocodone). It seems to be helping. A little.
So I’ve missed a long ride this week. Was off the bike 3 days. Who really cares? Is it really going to make a [...]

I was searching google images for a Happy Birthday post to Gnome. When I saw this one, and the text attached to the image, I had to use it.
Happy Birthday Gnomy….

I have a race scheduled for Saturday: The Frosty 14. It’s a trail race. In knee high snow. The other day it took me about 45 minutes to walk a mile in the woods. How long will 14 take me? These guys are pretty hardcore and won’t cancel unless it’s illegal to be driving on [...]

Happy Vday to me! She’s done! Dominic worked on it all day. This picture just does not do it any justice. It’s way more beautiful in person. You still can’t see all the candy colors. I promised the Colonial I’d post a picture outside but we have like 2 feet of snow out there and [...]

PARIS — A French judge has issued an international arrest warrant for U.S. cyclist Floyd Landis in connection with a case of data hacking at a doping laboratory, France’s anti-doping chief said Monday.
Pierre Bordry told The Associated Press that French judge Thomas Cassuto is seeking to question Landis about computer hacking dating back to September [...]

For those of you with a significant other, have a great day. For those of you w/o, have fun with your hand.

Dominic just came home with this stuff. Pink cables. Pink brake pads. I can’t believe how very PINK this bike is going to be. I hope pink matches mud colors.

I meant to post this picture a couple days ago when the last clear coat was applied. The fork is wicked. The whole paint job [...]

I’m a corporate travel agent and I work from home, in the “after hours” department. Snowstorms like this mean I am on call to log in when they need me. It’s a pretty sweet deal. Right now I’m sitting here in my robe, typing up this post in between calls. There’s talk of sled riding [...]

We watched Whip It last night. What a great movie! If you haven’t seen it, and you like to see women kicking each other’s asses, watch it. It’s so fucking rad. Juliette Lewis is still hot.

I totally want to try roller derby. I got invited to try outs a couple years ago for the [...]

This guy is gonna have a stroke. This is for today’s storm forecast in the DC area. He’s cracking me up.

Soon, I am going to have a bad ass old school Trek MTB. All for under 100 bucks. Recycled bikes are the best.

What is that phrase I keep seeing? Chromo or….homo? Whatever. This frame is chromoly. I take it that’s a good thing?

TITS (Time In The Saddle). Got that from Suzanne.
Yesterday we rode fixed for 31, today I rode solo for 58.
89 miles in 2 days. I’ll take it for Feb 1st.

Today is a rest day. I’ve been on my bike 5 days a week and running 2 days a week for the last 3 weeks straight. My legs need a break. I need yoga. And compression tights baby.
It’s 18 degrees outside, and I’m cranky. I just paid a $245.00 heating bill. That’s for a [...]
