It never ceases to amaze me the amount of us that are out there. The drunkcyclist family is everywhere and we are growing. I first started noticing this phenomenon a few years ago when I was just some guy wearing the jersey of my friend’s website. Countless people would hand me beers, pat me on the [...]

I don’t get serious very often, but do you know why you REALLY have today off? From the  Letter From a Birmingham Jail to the famous I Have a Dream speech to the rest of his oratory art…the motivation and the follow through to take on The Man is simply remarkable.
It was one part vision mixed [...]

I’m pretty happy with the mailbox I finished. Its base is 100x more permanent than a fir post – it is a Mercedes crankshaft in concrete. An American tradition – the creative mailbox. People will see this.
*living the dream* we like to say.
People will see what I write. Several years ago, [...]

I caught this piece on NPR the other day as I was eating lunch. It was one of those moments where everything stopped. I sat, still, quietly, at the kitchen table. My lunch was long gone, and still I remained, listening to the entire program before I arose from by chair. [...]

I decided that I needed to start posting on a regular basis and Tuesday seems like as good of a day as any. You might find this entertaining, you might not..but I’m going to do it anyway.
I just finished a ride and  I have been sipping away at this fine glass of Sailor Jerry on the rocks [...]

I had not thought about my old friend The Big Hurt much of late. It wasn’t until my wife told me a story this week of a co-worker of hers, a nice guy about my age that I’ve met exactly once, that I thought much about it at all. Seems the old boy [...]

I used to work with this guy back in the day. Loony as a bird. But once in a while something would come out of his mouth that was pure genius. One day he tells me “Don’t stop till the blood on your sword is the blood of the king”. The [...]

Our man in the field, Hellbelly, proves once again, that all underground is local:
Gnome,
The weather was great and as a result waterline road was extremely crowded with peoples checking out the fall colors especially at the intersection of trails below the inner basin. We had 25 veloluchadores in various stages of inebriation at the top. [...]

It means different things to all of us. For some it means going to a place that has limited resources. For some it’s going to a better place. For some it’s going to a place for inspiration or energy.
When I was learning the “particulars” of road cycling up in Flagstaff [...]

Just got this from the guys at bicycleradio… they are doing a post-show tribute to doug roether. they want people to call in or send emails with their stories about doug .. pretty cool way to celebrate him — see my home-grown cut-and-paste of their press release below…because i am too lame to make [...]

Everyday I read a few blogs. Most of them are about nothing, some are just old friends that I try and stay up to date in their lives. One of these blogs kills me. Everyday I come into work, sit down, turn on the computer and go to this one.
With a sort [...]

Haven’t heard much out of him lately. Might be time to send Big Pun across the pond to investigate.

Wiggo. Full stop.
Wiggins is racing well and climbing well, and letting other riders know it. While pedaling up a tough climb with other top riders in the Pyrenees last week, he shouted, again and again, “That’s what I’m talking about!”
Some riders, including Levi Leipheimer, gave him an odd look. Leipheimer later asked one of [...]

First up, support your local bike shop such as this one in Fremont that offers bike repair lessons as well as prime parade-front realestate should you be one of those recluse parade fiends. 

Insomnia just don’t stop. It’s true. I don’t get out much. I get this angst that I’m never going to find all the good nuggets in the tubes like Bret Michaels getting donkey punched (so to speek) at some award show: 
 

Perhaps that was old news but like I said, I don’t get out much. And [...]

Fruita Fat Tire festival has had a baby. Now in it’s third year in the shadow of the appropriately named Mt Remarkable in Melrose South Australia.
35kms of prime single track, two pubs, cool bike shop and great coffee, food and even wine for the civilized types. [...]
