That’s the question I get from family and friends more often than any other. Well, I’d say it’s pretty awesome and x-mas-y and butt-assed-cold. -11 this morning, and supposed to get down to -22 tonight. (thats 12 and -4 respectively to you non-metric heads.) It’s getting icier by the day, but with Mex-mas™ creeping up, [...]
How’s the weather there?
Ik Ben God Niet
About a week back in my life of Second Year Law Student Dumbness, I came home after a final exam in Constitutional Law and popped in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2003 DVD. Because that shit gets me stoked. One hell of a race that year. Actually, it’s one hell of a race most years. Hamilton came up [...]
Hey hey, my my
The good Dr. Ferrari is still working with professional cyclists. Awesome. Controversial Italian sports doctor Dr Michele Ferrari has revealed he still works with 10 professional riders but refused to name them and insists he has always been against doping. Ferrari confirmed that Lance Armstrong is no longer one of his clients but said he [...]
VDB has a posse
Yeah, it’s getting around. Mad props to Snake Hawk for putting it together. It is my favorite thing ever. See: www.flickr.com/photos/kristoframon/4151799574/. Option one: If you want in on VDB’s legacy, there’s a couple of choices. First, download the pdf free of charge at vdbhasaposse.com and go nuts on your own dime. That’s why we made it. [...]
The Big Hurt
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 went through [...]
FOTP
Yes, dear piggies, the Flight Of The Pigs is well underway. Looks like a damn good time out there on two wheels. That would be, from left to right, the gnome, the sauce, and Dr. Jon. Good on ya boys, give ‘em hell. Me? I’ll be putting my girls down for their naps and having [...]
Class move on Thanksgiving at a bar
Seems not everyone out there spent Thanksgiving at home with the family last night. Some folks went out and went big. From: Jim L. A friend snapped this photo in the ladies room last night and I thought you might find it funny. Apparently this girl was well hydrated. Good times. Good time, indeed. And [...]
It’s ugly, but it may pass muster.
These are photos of my first frame. It is a road racer, 55×56 compact, and will have an Easton carbon fork. There is Dura Ace waiting in a box. The frame is stupid light, for being tubular steel. Pre-bent stays, that I am still working on. Notice the unique front derailleur cable mount. I’m going [...]
One I like
I’ve been hammering myself over the head with outlines for days on end. Nothing quite like the brutal efficiency of class ranking to get boots on the ground. I spend so much time in this library that I feel as though I own the place. At least a square foot of it. Maybe I’ll pull [...]
This won’t hurt me a bit.
I saw this post a while back and decided to go check these guys out I am always down to support a bike friendly business and and I knew a little lady that just happen to want that tattoo. Coincedentaly they are right next door to Carly’s, which is one of the better places in downtown Phoenix to [...]
Why so serious?
I walked by my daughter this morning as she was drawing away at her table, and I looked down. Wow. This is what she had came up with. I thought she might start writing socialism across the big white space at the bottom of the page. But then I remembered she can hardly write her [...]
11:15 pm the night before a bike race . . .
. . . shotgunning beers just seemed like the right thing to do. Pic from the Kona Two Four in Colorado a few years back.
