A pic of my tube and bottle collection. I took this Thursday before going in to get the tubes removed. Luckily as I have posted, nothing was torn or really screwed, but after waking up the doc informed me that the damage to my cartilage was, “More than expected.” Well there you go. I [...]

Open Letter to My Father:
Maybe it’s you up there in the sky shining like a star, looking down on me from the heavens. Maybe it’s you, that wild spirit animal drifting across the sky like a buffalo — free and joyous. Maybe it’s you, that bum under the portico of the library, spirit [...]

File this under Lame.

I was wondering if you homies could post about it.  Bastards stole my singlespeed.  My light blue Soul Cycles Hooligan.  They didn’t get the front wheel since it was in my truck.
I realize you might not be able to post to the site, but it is worth an email when I [...]

A few random thoughts
I made pancakes this morning. Ang had ‘em straight up, Sophia with chocolate chips, and me with walnuts & bananas. We all had it “our way”. And that’s all you can ask for sometimes: To have it your way, whatever way that happens to be. Whatever floats [...]

Well. Piss-boring, shit-tired winter. Not anymore. It’s time to talk with one of cycling’s founding fathers, Hurl Everstone. If you read this site frequently and don’t know who Hurl Everstone is, maybe you need to read some other sites. Fuh Real.
Let’s Start with this:

Everstone is major. [...]

Been to Bootleg? It’s the home of the interbyke dirt demo, as well as a refuge for a ton of AZ DH heads (among others) who haven’t got a proper dh park in AZ (hello fucking snow bowl???). Yea, and they say it too; thank god Bootleg is just over the Nevada border, and ooooooh [...]

BGR and Miss B made it back from a 3 week tour in the Grand Canyon. Those damn free birds, doing whatever they please like they think they can n shit.
…Say, that reminds me. 22 days ago, I drove them up to Grandview and dropped them off in a blizzard. I sat in the car [...]

Pretty fucking great mom. I’m taking my first stats class. Things couldn’t be better. By the end of this semester, I’ll be able to determine with amazing accuracy, the the exact lamness of everything. It’s gonna be sweet.
Hey, have you seen my Mantyhose? They didn’t get mixed in with yours did they?
What we hav’n for [...]

I still cannot believe the game the Cardinals played last night. I was not expecting that. But, then again, neither was anyone else.
From: UglyYeti.
Here’s a glimpse of the future – stocking up for the game. Never tell a 3 year old to go put on whatever he wants.

My kids [...]

Gold Member dragged me out for a pre-dawn assault. It was my first ski of the season. It was past due. This is pretty much how it went down:

5am. No cheese but the cheezits. Improvise. by 6am, the coffee had yet to kick in. I felt like my boy looks.

Gold Member drops the hammer on [...]

With every intention of taking the Mrs. out for a mtb ride yesterday, the weather wasn’t having it. So, what to do but surf the web and read some news. Never hurts to learn, right? What’s been killing me lately is the lack of anything viable, or nary a feel-good story. Killings here, bombings there, [...]

One week. Then I go back to school. This break will not be long enough. I need months to get over this shit. I need a job. I need a paycheck. I need hopes, dreams and aspirations.
I’ll settle for LA Direct Models. Sites like that crack my shit [...]

It being, you know, that time of year when folks tend to make their resolutions, I am going to try and do something like that now. It’s early, sure, but why the fuck not?
First, try to take myself less serious. Seriously, my job is stressful at times, and I think I take it too serious. [...]

I put on my first pair of cycling shoes in 1992, after years of pounding toe-clips around the hills of my hometown. They were the top of the line Sidi’s. The same fruity colored units that Tinker sported back in the days of the Etto and Klein. Although I couldn’t understand why cyclists had to [...]

Being ever so scientific minded and having been presented over the years with a number of “sure-fire” hangover cures, I thought it was high time to cut through the crap and do a little scientific research. Put it to rest once-and-for-all, as it were.
While there are any number of fixes for the brown-bottle [...]

Hey, listen –
Most folks know that when you ask someone for something, you have to give them something in return. It’s pretty fucking basic. Maybe it has to do in some way with the 3rd law of physics. I know, gutter punks think that because they eat from the dumpster, they don’t [...]

no, wait…. we HATE the world.

Approved by a vote of 177 in favour to 1 against (United States), with 2 abstentions (Canada and Israel),the resolution on the right to development would have the Assembly call on the Council to continue to ensure that its agenda promotes and advances sustainable development and the Millennium Development Goals [...]

For me it’s not about a religious event…or some old fat bearded guy in a red suit. It’s as simple as a new bike for my 9 year old. A kick-ass bike. Never mind that it’s used — barely — but used nonetheless. It’s about the look on his face [...]

I spent far too long watching the tube tonight. Given that we only have about 12 or 16 accidental channels that happen to squeak in through our cable meant for internets, it was only fitting that I punished myself tonight with such great shows as Baby Daddy on the BLT network, where 248 tricks [...]
