I’m back, I just took a few weeks off.  Life seemed to get boring and uninspiring so decided it was best to not share that misery with the general public. The good news is that life looks to be picking back up again with a lot of badass road trips on the horizon. This weekend will bring me  to the side [...]

First, you have the glory that is Paris Hilton. And then you have the glory that is Tuscon: A woman on her nightly stroll was aggressively propositioned by a man in a vehicle that didn’t even have a backseat, according to a Pima County Sheriff’s Department report. Read the rest: tucsonweekly.com/tucson/police-dispatch. I envy these guys [...]

This week was my 6th week on the road. The month of March saw me spend more days in my sleeping bag than in my own bed and it was fantastic. Somehow I managed to work as little as possible while still keeping my career on track and still have a whole lot of fun. [...]

YES! 70 degree weather hit yesterday and with it came the first sunburn of the year. Praisejesus March is fucking OVER! One more month on my road bike and then mountain bike season will be here! WOOOOT! I think I am tossing out the Tour of Red River Gorge for Mohican 100. Got some good [...]

Well, not really fat. More like “festively plump” or “jolly.” From: Jeff D. Jonny, hope all is well at law school in the warm weather… Classic Nor Cal Cat 4 racing.

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. [...]

This is going to be a pretty weak post. Mostly because the riding is off the hook right now in the desert southwest and I have better shit to do than type. So here it goes: This might be the link of the week so far, keep hitting refresh notahipsterbecause.com. A few years ago I had [...]

According to archaeologist Patrick McGovern this may have been the case when early man decided to start farming. Why humans turned from hunting and gathering to agriculture [...]

Toying with the idea of selling the Landshark. (no I’m not) busted my winter wheel, time to clean her up and put the GOOD wheels on ‘er. (…to have and to hold) take the glamour shots in departing sunlight (the frame doesn’t fit) and degrade this legendary bicycle with a Seattle craigslist post.

Because sometimes we need a little extra something to get us to Friday. What do a sandwich, a waterfall, and Tom Sellick have in common? Everything. This kid goes big, and keeps it simple. I like it. That gets me ready to ride. Kind of like Colt Fake’s little video. Over at Ninebullets they stream a bunch [...]

Shit. Amazing what you can find when you actually pay attention. I parked this one in the drafts folder and lost sight of it for three weeks. The ride I’m talking about was on January 7th. Oh well. Shit’s still funny even if it is way late to go live. Original post below: On Thursday, [...]
