As for the whereabouts of Dan Diaz
From: Helm
where in the world is surly Dan Diaz.  Last i heard from him was in Alaska, but rumor has it he freaked on zander and some dude and is on the run. [...]

First, Liz Hatch (legs right for visual aid) ate shit. And when I say “ate shit” I mean ATE SHIT. Damn girl. You can’t be doin that to yourself. Just because you have a thing for Ludo doesn’t mean you get to try and look like him. Reminds me too much of Vogels when he [...]

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 [...]

Oh man. Motherfucking DC Representative Reichel & Kate rolled into town last night. They broke me in real good. We chilled at FBC, drank beer & reminisced about our origins into bikes. Talked about King, Palmer, Lopes and all those hoods that made it when the money flowed like swill, and long rides and other [...]

Our Celebrity Elect. We’ve all seen it. Planned. Packaged. Delivered. Shit’s pretty ridiculous at this point. Hope his policy is half as good as his marketing appeal. Remember Carter picked up after an equally malformed Nixon, and couldn’t policy his way out of a paper bag. We’ll see right? The messiah is gonna come. I [...]

A brother could get used to this “winter break” concept. Damn glad I’m not down in Tucson trying to find some kind of fitness before the Two Four in February. First up, this little gem:

That and way more fun at: seveload
No idea how that sells washing machines… But I really want to buy [...]

Jeffro was kind enough to put up his collection of images from this years fotp. Remember that? A soul ride amongst cycists. Na, you’re right. FOTP is dead. Better make a sticker. ooh, I know!… “FOTP is Neither”
Hevi Kevi reminds us that the Pole Riders are still rocking it. Good times over there. Who would [...]

At first, I thought this would be a great idea, but then after sitting through it, the only redeeming quality was the soundtrack. The X-mas frump ruined the potential the visual component could have had. It also reminded me that I almost made it to Jim & Kimmy’s Holiday Lights cruiser ride, however the effort [...]

Friday. Si Bueno. Be sure to lock up properly while out at the bars this weekend.

Subject: Black Sheep?
I love this site, it comes to my attention though, you don’t have Black Sheep Bikes on your frame builders list. These guys are tight. Check em out- blacksheepbikes.com
So I took one look at their site and [...]

Secluded in a box for days. Tis the season. Standard operating procedure legitimized. Maybe not noteworthy, but a sign of the times and the place and the person. More fortune, less season.
Pull a small quiver of quality animation to pass some time. So many to choose from. keep it surreal. Can’t remember. They all work [...]

K-Camp EPic Happened down south of Tucson this past weekend while I was on a rideabout. Chad and the AES crew saw over 50 starters. An impressive turnout for AZ underground epicness.
The Super Prestige from the BKW point. Some hard riding even if it’s old news and more important than the race, look at the [...]

Story here…
Some great comments here as well…

una kalashnikov de hello kitty? I’m not a tourist?
Oh great. Guns for fun. Nothing says “I’m a douchebag” more than a Hello Kitty Kalashnikov.
Whatever, there’s some killer Russian Ska type music in that site too. Here’s a little more. Here’s their original site. Funny words. Now quite bitching about your job.
Buffalo Rising. I spied a [...]

India gets rocked by “backpackers with assault rifles“. India? Pakistan. Pakistan? India. Lets get it on.
Eventually, they’ll say that these are terrorists unlike any they’ve seen; young, baby-skinned & trained… “They were firing from their hips. Very professional. Very cool,”…
Firing from their hips? Sounds like youthful rebellion. Young, jihadist rebellion. How soon until that tactic [...]

Speedy Beavers. Sent in by Paul. A nice little gathering of girlies on bikes.
BikeRumor.com. When you need to know.
Another Ghost Bike honors a fallen rider.
Pole Riders. No shit. And I thought I’d seen it all.
A drunk bastard and a bicycle.
Another drunk bastard and a bicycle.

OK my brothers.  This makes [...]

I like what Belgium Knee Warmers has to say about the electronic Drua Ace groupo. What’s it called… the Di2
I appreciate the idea of a Milwakee Mimosa almost as much as I miss Michael Bussmann and Sausage.
YuriB. Less talkie. More Doie… Yuri & crew as they expand their ever burgeoning knowledge of how to avoid [...]

Its British. Might have to watch it twice:

I don’t mean to make light of the week’s events, but this is brilliant……only a Brit……Honourary Membership to DC? I think he’s earned it, although he doesn’t mention bikes…..but he is completely blootered……

Need a reason to ride for days & days? There’s a small movement in cycling that’s been happening over the last couple of years lead by pioneers such as Scott Morris and a host of others that, at this point I guess is called “bikepacking”. Now that the lexicon has been established, you can ride [...]

Yeah, it’s Sunday. Time to get out my shovel and dig through this pile of emails I’ve been ignoring.
Authorities in Grant County say a 48-year-old Woodinville man nearly drowned after he deliberately drove his Humvee into the Columbia River near Quincy.
Undersheriff John Turley says Merle C. Sorenson told deputies he “was not [...]

Com’on Tuesday. Let’s get this trainwreck rolling.
Jim Hightower posts the obvious cirtique regarding the bailout. The only thing to gleam from that, is 70 billion in bonus packages.
Then there’s the msnbc investigation of the Country Wide VIP program. And really, what did anyone expect? Wall street cry’s bitch-come-run’n and who delivers? Frank, Palosi and Bush. [...]
