Got out on a bit of a bike ride last night. Had offers to join up with two different groups. One involved driving south. The other involved riding my bike less than a mile from my house to meet some guys rolling up this way. Guess which one I went with? That’s right, the one [...]

Thank God it’s Friday
I think I’m going to miss Brian Dawkins this year. Kid was off the hook in Philly. Now he’s a Bronco. Can right-wing hate talk lead to murder? I was on “Hardball” today talking about the climate of extreme right-wing rhetoric today, and whether it had anything to do with Wednesday’s tragic shooting at Washington’s [...]
Hat Trick
Rode again today. Just pulled a hat trick. First time of the calendar year. And yes, it feels funny both saying it and typing it. But that’s how life goes some times. Pulled an old front wheel off a hook today and set about truing it up. Not too bad, really, just a touch up [...]

There are times where I am floating along with everything, understanding and comprehending. Then there are times when I am but a rock in the stream and the water cascades over and around me and I have no idea what is happening… Life is like that sometimes. Got this one via email from my wife [...]
Humpday musings
First outta the box, and this one is friggin’ ridiculous, Fox Newser accused of dragging cyclist through Central Park. The driver then accelerated, lunging straight into me, knocking me and my bicycle to the ground and to the left side of his car. I quickly got to my feet and positioned myself in front of [...]

What did you do today? I may not have gotten in a proper ride in this morning, but I did ride each one of these beauties around the block. Some of them even twice around the block. Good times. From left to right; Specialized, Moser, Ciocc, Surly, Voodoo, Fondriest, Lemond. What’s in your quiver? In [...]
Chill’n like a villain
Second day off from school. And I still don’t know what to do with myself. Spend yesterday morning in the garage moving around boxes. Thought about building up another bike. I’ve got a Voodoo frameset just waiting for parts to be hung on ‘er. Read the site over lunch. And holy shit was there ever [...]

Monday morning quarterback’n it up
Done with a solid round of testing and feeling like a truck ran me over. Go figure. Seems it goes together. Hand in hand. Like peas and carrots. Butter on toast. Whatever. Well, lookie here: Flagstaff, Arizona, made the top ten list of “Ten Least Affordable Cities with a Population Under 500,000.” (Source: lifehacker.com) Awesome. [...]
I’ve yet to leave this chair
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 [...]

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 thinking” [...]
