Cold like it was in Idaho

One time at Thanksgiving at my sister-in-laws up in Nampa I was trying to ride a bit. Keep in shape, find some form, get the fuck out of the house – take your pick. It was a hazy bubble of fog/mist/cloud that followed me around as I rode. When I got way [...]

I am invisible.

A four intersection, but a three way stop. The road I’m on is one way once you pass through. Traffic to my left, up the hill and in front of me at the stop sign. Nothing to the right, which is essentially a parking lot.
Girl to my left goes, turning left on [...]

It’s official – The Philadelphia Eagles suck

The Eagles were giving three on that one. And the lost by four! They are horrible. My God, what did I just watch? I thought they had it at the end of the game. Westbrook runs back a punt for 64 yards. They’re on the Seahawks [...]

Two girls, one cup

I’ve seen it. I’ve seen a lot of things. Thinks I’ll never un-see.
Whatever. By now we’ve all seen it. Or soon will. For there are only two types of people in this world – those who have seen 2 girls 1 cup, and those that will.
Here is the straight poop [...]

Stupid is as stupid does

I’m recovering nicely from my weekend. Rode a fixy to work the last two days and felt pretty good about it. The Eagles even pulled on out against the hapless ‘Fins. Can’t say I’m all that proud of ‘em, but I sure am relieved. They are now sitting at .500, fat [...]

Getting back on track…

Due to Jonny’s semi-emo meltdown and subsequent infection of many posters here, I took it upon myself to drink half a bottle of Jonnie Walker black and get over said illness. I’m not sure when (or even IF…) Jonny will return in fighting form. He may in fact, be gone for as long as 3 [...]

A day in the hood

The neighborhood I live in has these big landscaped medians that separate traffic going one way from traffic going the other. I’m riding up the hill back to my place the other day, and this guys coming straight down the hill at me on another bicycle. He’s weaving around and I soon realize [...]

Primo Huesepole keep’n it real and other colorful tales

 
My ride today consisted of dragging my daughter over to the country fair in a bike trailer. I’ve had easier goes of it, all things considered, single speed mountain bike and trailer full of kid and gear. But not many that were more fun. It was a good time all around.
In [...]

Happy Friday

This week I split the uprights and got a Happy Friday post up on a Friday. Sometimes you’re in front of the eight ball, and sometimes you’re behind it. I’m not sure yet which I prefer, so I’ll keep alternating between the two and get back to you with my impressions, depressions and [...]

Fuck all

I rode out Lake Mary by myself today. Two hours of spinning away like the lycra clad douche I am. I got scared shitless on they way out when some asshat pulling a trailer behind his white Dodge pickup came within two feet of me at a rather substantial rate of speed. [...]

Happy Friday Plus One Day

I set out this morning right about the time our local group ride hits off. I was a good ten minutes behind ‘em, and that was on purpose. What I need is some steady “jonny time” riding. And lots of it.
I told someone I needed about a thousand hours in the saddle [...]

Five am blues

It’s the middle of the night and I’m awake again. This could be my new thing. I’ve been up since 2:30am.
Shit. Someone’s gotta watch the sun warm in the east every morning. It might as well be me, I suppose.
In my garage, at the moment, there are no less than [...]

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday… Race fans, hot rodders… Are you ready to sit on your ass in your back yard and not do a damn thing all day?
Sign me up, Chief.
Did I ride a bike today? No. Did I even look at my bikes today? No. What did you do, fat boy? [...]

Thirsty Thursday

I rode my single speed cross bike down to the corner Circle K convenience store this afternoon to drop off some DC merchandise in a big blue Mail Box. Then I rode home. It rained before I rode, and immediately after my return. Round trip: 20 minutes. Maybe more like 15.
That [...]

Two days out

It has taken me most of the last two days to feel normal. Or start to feel normal. Or whatever. I’m not exactly “normal” yet, but I haven’t been normal in quite some time.
I didn’t race the damn thing, but I still had to drive all the way up there and back. [...]

Leadville cometh

I leave for Leadville tomorrow morning, early of course. There is no other way to tackle a ten hour drive. You gotta hit it hard just as the sky warms. That way, by the time you even think about breakfast, you’re already a hundred miles away. This will be my first [...]
