I didn’t have a whole lot of time, but I had a whole lot of reason, a whole lot of want, and a whole lot of bike. (41 unloaded pounds of bike, to be exact.)
For years, I’ve been allowing the distance between “the well” and me to grow. I’ve been watering it, excusing it, ignoring [...]
Today’s stage of the Tour is very near and dear to my heart. Two years ago I was pedaling all over those same roads having one Drunkcyclist moment after another. I was telling some of the stories from my trip the other night and I thought that I might share one with you guys.
It was over a week into my trip of [...]
Cycling: Still riding every day, but haven’t gotten out for any real jaunts. I didn’t start this morning with a bike ride as I properly should have – I started it with a slug of left over wine, a chainsaw and a ladder. Drinking: The Columbia river Valley’s wines are hit or miss. [...]
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. [...]
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.
Got this one from the TNR homies and for most the long distance off-road riders here in the state, the AZT is the holy grail of off road routes.
Dale Shewalter, the founder of the Arizona Trail and guiding spirit for the Arizona Trail Association, died on Sunday, January 10. After a many year fight against [...]
People don’t, nor are required, to fix their oil leaks. Not in a state where they don’t do vehicle inspections. This is what WA state looks like, people. IT IS A COFFEE ADDICTED, ALIENATING, BICYCLIST (other than summer recreational riders on designated trails) UNFRIENDLY place.
I see signs up about protecting the watershed, [...]
My belly is full on the despair of children in far away lands and holiday merriment. Samuel however, is doing more to see it first hand before the machine incinerates it all. You see, Sam is a compatriot that has, for all intents and purposes, defected from this place paved with gold to travel across [...]
Ok wow. Now I know why Ralph likes them so much. And I know why I don’t see Colnagos for sale much.
For good dreams, scroll down to the movie about Ritter and a sun-drenched velodrome in Mexico City.
For nightmares, come to my garage. Lay under a car with me. There is happy mechanics (buildng bikes) and then there is the torture of tearing apart my pollution pump. I have found the exterior of [...]
Our boy Response is back on tour and livin’ the vida loca. Whatever the hell that means.

Well, my bike was stolen here in China. It was $60 usd new. So no major loss. Or so I thought.
I had ridden a few miles off the beaten track [...]
