MERRIER
THE CHILDRENS ARE ALL GROWED UP. For the first time in 30 years, I woke up on Christmas Day and went for a bike ride. Mrs Claus was getting a little extra beauty sleep… like she needs it!… so, off I went on my two-wheeler. The MTB seemed most appropriate. More playful. More options. All.. More
THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT REVIEW
THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT REVIEW, BUT I AM GOING TO REVIEW A RECENT ACQUISITION. Since none of our loved ones dare venture into our obsession I feel pretty safe sharing this beautiful truth on the interwebs. Because, if you’re at all like me you already bought yourself a Christmas present… … and you had.. More
SWAMI’S LONG T’DAY
ME AND THE BOYS HEADED DOWN TO SWAMI’S TODAY. Swami’s is a terrible ride. Fast, fast, fast. But, there are a few added bonuses for guys like us. First, I’m the only one of the 6 of us that’s done it enough to vaguely know the route. So there’s the bonus of finding yourself at.. More
LEGIT
HEY, WHAT KIND OF BIKE DO YOU HAVE? It came from high on the hill on the opposite side of our street. A man, unknown to me, had yelled it. Harmless enough? I wasn’t so sure. We’ve had a number burglaries in our neighborhood, and we have a few “halfway houses”. Plus, not long ago.. More
UP AND ADAM
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE WATCHING THE SUNRISE. Why sunsets are so popular escapes me. It’s the sunrise I love. The pre-dawn darkness that greets me and my bike lights this time of year is cold. And, dark. Not unfriendly, but not welcoming. It’s me and The Marvel, and since nary a soul is up, it’s.. More
I KNOW…
I KNOW I’M AN OKAY CLIMBER, DESCENT SPRINTER AND RIPPING DESCENDER. I know what type of courses suit my bag of tricks. What’s weird is I rarely work on my sprint… and a lot races come down to a sprint. There are two parts to sprinting that I could work on: one is science, and.. More
CLIME ABOARD
WHATCHA GONNA WEAR TOMORROW? Today I layered up perfect for the weather, and so I thought I should write it out for the winter is here. >70 Jersey and Bibs, gloves optional 60-70 Jersey and Bibs, gloves 50-60 add Knee Warmers and maybe Arm Warmers 40-50 add Vest.. More
EYE DO
EYE DO DECLARE, THESE NEW OAKLEY’S ARE TRE RAD. Eye know eye’m late to the party, BST is how I roll. But, eye’ve finally arrived with the sweetest pair of Jawbreakers. Why so sweet? Eye love the massive field of view, way bigger than standard dual-lens set ups. The full-frame wrap keeps the lens in.. More
ALL I SEE IS RED AGAIN
All the Ghost of Christmas Past shows me is red. Red sells. Red looks fast. Red is… RED! My trike was red. I remember it well. Red paint, white stripes. Solid rubber black wheels. Just the thing to escape over to Jamie Figueroa’s. My scooter was red. It was a forerunner to the Razor. Red platform,.. More
IT’S HUNKR TIME
YEP, IT’S TIME TO HUNKR DOWN AND HAVE YOUR BEST 100K EVER. HUNKR IS A 100K bicycle challenge. HUNKR IS FOR athletes focused on their personal best. HUNKR IS NOT for winning for the sake of winning… though winning is always nice. HUNKR IS SPECIAL because its’ a shared experience. We all start together, race.. More
IT’S A BIRD!
THIS REALLY HAPPENED. Finally, after years and years and miles and miles… it happened. How many times have a thought it would? A gazillion. But it never had. There had been close encounters. Near misses. But no hits. Until today… Just before dawn, in the chilly shadows, I was riding along the bike path above.. More
