Under The Sheet
by I. Ride Freely He knew it would be there. It had to be. But, maybe it not. The grades were rather lousy. He’d gotten in a fight with the little turd (a.k.a. “baby” brother). Somehow he’d forgotten to take out the trash – “it’s your only chore!”. In a redemptive move, he’d taken the little..
HUNKR Needs Your Help
We need HUNKR race footage for our website. This Saturday morning (12/17/16 from 10-12), I have a professional photographer and a professional drone pilot scheduled to shoot footage in Santiago Canyon – on the HUNKR race course. Here’s the plan: Ride Canyon Velo LONG, so you’re all lathered up for the photos. The drone pilot will be shooting..
It’s Dark, I’m Up
It’s dark. I’m up. The rest of the crew will be rolling to the corner. Won’t be able to see their faces, just their red blinky lights. Don’t matter none. It’s still pure fun. Just like our new Black Smiley shirt. 171
All I See Is Red
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,..
I’m All About That Coat, Winter Coat
The trophy wife doesn’t dig the lame mustache I sport for Movember. I do, and I’m all about grooming it through Jan 1. This year it’s a hideous chinstache. But, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do… like grow – well try – a chinstache and let the legs get hairy too. The..
I Want To Brag About Myself But…
Unlike my fellow TMWC’rs, I was not on the podium today. Three cheers for Gould, Roundy, Hill, Adams, McGee, and Brown. Now I can spend countless hours on Strava analyzing how and where I was beaten. Strava… Strava… Strava… (Rosebud) Zero time will be spent on Johnny O’s file, he’s an alien. I don’t follow..
She Said To Ride Road Today
So my buddy Mike signed up with a coach I recommended. She’s tiny. Sweet. The oracle of wisdom. Cycling’s secret sauce… and when needed she’ll kick you in the @$$. We were shaking down the MTB’s for the race tomorrow, and his electronic shifting was not working. Better to find out today than tomorrow, I..
Who Are You Racing Against?
The racer prepares for the big race because he values the challenge it presents. He values the obstacles the other racers put between him and his goal of winning. Why? Because it is those very obstacles, the size and momentum of the big peloton, which draw from the racer his greatest effort. It is only..
I’m Riding At 4
Today I promised myself I’d take a break and ride my mountain bike at 4pm, before the sun sets. It’s 7pm. Kinda like Monday, when I promised myself I’d leave at 4pm so only half my bike commute home would be in the dark. I left at 6:30pm. Well… it’s 4 o’clock somewhere. 171.6
A New Bike For An Old Friend
My friend lost his sweetheart. It was shockingly sudden. A picture of health and zest, we’d chatted in August at the mall shopping for back-to-school gear. Gone in weeks. I don’t do good at losses of this kind. It’s a weakness or lameness. Too busy with my own small worries. We used to ride together,..
TMWC – Varsity, JV, Frosh/Soph
I wasn’t feeling it today, so I did the JV loop. Not the A (aka for this post Varsity). Not the B (aka for this post Frosh/Soph). The idea was to get Cronk to go JV with me – turning right at the school, but going straight instead of the Varsity route – then, make..
