Ruud van Dijk: Living Like a Cyclist: Haute Route Alps, 2013
http://ruudvandijk.blogspot.com/2013/08/living-like-cyclist-haute-route-alps.html
War and Peace and Cycling, Not Necessarily Together. Saturday, August 31, 2013. Living Like a Cyclist: Haute Route Alps, 2013. When you are a cyclist with a day job, there are several ways in which you can be serious about that non-professional part of your life. Of course, you shave your guns, keep your material in proper working order, and generally demonstrate an awareness of the Rules. It is hard to think of a better way to do this, even when you do race regularly, than participation in Haute Route.

War and Peace and Cycling, Not Necessarily Together. Monday, June 23, 2014. RIP, My Faithful Riding Partners. You bet I did!

Ruud van Dijk: America, the Economizing Power
http://ruudvandijk.blogspot.com/2011/10/american-economizing-power.html
War and Peace and Cycling, Not Necessarily Together. Friday, October 14, 2011. America, the Economizing Power. My friend and colleague Jeremi Suri. He of the new Liberty's Surest Guardian. Has an op-ed in the New York Times. In which he argues that the United States rigorously should set priorities- and shed responsibilities and ambitions- in foreign policy. This goes beyond the Obama administration's national security strategy. Posted by Ruud van Dijk. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ruud van Dijk: September 2011
http://ruudvandijk.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
War and Peace and Cycling, Not Necessarily Together. Friday, September 23, 2011. It's More Than a Political Crisis, It's an Existential One. It's been clear for close to two years. The consequences of a restructuring of the Greek debt would hurt, especially in better-off European countries, like France and Germany, but it would hurt far less than continued uncertainty- uncertainty about what will happen to Greece (stay within the Euro, or not? Go bankrupt, and if so, in what way? Posted by Ruud van Dijk.

War and Peace and Cycling, Not Necessarily Together. Thursday, October 20, 2011. Cold War and Cycling- Together Again. It has been a long time since I've had anything to report about my own riding, and the kind of riding I've done is partly to blame. Yet, every time I begin to tell someone that this year I've just not done the kind of rides one would like to do (hilly rides, century rides, all-day-there's-nothing-else-that-really-matters-rides- no Sardinia. Ride again). So what's my problem? I was able t...
