By the time we all re-convened @ the end of the day Thursday it was all we could do to ride the escalator up a floor to our fav Mexican joint, re-load and limp over to out hotel to retrieve our bags and catch a taxi f or the airport. I know.you're bleeding. For me right now, huh? I appreciate that, I really do. He's here at the venue! You shoulda been there! Sidis new prices. (Ouch! QR's too. (").

Monday, October 27, 2008. Pineapple Bob Classic Report. Soit was a somewhat disappointed group of 20 or so milling around the shop yesterday, kitting up and talking about the much-better-than-forecast weather outside. "Where's the 'wintery mix'? Whats' w/all the sunshine? And other such comments were commonly overheard as we got ready to roll. Flahute" is a Flemish word used to describe the 'hard men' of that region who are always out there in the wet and wind training for the Spring Classics). I've deci...

Sunday, April 19, 2009. If there was any way I was gonna survive a week w/out my One True Love (who flew down to Mexico to visit our son) it would hafta be a week filled w/ rides and other Cool Stuff. Lucky for me - that's just. The kind of week I've had! Monday 'twas her B-Day and then she left for the airport @ 4:00am Tuesday. I came down to the shop after she left and f-i-n-a-l-l-y got my Seven back together and it is beautiful. 16 pounds and 2 ounces of fixed gear fury! And 'twas sunny and warm!

The running joke @ meetings is that I need a cap w/ at least 3 "fronts" so I can rotate it to tell folks which "we" I mean when I say that "we" oughta do this or "we" need that. There are some meetings where that cap would spin so much that it'd wear a groove in my scalp! Still - I don't thing I'd have it any other way! The JDRF stuff ...

clubvelo: December 2008
http://clubvelo.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. There ain't no bad rides! A case in point: Yesterday's "Crazy Bastard West" ride wasn't the best one ever by any means! The seasonal roads were an impassable mess of ice ruts, frozen snow, thinly iced over puddles and that meant lots of walking, pushing, falling and wet feet. BB's crank arm fell off at the farthest-possible-point-from-the-cars and we had to push him back (on gravel and pavement) until a rescue car arrived and it was cold and windy.
