A wise man once told me “…don’t apologize for things you didn’t do…” So here’s my apology: I’m sorry we got off the route. It created some confusion for sure, but once we got back on track we were good. If you ever see me at the front of the pack without a map, feelContinue reading “May Networking Ride ~ aka: “Cloosterfook””

4 reasons why gears suck:
All set for a lovely ride on my newly (but not new) cobbled together Fetish 1×9 CX bike this morning. 24 degrees, clear roads – ready for action! About 4 miles in, I started getting all kinds of weird noises out of the drive-train. [Not to be confused with the ball bearing noise coming fromContinue reading “4 reasons why gears suck:”

So, today was Day 1 of the Rapha “Festive 500” … I hit the road at 5:45am with a nice sized crew of Spokesmen to get a few miles in. In all honesty, I do not plan to ride 500 kilometers in the next 8 days, but it was a good idea to have rattlingContinue reading “Day 1(?) of 2010”
“You’re crazy!”
If I had a dime for every time I heard that, let’s just say I’d have a lot of dimes. The roads were in relatively good shape yesterday and 4 of us were game for a slightly shortened Networking ride. 20 degrees, sunny and very light winds made for surprisingly good conditions. As we pulledContinue reading ““You’re crazy!””
