room.

My room has become a shrine. Or a larger than average closet. Either way, it holds everything I've got. I joke how my room can be measured by bike lengths. Some of these photos give a new perspective on that.




I enjoy the play on perspective brought by the image of the wheel sitting on the picture frame. I think back to when I studied and attempted Joan Miro-like arrangements in my paintings, and think I had never gotten it this naturally.

Sometimes it's nice to look back on the simple things.

I'd rather ride at Saw Wee Kee than Palos.

There, I said it.

Though, being the first rider there in the morning means you're going to be clearing the cobwebs from the trail

Yellow in Leadville?

I would like to present to the UCI a ruling with a lot of numbers and decimals that wold require all Tour de France winners to race the Leadville 100.

Crazy, I know. But after years of bagging by Lance and Levi, who come with the best conditioning after a month of centuries, there is finally a reversal. Yes, Cadel has been a roadie, for a while, and a world champion, but if anyone should be able to conquer Leadville, Cadel has the credentials. This ruling would prove the bravado of any Tour winner. "Yeah, you think you've done some tough shit? Well try this". Maybe then, the dirt lovers could gain a little more respect for the roadies out there. However, this is Leadville, mostly fireroads and some real roads. We would rather see these roadies take on some singletrack and bounce over a rock garden or two. With this in mind, I urge the BC Bike Race to reschedule to August and prepare for next years possible entrants, the Schleck brothers after UCI ruling 1.7.012.3$%* takes effect, which will require all podium finishers to team up for the singletrack stage race.

I found Nowhere.

A trip birthed from a desire. A plan executed. and a life re-entered. This is the roller-coaster of my life most recently. I get to ride bikes for work. No, I don't get to review all the newest stuff. But I do enjoy the experience, no pro bono. Lately I have been able to travel to a manuafacturer for a week of riding and drinking the kool-aid. This trip sent me back for just enough time before I go on vacation for a week, or something like that, of riding in Big Bend Texas. First, Yes. Everything in Texas is bigger. Except your gastank. Second, The riding was great. The scenery was like I've not experienced. The memories are forever. I thought the place with the best trail which I would have liked to ride more was the last place we visited. Knowledge for next time. Will there be a next time? Maybe I'll fly.
