gettin fixed


or fixin my fixie. the treehugger hooked me up and we got the fixie turned into a much more betterer ride. the 8ish miles home proved her to be a nimble machine with the potential for castrophony.
End of time.
At least I had a brake for the ride home.
Also, a few shots of the commute home (nonish-ghetto route)

A nice buzz


thru the preserves this fine eve. it was less of a ride and more of a series of sprints involving traffic lights, cars, cactus, a snake, a callous disregard for my own well being, clarity, night hawks and PDAs on the trail. must have been an affair.

















HOT DAMN!

This shot isn't mine but it is too good not to share. More here.

Summit of the people


To think I almost didn’t ride after I got home. Tired from a big ride on sat and door instillation on Sunday and the whopping 15 flat miles to and fro work. Wife called and says two things “..nice out…” and “..I just figured you’d ride..” .
Brain to self “hey asshole, why ain’t ya riding?”.
OK. Shaddup brain.











And now for something completely different….

You know it’s a summit of the people when dubya is the outcast and presidents and sports heroes lead the protests against him. That's my kind of party!

And speaking of things being underplayed down south, former president of Peru was arrested …Under a longstanding international warrant, Mr. Fujimori, 67, has been wanted on charges involving 21 violations of human rights and acts of corruption committed during the decade he was in power.”

And if you haven't heard Damion "Jr Gong" Marley or Matisyahu yet, you need to.
















Check out Hoss' stuff - cool. I mena hot. jeez i'm a dumbass

red mountain redemption

Forgive me Nature, for i have sinned. It has been one year since I last visited hawes and pass mountain. man i love this loop. hawes was busy but by the time we rounded the mountain we only saw one other rider on wild horse and then we saw no more riders - even at the nra pit. saw lots of hikers, made a wrong turn for a few miles, a horse spooked, the rider spilled some of his budwiser, he was ok about it. that 31 miles feels more like 60. maybe b/c devo and cooper kept me up until 11:30
