There is little time for rebellion. With all this standing around, adorning technologies, hue schemes, and eye ware, for the sake of representation and proper travel regarding the features of the weekend things are discouraging as hell. There's less and less of anything that qualifies a satisfactory effort, yet you paid for everything and the return policy made no mention of this. Satiety is having its way because it must begat a hunger and if … [Read more...]

Bonus Hour Cycling Club
There's but one day a year when you get a free hour. We shift our clocks, but something more magical than that, something more marketable happens. Two men of sub-phenomenal fitness levels have consumed pressed pots of sacred oily beans, dressed themselves in copious layers of status-indicating wicking fibres, and met at an hour grand. The Bonus Hour. Thanks to the genius of western world timekeeping magic, this two hour journey may … [Read more...]
Brown’s Ranch Sub24
Number one out the gates is the end of Lou Reed. Number two out of the gate will be the Brown's ranch Sub24. First, let's recall Lou for a moment. The news came across the waves today. It was a big deal, but I'm only a part of the age range so I missed the moments that truly made Lou, Lou. I certainly know of the Velvet Underground and all that, and of course, it's recorded like any run on sentence, so I can go back and listen up here in a bit, … [Read more...]
Gnome’s Big Dumb Ride, 2013
Back in the day, evening would come and dawn would go and one could rely on the timing of those and the seasons for guidance of what and how. For the fortunes of today, Dawn and Dusk and seasons take a back seat to priorities like money, which is to say that uncertainty, thus sedatives and stimulants persist throughout society as we attempt to self-regulate the MANifestations of this great progress. By Monday night, and after a moment of … [Read more...]
Belgo-Californian Trail Mixxe
It was not so long ago that I had a hot pencil about this trip and this new friendset. Now, you see that it has been a long time, because that was Vuelta, and now it is CX, but here is what happened: I was thinking when I got to LA, "Great. I have worked so hard for the vacation. I will make some time for things I love. Hot Planks©, Quinoa 3 ways, Ice Yoga™, and a bike riding time. And of course, the Accu-tennis®. So how good is it that … [Read more...]
Interbike 2013, The Lost Years
I am complused to attend Interbike Vegas each and every year. It's 8 out of ten so far, and each time, upon return, I am generally so burned and polluted that interaction or acknowledgment is far from possible. If or when I might write a thing about it, a miracle is in action, or enough time has passed for it not to matter. The fact of the matter is that I can make little sense of it from my perspecitve on what life should be, and while I am … [Read more...]
The Cult of the Bridgestone RB-1
My introduction to cycling was during the late ages of European steel. I was awarded this introduction during appeasable times as both wrench and cyclist for Domenic Malvestuto and Domenic's Cycling Imports. It was under his tutelage that I learned of the heritage of "old steel." Like fine art in some cases, I absorbed its meaning over time. In that time however, Bridgestone Bicycles, and the now-somewhat elusive RB-1 was a domesticated … [Read more...]
Gnome’s Monstercross Redux
I remember this ride well. It is a cornerstone of sorts for what I seek in cycling adventure. It was originally published on December 15th, 2008 for drunkcyclist.com. It was close to 200 miles in all. About half dirt and about half uphill as it went. I'm not sure what the kids are copyrighting this type of ride these days, but it was a mix of dirt and pavement laid across long and lonely roads. After a lazy mid-day start in Flagstaff, I … [Read more...]
Ape.X Produtti Naturale
We cañot have a moment of no winning. We thank this is a very large importance, and the equipment for victoire is here now, for most of a man's kind. Look. Take this technicologie to the level of champion by looking back in the time to our ancestor-mans. Did this mans hunt a bear to the dirt for a lady? OUI. Did this mans make wolf love under a sky of macho? OUI. Did this mans wear a wicking sport fancy shirt when he knock le faque out of … [Read more...]
Act like you care. She does.
The argument started again last night. It's a cut that won't heal; it's a slice on the palm of a miner. She warns other women not to marry a bike racer; Most always gone, not around much to change the diapers, not a trace of bedroom heroics, and the yard work/paint-patching would never happen were it not for the visits from Mother-in-law. Not much at all can be expected, save a lousy check from time to time, so she says. For me, … [Read more...]
