infinitely sustainable pace

Changing directions today, talking about a book. Years ago when I was preparing to leave New Zealand, my friend Brenda handed me this book, Danziger’s Travels by Nick Danziger,  to read on the long plane ride back to the states. I was captivated by his story of traversing the silk route in the early ’80s. [...]

If we’re friends on Facebook you might have seen this one already. Such a beautiful sunset bears repeating: Feeling a bit revived after a weekend of taking it easy and looking at outside temps of 62 degrees, I opted for a nice long lunch ride. The only issue was that rifle season started this weekend [...]

Well, it was no trip to beautiful Tahoe like last November, but somehow I survived. 7 long days and 7 long nights in a conference center in the Hill Country of Texas. Lots of work, but also lots of friends from over the years. After getting home Friday evening, I spent the weekend  decompressing, recharging, catching [...]

On it.

Well, after nearly two months of being a homebody it’s back on the road for a bit. I know these past couple of months have been pretty scintillating – what with the neverending groin bruise saga and everything. In case you were wondering, the groin trauma is still there.

Had to take off the jacket and ride in shirt sleeves and shorts. Did the ride a new way since I heard that they opened up access again; [...]

#occupybikeseat on twitter Sunny again today. If I can, I’ll get out and occupy Town Loops a bit – but according to my calendar it’s not looking good. Three days to go. Two big events in two different cities, two different teams. Hate to wish away time, but I can’t wait to be on the [...]

On Friday the interwebs were a all buzz about the immenent start to winter. Southern New England and Mid-Atlantic were targeted for a big October dump. With the expectation of impending weather and the first glimpse of the sun after a week of serious steel grey skies, I grabbed the Superfly and headed out for a quickie during [...]

Last night I was working away on the Bike29 site, taking photos of new products, editing photos, uploading new items, trying to do the SEO thing, and realized that there’s a big anniversary coming up. One year ago, tomorrow, I took this latest iteration of the site live. There wasn’t really anything wrong with the older version [...]
