Zanconato custom cyclocross chainrings.
These just landed. They are beautiful. I’ll write more once I get them installed onto my cyclocross bike. Custom made, custom machined and designed. So much attention to detail. To fit Campagnolo CT, Campagnolo ST, 110 mm, and 130 mm Bolt Cirlces! Available combinations: Campagnolo CT – 36/42, 36/44, 38/44, 38/ 46 Campagnolo ST – [...]
Raced a bike for the first time in months last weekend!
And it went about as well as I expected. I had one speed. Kinda fast but, not particularly very, very fast. Last week I wrapped up my final big block of training miles for cx season. And this week was a “rest” week. Putting that in quotes cause I did very little resting. c’est la [...]
Have some empathy?
140 characters is not enough to respond to an offensive exchange I got roped into on Twitter. Normally, I ignore the peanut gallery on Twitter and other internet forums, etc. The internet allows people to spout off like idiots. I don’t care to get roped into arguments with “with white dudes on the internet“. My [...]
Put it on, it works fine. You shift with your brain.
Jesus. Can Parlee do no wrong? Dropping amazing bomb after amazing bomb! This is completely unreal. Yet, it is very, very real. I’ve been riding Shimano Di2 for 3 years. It is flawless and proven. Wins races, gets power washed daily, crashed, beaten up and ridden into the ground. Still works perfectly. I don’t have [...]
I have a few windows, with dozens of tabs open, in my browser.
Does that make me productive or counter-productive? I stopped reading my Google Reader account. I was trying to follow and keep up with so much cycling, art and music culture I had thousands of new things to read in my inbox daily! Too much. Too much. Too much culture. Still trying to wrap my head [...]
“damn it, up date your web site once in a while”
Ok, thanks I will. My buddy Jacob won a bike race in Uraguay. My friend Chris is still building some great bicycles: And damn it, worst news of the week. R.I.P. Poly Styrene

Cyclocross crushing out. So much love for cyclocross.
Let’s start with this: a March (yes, MARCH!) cyclocross race near Tokyo. I have no idea what is going on, if it is a small training race series or if it is a school race. Any of my Japanese pals want to comment and let me know? Seriously, the Keirin school style helmet covers and [...]
Who knew Willow Koerber was such a hippie?!
I did not. But I love it. Her touchy-feely dialogues on her website echo my similar emotional sentiments without my self-aware approach. Deep down, secretly, I am a big hippie. I don’t have any crystals or anything. But, I hella feel things. And I approve of stripper heels. HELLA. I can’t get enough of Hennie [...]
Finding motivation.
I’m sitting indoors at PBS-UEF watching Paris-Nice on Versus. Fielding phone calls and text messages about results from the early season Oregon road series this (last Sunday) morning. I’m super proud! Really genuinely proud. Which makes me reflect on where I am at right now. I’m trying to discover the drive again myself. Trying to [...]
