Living the dream!
I spent last weekend in Bend.
Pete and I drove to Crater Lake last Saturday morning. It was a pretty brutal 6 hourish drive. Stopped in Bend to get brunch and supplies and spent the day hiking along the north side of the caldera. Can you even handle this? Amazing. There was even snow on the side of the road, in [...]
Proof:
I am not always riding over people. Here is your bike back.
Shoplifting.
Well, someone snagged a fancy pair of pedals from right off the counter! The catch: they forgot to take the display pedal so, they only stole the left side. Cretin. I’ll let you return the other pedal and keep the box. It can be a trophy. So annoying, I was having a great day till [...]
Short track podium.

HealthNet crit!

Is XC racing dying? Did Landis dope? Is summer over already?

Though I did tear out the page from People magazine about Lance Armstrong, Jake [...]
Bike Portland. Bicycling magazine.
Just saw this article mentioned in Bikeportland. No wonder I got so many “vegan bicycling” inquiries over the weekend!
The blood of life.
I witnessed the strangest thing yesterday. These two punk kids were in the Blossoming Lotus getting lunch and glare appropriately as I walk in. One of them has put Murder City Devils all over his messenger bag and I note that his friend is wearing a Murder City Devils t-shirt as well. I order up [...]
Short track series #2
I feel really, really bad! I loathe lapping riders. I do not feel good about sticking it to lapped riders in the corners. So here is a big public apology to everyone I passed today. I tried to be polite and get around but, I’m pretty sure I was a little aggressive. I got 2nd [...]
