Professional Cycling Officially Sucks

September 1, 2020

cycling sucks podium girls women sex

I’m officially disgusted with professional cycling. Yep, took me a while. They’ve been whining about various things for years.  Wearing helmets, taking drugs, making too little money, making too much money, making bicycles too light, cheating with technology… all just silly. I could live with all that stuff.  Show me a sport where the top… [Read More]

Constant change…

A number of changes have occurred recently. No surprise right?!?!  🙂 House Most significantly, I sold my house at the airpark. Chalk that up to another lesson learning about myself. I’m not a homeowner. No big surprise there. Purchasing it a couple years ago seemed like the right thing to do. It wasn’t, at least… [Read More]

Mountain Biking to Stonehenge

August 2, 2019

stonehenge mountain bike

I know… Stonehenge was entirely unexpected! My son and I went mountain biking on some local trails this past weekend. As we were scooting down the trail – it popped out of nowhere! I thought it was a much longer ride to get there but apparently not. For some reason, I also thought it was… [Read More]

Thunderstorm

Not a tremendous amount going on this week. A number of storms have blown thru. Some of them have brought some serious wind. It seems that Missy is not prone to rolling over in “high” winds – not to be confused with tornado or hurricane force wind. 🙂 I had a super great visit from… [Read More]

Hiking… without a bike???

October 12, 2016

Colorado trail mountain bike hike hiking walk

Today I tried something different. Instead of going for a bike ride on the Colorado Trail, I went hiking instead. It actually turned out to be very enjoyable!  Hiking the steep, rocky climbs were so much easier without having to push a 30 pound bicycle up the hill!! I know… I know…. I am supposed… [Read More]

Two Year Cycling Accident Update – Shattered Humerus

October 4, 2016

On this day, two years ago, October 4, 2014, my life took a drastic change. That was the day of my cycling accident. The surgeons notes say: “Left distal humerus fracture. Highly comminuted. Open fracture.” This means the elbow end (distal) of my left upper arm bone (humerus) was badly shattered (highly comminuted) and bone… [Read More]

Colorado Trail Jeep Aspen Gold Yellow Mount Shavano

Aspen trees are amazing! This past weekend I went for a very nice ride on the Colorado Trail.  Specifically, the section titled CT-14.  This is far ways up Mount Shavano and the Aspen trees in this area maintain the pattern – Aspen trees are amazing!! 🙂 This time of year (late September), the Aspen trees… [Read More]

Open Season on Cyclists!

Ghost Bike White Bicycle Cyclist Killed Struck Murdered

These stories are becoming more and more common. 74 days in jail for running down, killing, and then leaving a cyclist to die. Drunk and drugged automobile drivers killing cyclists and NOT BEING PUNISHED!! What in the world is wrong with law enforcement?!?!?? What in the world is wrong with these crazy people?!?!?! Why are… [Read More]

History of the bike… and me

Pinarello Dogma carbon road bike bicycle handlebar bar rise

Some months ago, FatCylist.com posted a very interesting article on his relationships with his bicycles. I totally get that! As I thought about my years, I found the same sort of thing. I decided to document that history because, as I thought thru it, I experienced some strong feelings and really great memories. Shoot, I… [Read More]

Carbon Road Bike Bar – With a Rise??

August 3, 2016

The other day while watching Tour de France race coverage (and pouting that I was under doctors’ orders NOT to ride my bike (see this) I spotted Levi Leipheimer (a fellow Montanan) in a commercial about his Fondo (Levi’s GranFondo). Something was “interesting” about his bike. I had to freeze and slow-mo back and forth… [Read More]
