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]
Mountain Biking to Stonehenge
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]
Two Year Cycling Accident Update – Shattered Humerus
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]
Aspen Trees and Riding the Colorado Trail
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!
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
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??
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]
e-Bike
Whether it is obvious or not (from my lack of posts), I have been sitting around doing absolutely nothing. The fun-to-suck ration is not good. My frustration level is about as high as it gets but I am REALLY trying to follow my doctors’ orders. By the way, I saw him this week and I… [Read More]
Lacking Excitement
Arm Surgery #4 is now complete. My surgeon was happy post-op so I am happy. The key now is for me to do absolutely nothing with it so it can heal as it is supposed to. It is in a very secure cast and sling. This means that I’m not doing much – I haven’t… [Read More]
Surgery #3, check
It is MAY!! Better still??? I am no longer on pain killers from my arm surgery last week (though occasionally I wish I were)!! Apparently arm surgery #3 went fine but I am in a cast so cannot really tell. This time, collateral ligament reconstruction. I am hopeful… but scared. Still all due to this… [Read More]
