At least I got to ride my bike
Posted in biking, grumbles gripes and pointless bitching, Trek 800 on Dec 11th, 2008
Yep, I rode my old-trusty Trek 800 today to run a few errands. Too bad I managed to complete none of my errands. It was an extravagantly frustrating day, to be honest. I had two pieces of business to accomplish. #1 was to go downtown and correct the ownership record on my old house. For […]
Hello from Athens, GA

Okay, so this computer is being a total butthead and it took me almost 20 minutes to actually connect with WordPress, but I’m gonna give this my best shot. First things first. I have had this song stuck in my head for the past three days, and now you do too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDw9xgSmSc[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDw9xgSmSc] “She don’t eat […]
Hello from Paducah, KY
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, Adventures, biking, Food & Snacks, Redline Monocog 29er, videos on Oct 23rd, 2008
So, so! Now, we’re in Kentucky, and a very good Kentucky it is, so far. Paducah’s got about the cutest old downtown I’ve seen in ages all fancy brickwork and colorful painted trim. The shops look a little twee, and it becomes a lovely ghosttown after 5:00 p.m., but during the day, it’s awfully charming. […]
Hello from St. Louis
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, Adventures, biking, Redline Monocog 29er, Ruby the Dog on Oct 20th, 2008
Well, we KATY-trailed it for a couple of days and got to just outside of St. Louis last night. After I get done here at the library, we’re going to the grocery store and getting back on the road-road. We had a great camping spot last night in an abandoned barn. Couldn’t hardly have been […]
So…like for two weeks, I basically didn't exist
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, Adventures, biking, dumb things I have done, grumbles gripes and pointless bitching, Redline Monocog 29er, Too lazy to classify on Oct 8th, 2008
A not so amusing side-note I failed to mention the last time I logged on (by the way, I’m in Kingman, AZ right now…Hi!) is that I lost my driver’s license very, very early on in the trip…like possibly on the airplane heading for CA. Anyway, for the past two-ish weeks, I have had no […]
Hello from Tonopah, NV!
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, Adventures, biking, Redline Monocog 29er on Oct 2nd, 2008
Well, well, we’ve been on the road for a week now and we’re taking a rest day in Tonopah. NV, known as the Queen Of The Silver Camps. Tonopah is pretty darn quiet these days, but we met a heck of a nice fellow running a used bookshop (Whitney’s Bookshelf) in the downtown area. I’ve got […]
WTF Is She Riding?
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, biking, Redline Monocog 29er on Sep 16th, 2008
So, I figure that a few bike nerds are going to look at this site and ask the question that heads up this entry. What the Eff is she riding? How did a singlespeed mountain bike become a touring rig? Why did a singlespeed mountain bike become a touring rig? Is that even legal or […]
To answer questions:
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, Adventures, biking, meta on Sep 12th, 2008
To answer both Doug and MD, there’s not a route as such. We’re taking a mid-southerly approach…probably leaving CA via Yosemite National park, then obviously we’ll cross a little Nevada, and go along northern AZ & NM (we’re going to be crossing the Four Corners area I’m pretty sure). Then we may cross through the […]
A little more about the tour:
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, biking on Sep 9th, 2008
Ruby is going to be going on an extended sleepover with her friend Nieve. In other words, our friends James and Dahlia, whom we’ll owe BIG TIME, are going to babysit the pup while we’re riding across country. Their 4-year-old son is really excited about that. Joel’s mom and Dahlia are splitting cat-sitting duties. Both […]
