Today started out a little frustrating. I took off from home to head to work, and heard a weird noise coming from my back wheel. Turns out a staple had made itself at home in the tread of my tire. I tried to pull it out, but one of the ends broke off in the […]

Good grief, I had one of those days! Due to basic laziness, I got a kind of late start heading out the the bank, but I figured that it would be no biggie, since they’re open until noon on Saturdays. So I headed downtown with my paycheck in hand, ready to take care of some […]

I had a pretty significant day on the bike today. I had a lot of errands to run, and I took the long route, so to speak, because I really needed to blow out the cobwebs. I think I got in the riding mode on Sunday night; Team Frank Stallone‘s Westport Roadie Douche Crit was […]

A ride to Leavenworth

Joel’s been re-modeling the Burley for me, and yesterday we went out for a ride to Leavenworth which was the first trip out for me with this bike in its new configuration. Not so long ago, I was trying to sell this bike. Nobody wanted to buy it, however, and Joel convinced me that it […]

Last night, on my way back home from the Blue Moose ride, I had a hell of a stiff neck. I rode in the drops most of the way down to Prairie Village and most of the way through the group ride, because I can brake WAY better in that position, but in the interest […]

Instead of tediously HTML-ing all of the pictures over here to LJ, I’m just going to point you to the photo gallery I created for this occasion. The photos are all pretty well narrarated, and anyone can leave comments either there or […]

This was drag racing. We had two-block one-on-one sprints. It was also drag races in the sense that men wore dresses/skirts/lots […]

I’m going to go play tonight. Bicycle Drag Races, out by Acme and Grinder’s. 2-block sprints. All guys must wear dresses or skirts, all girls must sport facial hair of some description. I’ll be back tonight or early tomorrow with pictures and a write up. I’m excited. This is liable to be a pretty fun […]

I blew a tire and fucked up my tail light today. Unrelated incidents. I don’t know when I lost my taillight, but it was on the back of my bike this morning and the light part was gone when I got home tonight. The backing, mount, and clip are still attatched to the seatpost, but […]

I had a pretty lousy day today. I’ve been off kilter for about a week. Stressed. Depressed. Feeling horrible that all I can do at the moment for anyone suffering on account of the Katrina disaster is donate to the Red Cross, and I can’t donate much, at that, because I’m broke–feedback loop into stress, […]
