Starcrossed Cyclocross race

Sep 17th, 2009 | By admin

It’s all about the ‘cross right now.  This is a fun event that was started and run by my friend Steve Westover when we both worked at K2 Bike years ago.  I don’t know if he still promotes or represents it, but it has turned into a national-level race and is a complete blast to [...]



how you like yo’ ribs?

Aug 31st, 2009 | By admin

I don’t know what the deal is, but the past 9-12 months have not been happy ones for Chewy’s ribcage.  Let me elaborate…
To be honest, I’m not sure if I’m going to be starting with Incident #1 or #2, but sometime in November of ‘08, I did something to crack a rib.  It’s been a [...]



tales from the liver, pt.4

Jul 7th, 2009 | By admin

Day 5 consisted of a picnic, which was the final event of the 20th Reunion.  Zeno and I rode bikes to the event, which was about 15 or so miles and of course we were thirsty when we got there, so we got into more beer, and as it turns out, I’d found a full [...]



good on ya, buddy

You know how, when you’re young, you think that “one day I’ll grow up and…”?  And if you’re past a certain age, you realize that “oh shit!  I may have grown up!”?  It’s like the song ‘Time’ by Pink Floyd:
“…no-one told you when to run
you’ve missed the starting gun.”
The point here is that I had [...]



oh yeah…

I almost forgot.  I put a couple new images in the gallery.  The Ballard Crit was this weekend, and I managed to get a couple decent shots.  That’s all.



storytime haiku

Jun 5th, 2009 | By admin

Yesterday, Dave and Anna and I went out on their boat for some sun and water and generally just to complain about the sunny weather, and how terrible life is, and why would we even hang out together if we clearly don’t get along, you know what I mean?
The plan was to go out on [...]



the giro d’italia

Jun 1st, 2009 | By admin

And of course, you’re expecting to hear all the gossip about what the hell was Danilo Di Luca thinking not using a TT bike on the final stage…how Denis Menchov ate crap with less than 1k to go and still won both the time trial AND the Giro overall….but no. Not today.
Tonight I was [...]



my new ride showed up

May 13th, 2009 | By admin

Extra special awesome happy funtime thanks to Dudeman for going 100 miles out of his way to deliver the Nutter Butter Beater to me yesterday. I tuned it up this morning, and…oh my goodness. I know it’s only a $10 bike, but I’m such a bike snob that I’m going to be required [...]



did I forget to mention my new bike?

Apr 7th, 2009 | By admin

I believe I did.  My good buddy Dudeman was at out of town on my birthday. After getting back to town, he recently was at a swapmeet, when he noticed this thing and decided that it would be the perfect gift. I agree. Let’s just say that it’s the perfect grocery-getter, or [...]



for reals?

Feb 19th, 2009 | By admin

I was perusing DrunkCyclist.com when I found a link to this post.  Okay, this person is misinformed, hateful and narrow-minded.  Fine.  But then I looked a little further into her site and found her blacklist of people who are/were hated by god.  ??? WTF?  If I’m correct about the bible, god doesn’t hate anyone, right?  [...]
