Rivulet featured on Grit & Glimmer
Heidi and I met on a wet, cold September afternoon as she prepared for her mid-afternoon cyclocross race. The rain had started the night previous and if my memory serves me correctly did not let up until the Men’s Elite race that evening. I doubt that she remembers our meeting as she was in full [...]
If you lived here.
Fifty years ago Long-boarding was sidewalk surfing, a faster, farther variation of skateboarding, and now it’s not. Its evolved into something esoteric and fast like a medieval duel in the future. A future where post-apocalyptic nerd warriors in faded but colorful leathers, duct tape, aerodynamic helmets and two kinds of sneakers, race speedboards 45 miles [...]
In an Epic Too Small to be Tragic
The final installment of Rapha’s Road Journal for this summers Continental series is up on their site. Carey S-H posted some wonderful photos and delivered copy that probably (not sure it deserves it) did The Big (Big) Loop justice. This installment was special for me as this was the leg / ride that I was [...]

The Monkey and I went to the Ballard Crit this weekend. Good. Fun. Racing. We got to meet the entire Erbeck brood. They aren’t adorable or anything. I wonder who saw the new movie with Zach Galifianakis?
Where Are You Go
I am in awe… a beautiful and brave adventure. I need to pull my socks up and follow my dreams to capture something of this nature. Thanks for forwarding Aaron I wonder if True will tear into his ‘real’ cake. Better yet, I wonder if his dad will make him bacon for breakfast?

I’m not making strain Said, “Someone’s paying When something’s too cheap Somebody’s paying something” You said, “Some one’s [...]
TraumaMan
I went for a ride this last Sunday with Aaron E. (see previous Rapha Continental post). Needless to say, the ride was excellent and we spent much of the time getting to know each other a bit better. Reality is, I am pretty sure that I got more out of it than Aaron. Simply due [...]
Tarra & Bella
My buddy Shaun shared this with me. He owns a sweet Bella of his own. let’s hope he doesn’t “invest” in an elephant. I wonder if Elisha has ever ridden an elephant?
