C’mon Versus

February 21st, 2010 · Comments · Bikes

Here is today’s listing for “Cyclysm Sundays”:

Notice in the description:
…this weekly cycling show dedicated to same day race coverage…
So this is how to promote coverage of a race that took place Feb 7-12? Same day? WTF?
While I am pleased to receive Versus as opposed to some of my friends it seems as though they could [...]

House Industries Script Black Jersey
This is one of the best worded product descriptions I have ever read. The most pointed observation is this sentence:
…even if you leave it hanging on that hook with your $300 Assos bibs that your significant other had specific instructions not to wash on the regular cycle lest they get [...]

November rides…

November 3rd, 2009 · Comments · Bikes, Books, Rides

Today – 34
MTD – 69
YTD – 3550
I set out for lunch today not feeling so hot. I rode hard yesterday for lunch coming in at an 18.5 average then commuted home and back this morning. I had the right clothes on but I was cold. And route-weary…I tried to piece something together before I left [...]

USGP CX Louisville KY – Day 2

October 25th, 2009 · Comments · Bikes

I packed up the minivan and headed down to the bike race this morning. I schlepped my small wheeled double stroller through the grass and mud. I gave the babies a run of the place for awhile. Saw some of the usual suspects and enjoyed the great morning.
We arrived to see the Men’s Cat 2/3 [...]

Clothing Objects of Desire

October 23rd, 2009 · Comments · Bikes

If you spend very much time perusing teh internets looking at the many cycling blogs it is inevitable that you will begin to lust after many things. I am currently trying to think through how to acquire these generally high priced goodies. First up is the delightfully nerdy House Industries Script Black Jersey. The picture [...]

52-42

October 10th, 2009 · Comments · Bikes, Rides

The climb is roughly 1 mile and averages 8-9%. I started up in the 42t ring, there is a strong opening pitch that sent me straight to the easiest ratio available to me – 42/25. A few rotations in the shifter moved and clunked me right back into the 21t cog. The down tube shifters on the bike do not currently have enough tension to hold the gearing in place under load.

A Ride with George

October 10th, 2009 · Comments · Bikes

I recently stumbled upon this trailer for a documentary put together on the very popular George Hincapie:

I think it looks awesome…
Fortunately our very cool local video store (and how many towns can legitimately brag about a very cool video store these days…) Wild and Woolly Video is owned by a bike geek. He already carries [...]

Local cycling coverage

August 12th, 2009 · Comments · Bikes, Out and About

Two weekends ago a very unfortunate accident happened in Louisville during a triathlon. A man heavily under the influence plowed in to a gentleman from the race and killed him. By all accounts the driver was a ticking time bomb and it appears he will have the book thrown at him.

Riding through the summertime…

August 12th, 2009 · Comments · Bikes, Rides

MTD – 170
YTD – 2408
I have ridden many miles since my last update. I have found it increasingly difficult to maintain these updates I guess as many people do…
I have learned first hand the feel of pack dynamics. I was behind a gentleman on the Sunday afternoon ride who took some train tracks slowly and [...]

A New Mount…

April 25th, 2009 · Comments · Bikes

I picked up some classic lugged steel from a Craigslist seller. I promptly took it to OYLC for a tune up, new brake levers, and this sweet orange bar tape. It’s a late 70’s Azuki Japanese bike. More photos to come.
