Tour de Slowpoke

I’ve enjoyed a few rides on the geared road bike recently, but I’ve also started watching some bike racing on TV, and boy is that a humbling combination.  Not that I expect to be in the same league as the pros, but they outclass me so many times over, it’s just embarrassing.
Today when I got [...]

Craziest pic I have seen in a looong time…

Car crashes into bike race. One dead, 10 hurt. Story HERE

Faster Mustache 3yr and beer fest

Saturday Mershon, Graham and I met up to head over to the East Atlanta Beer Fest, then to the Faster Mustache 3yr party at Lennys. This was mine and Grahams second time at the beer fest, Mershons maiden voyage. We rode the bikes from Oakhurst to the venue, and ran into Hodge from Addictive Cycles [...]

slump vs Paris-Roubaix

Lately I’ve been in a slump and not riding. Maybe it really isn’t a slump though. The weather hasn’t been the greatest. Everytime I start to think the trails will be dry enough to ride it rains a little again. Now we are going through “blackberry winter”, which has nothing to do with a handheld [...]

Creative wrenching

Occasionally you will run across a problem during a bike repair or build that requires some abstract thinking to over come. Recently, we encountered just such a situation while transferring the parts from Grahams Fooj onto his new SSR. The Cinelli bars had previously been wrapped by someone who decided to use an old wine [...]

Georgia Cup Series Gainesville Criterium

Sunday I headed over to Gainesville to check out the criterium portion of the Georgia Cup Series. There was also a time trial and road race as part of the Gainesville stop. Since the criterium followed a short route around the town square, it was the most spectator friendly of the events, and also looked [...]

momentary lapse

Not much happening bike-wise for me as far as riding right now. Its the start of a new quarter of school, and the weather has been kind of bunk. I am going to check out the Georgia Cup Series Gainesville Criterium in downtown Gainesville this weekend. Taking the fixed gear with me. Should be a [...]

GM does not equal Specialized

The April Fools hoax about GM buying Specialized that got picked up and reported as -real news- by several of the big biking industry blogs was pretty funny.

upcoming goals

Before I can do any more riding, I am going to have to swing by Addictive and have my bottom bracket tightened. Hopefully just tightening it is what it needs…but I wouldn’t be suprised if I destroyed it. I could swear that someone owned my ‘Goose before I did…it has ALWAYS had a clunkiness to [...]
