Seriously, what is it with dickhead drivers who scold riders for "owning the road?" They get all hot about how fast I go (yeah, me, fast.) And then tailgate me. If I slow down then they get pissed because in going too slow. So which is it a-hole? I'm going 10 over already, then you... Continue Reading →
A Day Like Any Other
It was a day like any other, until it wasn't. The days blend into one another and become indistinguishable from each other over the long term. "What'd you do Monday?" "Went to work, came home, did some chores, went to sleep." Right? I could exchange 'Monday' for any other day and the short version of... Continue Reading →
Good Friday 2018-ACH

GMR and Cold Brew
Oh, GMR how I missed you, but with a bike I wasn't confident in, I didn't want to get up in the hills and break down. Nick at Valley Desmo got it working right a couple weeks ago. Now with it fixed it was time for a GMR run, and to take Robert up there for... Continue Reading →
