super updates from the czech republic

I haven’t been blogging much, but neither have you! So here is some reverse chronology for you: __________ This past week-end (Jan31-Feb1) was the UCI Cyclocross World Championship races in some place I can’t spell or say in the Netherlands. We all know I love me some time spent in the nether regions, but Verča [...]

more super czech updates

The week-end before, Verča was ill so I ventured out Saturday (Jan24) on my own again. I drove about 30 minutes outside of the city to the SW edge of the Brdy area where we often go biking. This SW edge borders the prospective US Radar site, and is quite picturesque. But I didn’t take [...]

super czech updates continue

The week before that we met up with some of our nutty friends to drink to celebrate a peripheral wedding. We went to a ‘concept’ bar with 3 metered taps in the middle of the table where it was a competition to see which table could out drink the others in the bar and via [...]

some other non-totally biking czech stuff too, but whatever

Some other non ride updates as well (still rocking that bangin’ reverse chronology schizzle): So Verča’s nephew keeps threatening to take us out bowling, so for a little preparation last Friday evening Verča and I decided to go try and practice first.

Merry Freaking Christmas!

the true sign of Christmas in the Czech Republic, a bloody carp slaughterer walking the cobbled streets. He wishes you a Merry Christmas by the way, just don’t cross him, cause he’s got a sharp knife, is a killer, and is not afraid to wrestle you to the ground and make you smell like fish! [...]

czech ride, next thursday. yes thursday.

so cory and veronika (eds.) are going to be in town for less time than it takes a 3 toed sloth to blink six times.  regardless, we’ll be holding a ride on the highly inconvenient(eds.) working day of thursday the 20th.  this means you can’t come.  sorry.  but, really, how often do you see these [...]

bike commuting in a big city

_ So I forgot to post this yesterday. I saw this lady riding to work (I’m guessing to the nunnery) [ok, so it wasn’t that nun. She was in Italy of something. But it definitely was a nun. She was actually a good bit younger and kinda cute. That’s OK to say right? And she [...]
