So Verča and I headed out for a Saturday morning ride. We weren’t in a hurry, because it was supposed to rain all week-end. But by the time we roused ourselves it was nice and we took a quick jaunt.
I figured [...]

So just a quick couple of pics from this past week-end.
Verča hasn’t slowed down too much being 6 months pregnant. She does seem to have figured out how to take better photos than me though. Not sure how that happened.
Anyway, this was a nice fall ride in Brdy, 20minutes south of Prague.
It was about 12° [...]

So for the last week of her full-time work with the research hospital (she has started her new position with the Academy of Sciences now, and still consults with the hospital) Verča had a conference in Vienna, Austria to go to. It was a Wednesday – Sunday deal (6-10 June) [...]

Ah the spring opener.  Where we get to see how fat everyone got over the winter and how annoyingly slim Joe stays, regardless of the season.

Pavé Pavé Pavé! is a blog written by Whit Yost, a Philly resident with a love of all things cobbled, sweaty, and Euro.  His new site is a handy guide to the Spring Classics, with links to good coverage, informed commentary, and actual first hand knowledge of some of the courses.  I’ve been meaning to [...]

OK, so this may sound crazy to some of you, but who’s in for the 24hours of Levi.
It is June 13/14 in Levi, in Finnish Lapland, and requires NO use of lights!

Veronika and I will be driving from Prague to Copenhagen, then ferrying over to Sweden; will drive to Stockholm; then either drive or take [...]

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 had some yoga [...]
