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 [...]

celcius is better

it feels much more appropriate to say that it is currently -10 degrees! (14°F just isn’t quite as impressive.) anyway, we have about 8cm (π”) of fresh snow in the city now, after a good snowfall all day yesterday. and it was -13 (8°F) when I rode home from work. quite fun playing in the [...]

ok, again: the happy yum yum ride.

yeah, so, it didnt work the first time.  maybe no one HEARD that there is more food than riding.  More drink than pedal.  More relaxing than huff puffing.  Well, here it is, again:  The Happy Yum Yum Ride.  We gotta pick a date that people can make, and really, let us know, and if we [...]

tiny island ride

we havnt held a ride in a while, and frankly its getting high time that changed.  i mean, it’s super cold and windy out, which is a recipe for good riding. actually it’s not, which is why i propose a ride that has very little to do with riding and everything to do with a [...]

Can it be done?

snoop vase 2.jpg, originally uploaded by jamesjohnsonart. A ride on saturday, the 20th!  or sunday… the 21st.  (apologies, I was obviously looking at the martian calendar… the first time). Ole Saint Nick will be in town, so we gotta get at least one ride in with him. I propose taking it easy: ie no mountain [...]

Mel’s ‘Happy Yum Yum Ride’ (last weekend o’ the month!)

Um.  Hmm.  Oh.  Ok.  The Happy Yum Yum Ride will start at 5 East 7th street, where you will indulge in coffee, tea, hot chocolate, peppermint schnapps, whiskey on the rocks, (AC/DC?) cocaine…we’re gunna roll outta here, like pedal to the metal, at like…. 9.30…that’s AM, slacker.  Um we’re gunna ride some, a little bit, [...]

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 [...]

veteran’s day east county ramble

john g of empathytest is holding/hosting/having a road ride next tuesday.  knowing john, it will be scenic and back roadsy, slow enough to leave the skin suit at home, fast enough to not be bored.  for those that dont know about john’s project (unrelated to this ride) he is riding all of the roads in [...]
