One of my favorite events when we used to live on Alki was the Car Free Days [now called Summer Streets], I’ve written about it before here and here. Walk. Bike. Shop. Play. Breathe. On Sunday, May 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Alki Avenue SW from California Way SW to 63rd Avenue SW [...]
Avenir RainCity Panniers
If there is one thing mostly people in the country know about Seattle, is that it occasionally rains here. If you happen to ride your bike on any given day between October and May around here, you probably have yourself some sort of waterproof bag. Something to keep your goods from gettin’ all wet. I’ve [...]
Why I love my hammock
Last week sometime I posted a photo somewhere [on my quickblog] of a bud relaxing in a hammock I lent him, in Moab. Since I posted that I had a bunch of folks email and ask me what hammock that was, and if I like it, and all that jazz. Long story short; I think [...]
I’m in the weeds
I’m in the weeds … Off the reservation, got voted off the island, fell off the wagon … Nearly any analogy that you can think of about being off the program … I’m on it. One thing about having a goal so far away is, it affords me the time to get back on the [...]
Friday Fun Video – Duthie Hill
I stumbled upon this [now aged] video while working perusing the interwebs. I watched it not really know where this place was, and was only half paying attention to the words, at the end I popped “Duthie Hill” in the googler, and was astonished to find out it’s right here! Just outside of Seattle. Realizing [...]
Team Carbo Rocket: At the Start
In case you haven’t heard, or haven’t read up, here, or here; Team Carbo Rocket has formed up, and in the end … I MADE THE TEAM !!! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am, or how honored, or how thankful I feel. I got the word while we were shooting [...]
Behind the scenes at the Whistler Sliding Center
My good friend Jacob was fortunate enough to score a job with the Vancouver Olympics. [A little aside: this guy serendipitously ends up all over the world doing all the cool things that you and I wish we were doing. That's a story for a different day though.]
Team CarboRocket 2010
First things first, I’d like to congratulate all of the members of the 2010 Team CarboRocket. I have no doubt that you will overcome your obstacles and kick butt in the names of all of those who applied. Second, I wish I was among you …
Friday Fun Film: Signal Cycles Cyclocross
I realize that this is basically an advertisement, but it sure is a sexy one. Just all the best kinds of bike goodness. Take 3 minutes and enjoy.–
It’s time for a Walkabout, or maybe a Rideabout
For the longest time, I have felt like I needed something. Like I needed to go and talk to the trees, stick my feet in a river, listen to the wind, and count the stars. I grew up out in the country. Where on a cloudy moonless night you can’t see your hand 2 inches [...]
An open letter to Team CarboRocket
Today I was reading one of my favorite blogs and I came across this press release: Team CarboRocket is looking for a few good, ordinary folks who are on the verge of doing something extraordinary. You may not even know what that extraordinary thing is yet, but you can feel it burning inside of you. [...]
The Butterfly Circus
Wednesday Thursday’s World Bettering Video. I’m not kidding you really need to watch this.
LIVESTRONG Challenge 2010
The Seattle LIVESTRONG Challenge Ride is a mere 6 months away. I’ll be taking part again this year. And to be honest, I couldn’t be more excited; more nervous; more proud; and more honored. More excited, because it feels good to do good. To raise money to fight a horrible thing like cancer, to get [...]
