Responsible Parenting

While helping out at a checkpoint for an alleycat race A discovered the joy of sitting on an overturned bucket and drinking a beer. Well, 50% of that at least. When was the last time you sat around and drank a few beers with friends in a parking lot? Long live bicycles, beers, and friends.

In this corner, weighing in at roughly 920 McDonald's Quarter Pounders with cheese, is a guy who doesn't even feel like trying to make excuses.

Roubaix photos now online

No. I haven't been blogging. I've barely been riding. But I've been to Paris-Roubaix. The pics, such as they are, are up. More someday soon, probably when I return stateside.

And it begins - again. Really.

I've returned to the world of tracking mileage. For the past year and a half, I have had no idea how far or how fast (slowly) I've gone. Now I will know. And so will you - if you have nothing better to do that to look here. I'll also publish it in my notes on FB.

Each entry like this can be tracked under Weight and Mileage. The first one commences tomorrow.

Biking Vicariously

Spotted on Hamilton Avenue in Northside near Shake It records. I was tempted to steal the saddle. I'm intrigued by the lack of straps on the toe-clips - particularly in light of the fact that it lacks brakes.

Another swipe at the big guys and their inability to use the internet

NEWS FLASH

LANCE TT BIKE STOLEN!!!

How do the crack journalists at 41x15 know this? Because Lance Armstrong posted it to twitter mere moments ago.

VeloNews? Not yet. NYTimes. Not yet. Cycling news. Not yet. Drunkcyclist (he doesn't care anyway).

41x15. Oh yeah.

Okay. Now back to work.

Amgen Tour of California and I'm Still Out of Shape

I have nothing clever to say, but it has commenced. The season is on. I am fat and out of shape. So what's new?

Only that I'm disappointed that Floyd Landis placed 90th and Hamilton doesn't consider himself "a contender." That means that despite the fact that everybody's there, the race will look the same.

So we're back. More to come.
