Park beer. Secret case. Ipod with built-in speakers. Lay in the sun and forget it all.

Man I get to slackin when summer is around. If I had to do this as part of my job I’d probably be a little more punctual, but hey, you’re getting what you pay for. So what was it, a couple weeks ago already? We went to Rickreall for Justine’s birthday and there were a [...]

Sometimes you have to leave the office, take a drive down 99w, and spend three hours looking at planes. Yesterday was the perfect day for doing just that. So I picked up Case and Adam and we pointed Marv south/southwest. When driving down Hwy 18 the four buildings look large, but not giant. When you [...]

Found this site Double O 2 through La Gazzetta this morning. Another ex courier with an eye for layout. He’s got a lot of great images, but these stood out from the rest. I’m sure you’re aware by the lack of fixed gear upskirt shots, that I don’t take pictures of hot whips very often. [...]

Let’s try this one more time. Yesterday’s post disappeared. It’s been really hot here in Portland. Anything above 80 degrees is when it gets uncomfortable. So when it hits the high 90′s for a couple days in a row, all motivation comes to a halt. But we’ve been working on a rock wall for the [...]

Did you know it gets hot in Portland? Did you know that people in Portland whine? If you don’t live here, I’m sure you can put those two things together when I tell you it was over 90 degrees this weekend. Awesome. The heat keeps me off the streets, as heat exhaustion is pretty lame, [...]

So it’s Friday the 13th. A full week since we were in Seattle. Sometimes when I get back from a trip I’ve been waiting on, it’s hard to write about it or put photos up. I think I get a tad depressed when it’s all over and I have to go back to work. So [...]

Reposted from La Gazzetta della Bici.

I spotted myself in the first bit. What a great time and a good reminder that I hate large crowds of people I don’t know. But I’m a hermit that way.

I once started a magazine called Cranked. I assembled a small group of friends and thanks to a favorable work environment we put out four issues of local cycling culture focused on Seattle and Portland. After three issues of cheap printing we bit the bullet and put out a large sum of money for issue [...]

So we’re headed to Seattle for the day/night. Dead Baby Downhill year number 14. Yikes. And tomorrow we’re leaving Seattle early to head south to Ranger Creek. The forecast calls for rain, but by god I’m riding the Palisades and I’m going to stand on the top of the Noble Nob. That is unless there [...]

I-205 bike path. Same path. Farther north. Blurry pictures will have to do, as the stench of old cigarette butts and bus patrons puffing on the path is really hard to stomach, especially after so many beers in the park. Gross.

Not being into hot dusty sprint races I choose to volunteer my time during short track rather than race. Call me a woosy if you like, I don’t mind. Course marshaling is great for watching a race develop before your eyes. Last night I watched ol’ Lefty keep a nice spot in order to take [...]

She’s ready to ride at three months. Thanks Pilder.
