Amish giants are cool

How many times have you had the opportunity to have your pic taken
with some good friends and an Amish giant? Couldnt pass up this
opportunity!

Can you be serious for 5 minutes???

It was freaking cold before our pain mountain TT. Everyone makes fun of me for bringing the sarape and wearing it. But I tell you, this thing is ultra warm. And fashionable. Add the TT helmet and I really cant imagine a better clubbing getup.
Getting ready with a hold from the official.
Looking Pro is 1/2 the battle. My time was aweful up the mountain.

Lucas pulled so hard out of the gate that his pedal broke! This kid is fast and is just getting faster.
Elliot, God bless him, cant leave the house because he "spent too much money on food"/stayed out too late with baby time! Good/bad for him. He looks pro on his TT bike, rocking my jacket because it was 41 degrees!

Really Late, Really Weird

Wick and I have been putting in some nasty time on the bike. I am trying to formalize reasons (goals) as to why I am doing that and shape my summer. But I have found that I just love it. I mean, we have spend at least 8 hours in the garage just tweaking setups and cleaning. I think my bike is finally clean enough to be represented this weekend. Tour of Ephrata in PA. Elliot (flavaflav), Lucas (watch your girlfriend son), and wick nasty and I will tackle 3 stages in 2 days.

Anyway, when CB and I rolled strong to Europe, we saw some really crazy stuff. Absinth is illegal in the US because it is a hallucinogenic. This bottle was really expensive (sold by an asian lady in Prague (asians own all convenience stores in the world)) and really sickening with the worlds largest beetle. Sick. Gross. Barf.






Then you have some really weird artistic statements. I think these east/west Europeans are really confused. In 2000, sculptures by Czech artist David Černý of crawling babies were temporarily attached to the prague tv tower's pillars. The sculptures were admired by many and were returned in 2001 as a permanent installation.



I will do my best to post from the road joker-style.

The olympic champ

If bike porn exists, its not much different than this. Paola Pezzo won the olympic gold and used to crush all comers on the world cup circuit. I give props to Evolution Cycles in DC who have these two posters displayed.
