Well, we made it down there and we made it back, and we had a good damn time while out of town. Joel, Christi, & I left out of KCMO on Friday morning around 8:30 a.m. We made it down to Blanchard Springs in the early afternoon, giving us plenty of time to set up […]

Why the hell not? I don’t do anything in the wintertime, which is when the heaviest practising takes place, and I obviously need a new way to hurt myself. Of course, there’s no guarantee I’d get on the team, but I think with regular practice between now and the official tryouts, I could get to […]

I was riding from my house to Landahl, I got caught in an uneven seam in the road, and subsequently saw the road coming to meet me very, very quickly. I ended up with a small cut on my forehead that bled with great enthusiasm, and road rash on my left cheek, left shoulder, left […]

“Seriously, I am not joking. If I had the money, this is the tattoo I would get. On my arm, right here, I’d get a life-sized corndog. With a bite taken out of it. And there would be a GIANT silverfish crawling out of the bite.” – Justin E. “Can you make me a hat…out […]

Bonktoberfest for those not in the know, is the fortuitous combination of mountain-biking, camping, October, and Arkansas. It’s a great big long-weekend of fun in Syllamo State Park, near Blanchard Springs, AR involving riding the absolutely gorgeous trails out there, ingenious feats of campfire and campstove cookery, and shows of homebrewing prowess among the cyclists who […]

Audrey, don’t tell Mom, PLEASE! So, Monday night, I played Friz for a couple of hours, which got a little rowdy, and per expectation, I fell off my bike a few times, but I didn’t personally incur any major injuries. Actually, only one injury of note took place, when Static re-sprained his wrist. I bruised […]

So in lieu of any kind of coherent, sensible, serious, and meaty writng, I’m going to give you a brain-dump of snipppets. 1. My hair remains challenging and defiant. I have a tendency to shower or bathe in the evening, before I go to bed, because I have a vast aversion to going to bed […]

I went out to practice picking stuff up off the ground while riding my bike once again today. I heeded Ryan’s advice and practiced with a can for the time being. I had an old plastic coffee can on the back porch, left over from christmas goodies.   I try to amass a number of these […]

I’ve taken up with the hobby of Friz as of yesterday. I gotta tell ya, that shit’s addictive. As improbable as the feat of a bunch of bike-riders pitching around a frizbee while on the wheel sounds, it’s mad fun. I can’t pick the frisbee up from the ground just yet, but I’m practising. I […]

I went riding on this organized around-town tour todaywith a couple of friends. Instead of tediously HTML-ing all of the pictures over here to LJ, I’m just going to point you to the photo gallery I created for this occasion. The photos are all pretty well narrarated, and anyone can leave comments either there or […]
