So this year, decided that Meghan and I would get out there and have some fun. No real goals.

Turns out, we kicked some ass!

Team that beat us was on a tandem.... shaddy if you ask me.

Schuyler and I saw jesus in a totally random ranch spill at Road34. Its gonna be a good year.

new years eve highjinx (see what i did there)

2010-01-07T15:24:00.000-08:00

New years eve was a full moon so what did we do?

We met up and got drunk biking around fort Collins of course.

This one was a little colder and snowier than most so bundles of wood were so very necessary.

We rode/hiked out to a secret fort up north of town. (future dead deer gang hide out? ...Maybe)

And just our luck there was a keg just begging to be slammed!
Beers were consumed, Rubik's cubes discussed... and beat.

after a few hours it became apparent that that:

A. we weren't drinking the keg quick enough
B. we definitely weren't drunk enough

so a few keg stands were in order

some were messier than others

Then i realised my new years resolution would be to drink whiskey and shoot fireworks every night so we got started right away.

Happy 2010!

For those who know.

Meghan Out for her first ride on her Christmas present. We did a solid 40 miles. She killed it.

Well here in Fort Collins, mountain bike season has left us. So here are some random shots ive taken on recent rides, on the road.

I actually got nice and lost riding in Parker, CO today, but forgot the camera. Im fairly sure i ended up in Kansas or something.

Hello digital world!

Anti-Bicycle legislation.

2009-11-20T19:25:00.000-08:00

This is some disturbing info comming out of philly.

Any and all action by our gang of misfits is welcome and encouraged.

Im all for abiding by the laws of the road but this is some bullshit. This was taken from prolly's blog. Prollyisnotprobobaly.com

I'm a follower of your blog and have seen that you've ridden in Philly before and just wanted to inform you of two bills that have just been proposed by the Philadelphia City Council. The first will increase fines drastically for such things as riding on the sidewalk and riding with headphones. This bill will also impose a $1000 fine and the possible confiscation of the bicycle if riding "brakeless", the council member specifically mentions fixed gear bicycles in the interviews he has done regarding the bill. While I am all for safe and smart cycling laws, under this bill the fine for riding with headphones would be three times the amount of the fine for running a stop light with an automobile, which one seems more dangerous?

The second bill (and scariest to me) is one that would require bicycles in Philadelphia to be registered at a cost of $20.00 and have plates displayed in an easy to view place; the fine for riding an unregistered bike would be $100. The council member who proposed this bill stated the plates would be a way to identify unruly cyclist, but where does it end, do we start displaying plates while we walk so laws regarding pedestrians can be enforced? Also in his proposal he mentions nothing about the proceeds of registering going to help enhance the bicycle infrastructure or the cycling community in anyway.

Again I am not against following the rules of the road but these bills will only hinder the growth of the cycling community in Philadelphia.

Here are the links to the bills and the names of the council members who introduced these bills today, if any of you ride bikes in Philly (or have ridden) I urge you to call or email and voice your opposition to these proposed bills before they become laws.

Andy Goldsworthy. A natural artist, with some amazing installations and photo work of his temporary pieces.

No concrete here just technique and weight holding these stone structures up.

The leaves are a signature piece. found on site constructed around a hole and left to the elements.

Simply beautiful in ever aspect.
