On the way up Lookout Mountain in Golden, CO with Casey Dugan and Ty Kiser... this was February '06, maybe? 
So, I’m off to Africa to misinform the youth of Rwanda. Countdown is days now (three days!), no longer weeks! I have to say feelings of excitement, anticipation, etc… in the last few days have turned more towards anger, but now back to excitement.
This picture is very possibly the ONLY picture of Alex Bischoff bike racing! I think this is at the Doe Run MO State Mtb Championships, about 100 years ago. Check out the Johnny Tomac Raleigh special he's on! Alex says I took this picture, but' [...] 
Ron "Hot Rod" Clipp getting revved up for Match #1 of "No Touch". I can't really explain the rules, as I do not know them, but it's something along the lines of smashing your bike into the guy next to you without taking your hands or [...] 
Meet Saxton's French Bulldog. (Note: Not a Boston Terrier.) 
...where our Redbull Soapbox Race went; San Francisco stole it! I don't know why they discontinued it? I thought the one in Forest Park was dope! (cell-phone-cam bad quality)
Was the war in Georgia just an agreement between Putin and Bush? One Latvian NGO put this poster all over Riga as part of their project. 
Labor Day weekend in St. Louis means Gateway Cup! The Tour of the Hill neighborhood, or "Giro della Montagna" is always good times. 
Have you been bitten by the international spirit of the Summer Olympics, but don't have the scratch to fly to Beijing? Well, if you're free the weekend of Aug. 23-24, and in the St. Louis area, be sure to check out the Festival of Nations in [...] 
Right around 7 this morning I walked out to get the newspaper, and on the front walk next to the paper was this bird. At the time it's wings were not out like in the picture. It wasn't moving so I thought it was dead; especially [...] 
This is what the FBC needs on its Full Moon Fiasco rides if they are to take it to the next level - A DJ Rickshaw! This is in Austin, TX which makes sense, I suppose.
This looks like a good way to injure yourself... and your friend.
You gotta love those DMV workers, boy... So, I get home from renewing my plates this afternoon and I see this: Evidently, I now live in "Saint Louis, Alaska"!! Sweeeeeet.
This blog sucks, and is dying a slow death. My apologies to those that actually click back here from time to time to see if I've posted anything new.
The Tour of Missouri is back! Flood walls be damned!
Puzzle of the Platypus solved at last
The unique creature shares 82 percent of its genes with other genetically mapped mammals.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
Is it a bird? A mammal? Reptile?
An international team of scientists led by the Washington [...]
These bicycle railroad track crossing caution signs sure are getting more and more detailed.
Doh!
Watch out for the Right Hook!
It should be interesting to see how a bicycle sharing program will work out here in the US.
After attending the SRAM kool-aid camp in Colorado Springs, Cozad, the Hub chief wrench has declared his love for all things SRAM. 
Is Katie Couric leaving CBS? An interesting story over on FOX Business:
Every morning, over the last few days and weeks, a pair of mourning doves (sometimes just one), have been my alarm clock. They sit on my window sill, which is pretty much directly above my bed, and they make their patented woo-oo-oo-oo call. Some people [...] 
I was recently asked to, "update your damn blog!"
Hello, Happy Easter Sunday, everyone. I guess? If that's your thing...
This is hot too! Get your Schwinn Airdyne on! You know you want one. YOU KNOW IT!!!
Watch what you eat! Great weather this weekend... hope everybody got out. I rode both Saturday and Sunday. But my Sunday ride was wrecked by something I ate Sat. night. Or at least that's what I'm guessing? I felt horrible the whole ride... bad headache, no [...] 
This picture cracks me up. Flee from the mean people. Happy Leap Day, everyone!
Do you remember Sampson bicycle components? Way back in the day, I had some of those absolutely HORRIBLE clipless Sampson road pedals.
In World War II, only 15-20 percent of combat infantry were willing to fire their rifles. In Korea, about 50 percent. In Vietnam, the figure rose to over 90 percent.
Yes, the Grand Canyon is amazing and majestic and blah, blah, blah... But my motivation behind this post is a bit more on the morbid [...] 
Yesterday morning I strolled out to the mailbox in my bathrobe and slippers... you know, because I live on a country lane. And what do I find? The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for two wheeled gadgetry! The adult film industry has the AVN Awards. The [...] 
If you haven't yet experienced Giro's warranty program; it's great! Some years ago (2003 maybe?), I broke two (2) Pneumos and Giro replaced them immediately, no questions asked! They didn't even request we ship the broken helmets to them. Well oiled machine, they [...] 
I hope everyone got to step outside last night to see the total lunar eclipse. Last visible from North America until December 2010.
From Wildlife Conservation magazine:
Be wary if you ever go visit Tosh; for this is how he greets you at the front door! Then again, he probably saw me [...] 
Dang! That's one intense looking bicycle treadmill contraption. The rider has to be tethered!
So what's up?
Saturday was cloudy and warm. Sunday was sunny and cold. I got outside for road rides both days, but neither really amounted to much more than pedaling around slow and looking at the scenery that is Saint Louis. Saturday I did the tour of U. City. Or [...] 
Time for a little mind-projector... What's bouncing around my feeble mind this morning? Nothing much, really.
Sunrise over Indy. On Friday I had to drive to Indianapolis to pick up some bikes from Bike Garage Indy. I left STL at 3 AM to be back in STL around lunch time... I was back at The Hub right at 12:45 PM.
...get a t-shirt. Cool long sleeve Tee though. So, head on over and get yourself a t-shirt: American Red Cross StL.
That is so cool! Sadly, coffee baristas don't do that here in St. Louis. Or at least not that I have stumbled across.
I managed to sneak outside this afternoon. Glad I'm not going westbound on Hwy 40 in a car. Looking down from Tamm Ave. bridge; traffic was creeping! And it was around 1:00 pm maybe? Oh, it is going to get worse around here... much, much [...] 
One of my favorite novels, "Blood Meridian Or the Evening Redness in the West," by Cormac McCarthy, is slated to be a movie in 2009 with Ridley Scott as Director. Wow, I can't think of a better director for the project, except maybe Terrence Malick.
The other day I got an email from Chris Miller, Hub Racing Team member, and Boeing employee. He is out in California this winter working on some heinous (shockingly evil...haha), electronic warfare equipment.
Well, it looks like St. Louis might get a white Christmas after all. That, or this snow will all melt and Christmas day will be sunny and 63? 
"...just a completely ferocious animal"
Nothing like New Old Stock to brighten up your week. A 2006 model year, brushed aluminum 58cm Cannondale CAAD8 (Note the 'Williams Metal Works', work stand... word up!)
For it is not a fun experience. This morning, in all my infinite wisdom, without even looking at it first I grabbed a cup out of the kitchen sink... took a drink... and gagged! If somebody had been watching they would've been treated to high entertainment.
I had the gmail window open, and the sidebar Google search thingy was going strong and through it's demented widget suggested I go to "more about ninjas"... cracked me up.
Wow, this had to be one pissed off cyclist!
Have a few switchbacks! Stumbled across this photo on flickr. 
Quite a shame that King Furby is too busy taking it to the next level to give us new words to add to our limited vocabularies. Fine then, I'll take the responsibility to enlighten our readers (all four of you), with some choice words every [...] 
Maybe Romulus and Remus had it right. But how could they be wrong fathered by the God of War and all that. Not too shabby for feral children.
Among the many things I neglect and fail to do is buy new clothes.
Yet another gem from Craigslist:
