hipsters and mormons

some hipster girls were walking their bikes on the corner. one said 'anyone want to buy a bike for $5?'

you usually don't see more than two, but tonight there must have been some special gathering.

rain

riding home in the wet. good thing i wore the wool jersey tonight.

tnmwr

it was another gorgeous evening to spend on the bike

we caught up with everyone at the hut.

i was running late for the tnmwr but got word that they were heading out on the mopac to eagle. i ran into jp just as i was leaving town at 84th street and we time trialed it to catch up with the group.

the kid

the kid did alright tonight.

road closed?

we were cruising through the roca rollers and we passed through some 'road closed' barricades. sometimes that means it's closed just to cars so we kept going. a mile later we had to do a little cyclocross action across the bridge.

the ladies

jen and janna set the pace as we climb out of bennet.

dialed in

my position on the new frame is dialed in pretty close to where i want it. i put it in the big ring and time trialed the last 12 miles back to town and was in the drops the whole time. nothing went numb, props to the fizik arione saddle.

grey skies

i wanted to get some miles in before dark, and it started to rain as i headed out of town.

seven samurai

i went up to omaha for the grand opening of the new cinema. i finally got to see seven samurai on the big screen. it was well over 3 hours long, but what a classic.

future sprinter

jen is working on using those powerful pistons of her´s.

monday night roadie ride

we had a decent group of peeps out on the ride tonight. even little burke showed up. the kid is only 11. with his dad showing him the ropes he has a fast future.

campus kitties

campus can be a dangerous place at night... wild creatures lurk around every bush.

bikin' across america

i headed south to meet up with janna and two of her old college friends, jean and rob, who are riding cross-country for the 'wish ride across america.' janna had ridden out to meet them in fairbury on saturday (and this was after her winning ride in the state games time trial earlier that morning) and rode with them into lincoln today. damn, janna sure knows how to put in those miles.

white carbon

i'm still getting used to my new carbon frame. the sexy iridescent paint mesmerizes the rider into thinking he is fast. it's very deceptive.

oh them rollergirls...

it was a nice friday evening, and i cruised downtown for a bite with my friend taura (aka skelataura). we ended up at ali babas for some chicken kebab. i dig taura's old school b-stone bike with a sweet set of velocity deep V track wheels. no doubt the years living in san fran and having bike messengers as roomies had an influence on her choice of parts. (and yeah, i finally got a new camera phone)

bicycle chic

i haven't been posting lately because i need to get a new camera/phone. so in the meantime... let's see what happens when ultra chic meets bike messenger culture.

riding in the rain

couple of chicks

i ran into katie and janna out at pioneer's tonight. we then louped out to denton before sundown.

the usual tuesday night thing

heading out for some fun in the woods.

N. 27th

i had to run up to menard's on n.27th. even though the sprall along there might not provide the greatest scenery, when you're on a bike you can still appreciate how nice of an evening it was.

maiden voyage

the new steed got to hangout with all the other bikes at platte today. i had just finished wrapping the bars @ 530am and headed out to catch up with showen and the boys. i would not recommend doing 70+ miles of gravel and b-roads for a maiden voyage but that's what i did. i lucked out though, as the bike rode extremely well. nothing rattled loose, the lockring stayed put, and my position was dialed in pretty close from the get-go.

the bacon was good

showen was pretty slow so we made a rest stop at one of the bridges.

chillin' after breakfast with some omaha peeps before heading back.

bacon ride

the hike and bike section

b-level roads can mean lots of mud.

cruising out of elmwood.

i got 3 hours sleep last night, if that, but said f*ck it and went on the bacon ride anyways. i was damn tired and the ride wasn't easy, but i still had a good time.

they use us for the hilly races

the secret MWC pro road team getting in some training miles.

heading home

man down!

we're cruising fast through the park, i'm behind big dave in the lead group, and then BANG!... and the bead on big dave's rear tire was no more. johnny T also had rear tire isues at the first bridge.

tnmwr

lots of peeps showed up for the tuesday night mw ride... 18 atleast.

horchata

i did about 45 miles on the gios earlier, and after a shower and a nap... i went for some mexican food. i finished it off with some nice cold horchata.

jamaica

it was a nice evening but i wasn't in the mood for a road ride. so i dusted off the BUSS and rode out on the jamaica trail to check out the old railroad bridge.

guapísima

stephanie picked up her new mariachi... ay cha cha cha!

old school

cruising through the denton alps... old school style as always.

the fob

i headed up north to branched oak on sunday. i should have got my ass up earlier instead of waiting until the afternoon when the wind picked up, because the headwind was killer. but fortunately i ran into jim (aka the fob) just north of malcom, so we traded off pulls around the lake.

i'm not a morning person but...

last night wasn't too exciting which meant i was able to get up early enough to join some peeps on the wilderness perk ride this morning.
