bring it on

it's almost halloween, and beechum looks ready to pounce on any trick-o-treaters.

sir will you fix my flat?

a catholic school girl stopped by my place to have her flat fixed. nice costume janna.

el viaje

this afternoon i stopped by campus to see the sheldon's exhibit of graciela inturbide photographs. they are fascinating to say the least. this photograph, entitled 'el viaje', was one of my favorites.

nite ride

super hoss called it, friday nite ride. man, it was primo. a great time, especially the part coming back with no lights, just by the mooonlight.

trick o' treat

can anyone guess which one i did? i had a fun time last night carving pumpkins with some fellow lincoln-roadies. thanks to kim c for the great food and hospitality.

harvest time

got a flat in princeton. in the short time it took to fix it several big trucks rolled by. looks like those guys are busy non-stop.

sanfran weather

taura says this weather reminds her of sf.

tnmwr

frustrated

when i got home last night from a ride... there was beechum, and he wasn't looking too happy. he's been fending off the advances of this grey femme kitty that has been lurking around the house lately. she must be in heat and beechum, being that he's fixed, can't help her out. sorry little buddy... i feel for ya.

royale rides

i was hanging out with royale this afternoon, and my good buddy smoothie showed up to say hi. he's a cool cat, but like i've said many times.. royale spoils him. it's nice to know that some local celebs do like to ride their bikes. royale showed off her urban riding skills as we headed downtown for some coffee.

goddess

went to b&n to see mandy in the latest of Bicycling. she is such a goddess.

nice horsies

coming back into town on s.40th just before sunset.

almost ran her over

i was heading up north on the trail that goes up to superior st, and as i'm about to pass under cornhusker hwy something caught my eye. i turned around to have a closer look and found a good sized momma wolf spider with all her babies on board. i snapped a few before she scurried off into the grass.

craving crepes

i called up my good friend taura for breakfast... she wanted crepes so we headed to village inn (yeah we know that vi isn't the best place for crepes, but it's close by and it was damn windy out and we didn't want to ride far). i've been wanting to swap her drop bars for something more comfy, so after stuffing ourselves we went to over to my bikeshop (aka kitchen) to do some maintenance. she now has nitto moustache bars on her baby and she likes them a lot. oh... and she loves her brown suede boots a lot too.

IDEAL grocery

picking up a few essentials.

che guapo!

my friend kate was in town briefly before she heads back to paraguay (she's doing the peace corps thing). kate is the only woman i know who can ride my 61cm bianchi SL track bike with no problem, it fits her perfectly actually. she is a fellow bianchi aficiondo and was so happy to ride her beloved marcelo again, even if it was only for a day.

almost harvest time

i went up to do the taco ride on the the wabash trace trail with some friends. fall is the best time to go, as the views of fields at this time of year are quite picturesque.

iowa

kim's shot of me at the same spot on last year's ride.

full load

this dude had his hands full.

it's gonna rain tonight
