My First Time…Trial As you can see from the results, I did not cover myself in glory in my first TT. It was a short hillclimb TT up Gaglardi way, the main road leading to Simon Fraser University. 3.6 km, and it was the hardest 12 minutes of riding I have ever done. No joke, […]

I wish I had had a camera Inexplicably, I failed to mention it, but I’ve been having problems with the satellite dish reception all week. They have a menu in the reciever that you can access to see signal strength on an unspecified scale. 70-80 is a good clear-skies number; you can get reception with […]

Behold the BMX LX, an experimental project which was sorta-completed at today’s bike party. Warning: bigger version is quite big, allowing you to see several amusing details: 7-speed Deore LX rear gears mated to a late-80s Factory Kuwahara frame.

Warning, Boring Ride Report Ahead No, not really. In fact, this is a fascinating, EPIC ride report! Monday night, after amusingly destroying Proximate Drea’s tire while demonstrating the operation of a Presta valve, I made the plans for the perfect ride.

Too much lamb. Some fun pictures of the weekend’s bacchanal at the in-laws. A quick captioning of the photos in the link: lamb, kokouretsi and Tony, lamb; lamb, The Lovely One, Teo’s daughter and Mike. I feel pretty good considering how much food I ate.
