The time of year comes again when food springs forth, and there is a’plenty… Greens anyone? My partner gave this garden life, she really deserves thanks in this. Thanks Sweetie! You’ve certainly earned a meal prepared from the bounty!

And now for the 2009 Friends of Tamarancho Invitational race report: I won [...]
An amazing winter ride from the top of Mt. Tam to Muir Beach. Coastal View trail was in fine form that day! This is one of my favorite legal Marin singletrack rides; a couple thousand feet of descending on some swoopy, fast lines heading down to the ocean. Fantastic views of, well, [...]
Do you see it? All around us, from the largest of our institutions on the world stage, to the very fabric of our national being; the structures we know are fraying from the inside-out. This is a time of realigning and rebalancing, and to see this process in play allows us insight [...]
In keeping with my re-focused attention toward bikes and bike info, I will finally post this long-awaited review of my sweet new daily rider, the Breezer Finesse. It has been a real treat to ride such a machine, in fact, I haven’t enjoyed being on the road nearly as much as I do now. [...]

I am constantly amazed by how wonderful life can be. What could be better than having plenty of food, a beautiful home, someone to share with as only lovers can, good friends, and fantastic bicycles to romp with? Not much. I just have to smile and give thanks, enjoy these [...]
Very exciting! I finished building it two days ago, and only yesterday morning rode its maiden romp through Camp Tamarancho. It’s as wonderfully fun as I knew it would be! There is something very satisfying riding a bike crafted with careful attention from start to finish; it just feels better than right. [...]
A small, simple beginning, something beyond mere thought, moving into the realm of action. The time for excuses and meaningless talk is past, we are now spinning down a dark and unknown road. The bicycle will carry us into an uncertain future, a future clouded by false security and insane patterns. Perhaps [...]
