Zach Thomas, who provided much needed support during the Rouge Roubaix with his SWAG Wagon, was also able to find the time to snap some pretty amazing shots of the Semi-Tough crew, the field and the brutal conditions. The grain of these black and white images perfectly exemplifies what it was like to roll over…
Dispatch from the Orient
Jeff sent me some pics he snapped the other day while he was out John Watson and the Mission Workshop crew. That bamboo forest looks like a really sweet spot to ride. Jeff isn’t the only solid photographer on the tour. Check out Prolly is Not Probably and the Mission Workshop blog, and search #mwpinpasia…
Back in the Saddle Part 2: The Road to Recovery is Paved With Cobblestones
The worst part of being injured isn’t the pain. There are pills that fix that well. It isn’t the boredom, either. The same pills fix that, too. By far, the most miserable aspect of a major injury is the riding withdrawals. There are no pills for that. There are no pills that keep you in…
West to East: PiNP+MW+F5 Tour
I’ve been closely following John Watson (Prolly is Not Probably) and the Mission Workshop crew as they make their way through China with the help of Factory 5. Check out the PiNP site plus @johnprolly and @missionworkshop on Instagram, with the hashtag #mwpinpasia. They are shooting some fantastic video and stills. I really love this…
Red Hook Criterium
The Red Hook Crit is tomorrow and I wish I was going to be there just to spectate (No way could Yeah You Ride even hang with those folks!) What started as a small event between a handful of friends to celebrate race director David Trimble’s birthday, has become the premier fixed gear criterium in the world….
Strava Graffiti
Last week during my post-ride Strava data check, I happened to see this on my feed: I was a bit perplexed by this odd looking ride (and more perplexed by it’s name) done by fellow NOLA cyclist Matt Erchull. After cocking my head, I realized it read, “WeMoRi”, standing for “Wednesday Morning Ride”. I’ve never been on this…
Get Out of My Lane
L.A.’s new campaign publicizes cyclist right to entire lane! Read! YES! I like to see it when transit authorities get it. Education must accompany legislation to affect any real change. Many motorists are rude just because they are clueless of the law. It’s likely that drivers in New Orleans find sharrows as cryptic as crop…
Back in the Saddle Part 1: Aluminum and Steel, Titanium and Bone.
You could say life is short in the fast lane. You could say if you blink you’ll miss it. And if you were saying those things to me, you’d be right. Especially if instead of “blink” you said “turn around to chat,” and instead of “miss it,” you said “T-bone a truck at 20 plus.”…
St. Joseph’s Day
Is one of my favorite holidays in New Orleans, with St. Joseph’s alters overflowing with food and lamb cakes and the search for Mardi Gras Indians that night . So how about two bicycle rides to sweeten the pot? Plan B is hosting a ride to go find those elusive yet pretty Mardi Gras Indians. Meet up at Plan B (1024 Elysian Fields New Orleans,…
Safari Drops
The Loose Nuts fixed gear freestyle video Southern Safari just dropped on Vimeo. Their tour across 5 states stopped to shred in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Probably worth $8 just to see Nola spots. Peep the trailer and check out the Woldenberg/Moonwalk Hobo Hop at :50. From Loose Nuts Cycles: “Southern Safari is the latest Loose…
