When it comes to my rides Monkey Wrench Cycles is the only way to go.

Congrats on your success, although it is no surprise that you guys are doing well.

That is Custeau’s sweet new Hunter above.

Wish Lincoln would get on this bandwagon.

“It’s a whole new program,” Simon said of the racks. “With what’s going on with gas (prices), this could be something that people really take advantage of.”

Over the next month or so, MAT will test two kinds of racks and decide which type to buy. The goal is to have all of the racks purchased and installed so that people can use them this summer and fall.

Simon said the bike racks will let people visit different trails without having to put racks on their cars.

“You could ride the bus to the Keystone Trail and then take the bus back home,” he said.

They also made a new bike map for Omaha

That is one wore out puppy there. Jon T said the park was rideable so the Monkey crew headed out there for the tues ride. I showed up early and ran through a few miles with her. She was lucky enough to get to chase 4 deer two times. She took off out of my site and when she came back she was drooling like a garden hose. Not sure if she got a taste, but she apparently likes venison.

The park is about 90% there. No standing water, but some soft areas where you have to ride on the grass off the trail. Still it was good to see the guys again.

That would be the bar at the resort he is working at. From his personal blog:

I’m purdy sure I got the job.

next week, i’m the activites director and guide.
tuesday I bartend, wed, thur, fri, I take people on trips.

sunday i head home to pv, monday day off, ( might even get on my bike, )
tuesday I catch the boat for another week in Yelapa

Looks like a nice resort to work at.

They give him a room there during his work week. Way to go CVO

previous post about his adventure

I am hoping to make it out tonight on the first one. Gotta drop Theresa off at the dentist and well I am so out of shape. Gonna ride back from dropping her off and see how I feel. Meet at the MWC around 6:15 Remember to not show up early and bug the boys while they are trying to close up shop.

This time I was not the 5th wheel. Another friend Joined us as well as another couple making a crew of 8. We took off at the unholy hour of 9:30 AM and hit pioneers park. I still hat the skinny tires on the moots and the others had their beefy tires on. I am not sure if it was the skinny tires or the fact that I commute to work by bike year round, but I was comfortable at the head of the pack.

Can we start at noon next Sunday?

CVO of Folks from Lincoln is on an adventure. A couple things happened lately for him that allowed him to free himself. He saved some money, sold his car, left his jobs, packed his bags and grabbed his bike. Spent some time in CO on the slopes and now is in Puerto Vallarta living the life. Seems he got a job putting gravel on a roof and guiding tourists. You can follow along on his site and I like seeing the flickr pics show up daily.

I love my wife and life, but it would be pretty awesome to just go on an adventure and live it ya know.

From the forums is a different take on this area of town the paper calls “the core“. The bike crew is familiar with the area since many of the folks from Lincoln live next to the apt complex in the articles.

A morning dusting of snow did not keep the folks away. Hot chocolate, coffee, tools, and bundled up folks started loading my truck full of ballast and I backed down off the trail and dumped it under the Old Cheney bridge. Erosion had really messed the underpass up. Some folks dug new drainage while the others packed down the ballast. Took 4-5 truck loads to fill in the damage.

A bit of wilderness trail repair is gonna be going on this weekend. Sure you could go to the star city parade, or play in the dirt. My truck is gonna be the work horse this time.

Here is the last round of trail work

and info on the one this weekend.

Jake has some space on his next year triathlon jersey.

The work thing ruled, still buzzing off that. Got out into my church, wilderness park with my bud Kit. I had not been out in the park since mid August. We took it nice and easy since we both are a bit off our game. Was beautiful out there. All the leaves are down and the trail was packed. Defiantly gonna be getting out there a lot more often now.

Got the message board transfered over. Link on the right.

Theresa took a huge step and let me make her an oriental meal. I figured go easy and do a sesame chicken for her first try. Used this recipe and it was so so. I halved the vinegar, but it was still vinegar you smelled and tasted. She put a little bit of the sauce on her rice and made it through it. I enjoyed it, but it might be a while till I can get it into something she would like.

He got to keep it. More info Gotta check what he wrote on his leg.

EDIT: it has been found

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Info here

Yep, some piece of shit rolled up on a Roadmaster and “traded” his bike for DK’s Moots YBB. The bike was stolen around 7:50 pm on Monday. DK was inside while it occurred.

The bike has full M952 XTR with a black Manitou Skerab, custom Moots saddle, riser bar, Mavic wheels.

If you see this bike, call the police. Follow the person (from a distance) on the bike and give DK a call.

The bike is most likely in the near South neighborhood.

More info and the orig pic on his site.

It is his birfday.
