Spring Classics

It's time for the spring classics. Long rides, 300 km, possible weather, rough roads, short steep climbs, and hoards of cycling fans lining the roads. I would love to watch the peleton roll by.

fields of Flanders

Can this be a romantic relationship? Desire? To be in the shoes of this man mucking through the black thick mud, driving my legs, and feeling my lungs burn. And all this for a pat on the back and a nod of appreciation.

I'm a bike fiend. But this is so cool. I've been eyeing the Calfee bamboo bike for years. Elegant, functional, organic. And he's got a great project going on in Ghana to make bike production, hemp and bamboo, into a cottage industry. Talk about using local resources. Eat local, build local. Hmmm, so what would be build a bike out of in Arizona.
