ArtCrank 09



http://www.artcrankpostershow.com/

Check it out! Coldsprints, cup cake eating contest, djs, etc. going down in Denver Apr 11th. Super cool poster show with affordable sweet bike-related/inspired pieces by tons of local artistes. If there was any way I could be there I would but we'll be racing in Rabbit Valley that weekend... Someone needs to go and represent for bIKE cLUB, maybe someone with taste (sorry Sean) though there is a cupcake eating contest...Sean you're back in!

Rare Buikema Sighting



Bryan made it out to Devil's Backbone last weekend...Just in time for Dash's early release for good behavior. Witness Brown Carhart T, coupled with new helmet, dog ate the other one...

Disc Brakes suck!



It's a common saying from this man, get used to it...

Spring has sprung b*tches!



And so too have the days of our lives... Chainsaw got in a training ride, Highroller got in TWO rides AND has a very faint jersey tan line to prove it! El Camarone got towed all over town in his Chariot, to breakfast, to the park, downtown and worked his abs on the slides and the swingset. In a word we're getting it on! On, like Donkey Kong!
Of course with Spring sprunging and whatnot, a snowstorm has descended on Steamboat and Highroller now departs for Beantown to lose any gained fitness by sitting in airplanes, rental cars and hotel rooms for the next week...sweet! What's in your wallet?

Vernal, UT Apr 3-4-5


Highroller and the Albino Sasquatch are signed up, which may be more than enough reason for no one else to want to come, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Explore-O riding in Fruita-esque environs is all I can promise, though beer in cans, donuts, wet socks, shit-eating grins, and lonesome trails are highly likely!
Just consider that without more riding companions the blog could be heavily dominated by photos of Sean riding/farting/drinking for several weeks after the trip...

"Spring" ride in Steamboat


Must!

Train.

for Flanders!


Is there a rolling crap-heap anywhere as decrepit at 'The Bus' that gets more miles put on it...I don't think so (possible kinship exemption for the automotive version better known as 'The Deuce'). All the parts that have fallen off this bicycle are quality Japanese manufacture.

Well that road's out though tempting in the Ride Which Must Not Be Named sense...

Happy Birthday Matty A!

Hark brethren! The Sasquatch stirs, spring is coming!



Sometimes things just go too far, like the guy over at the next urinal with his pants around his ankles, and the forces of maturity, grey hairs, offspring (pending or present), responsibility, debt, decrepitude, impending nuptuals, broke-itude and chiggers combine to force you into some sort of rational, cost-effective decision-making process. Now is not that time! Instead roll off your loved one, toss out the mucus-plug that's been jammed up your butt all winter and prepare to break hibernation with a migration to (hopefully) warmer climes, laden with berry-bushes, weakened and possible lame antelope to snack upon, and new watering holes filled to the brim with only the finest 3.2 beer the Mormon Nation can produce. Vernal, UT here we come! Do not hesitate, do not run the numbers, definitely do not open your 401k statement! Just plan on being there, de-cobwebbed bicycle apparatus and fully cleansed liver in hand(s)this April 3,4,5. Will there be sweet sweet trails or boggy cow pattie-laden gutters? Will sunshine flow like beer and beer flow also like beer? Will we find tasty Mexican Mormons preparing hand-rolled tortillas for our consumptive pleasure or crusty old multiple wives and unleavened bread? No one knows, or at least no one is telling, so you'll just have to be there to find out!
RSVP with Gold Squadron Leader for all the little details...again, if you're new here THESE are the details but still an RSVP would be nice. Kisses, Highroller

Dash and Bardo go to Aspen


My little cousin Bardo came to visit a couple of weekends ago. We hit Snowmass on Saturday, Highlands on Sunday, and Vail on Monday.


Bardo did great hiking up the bowl. He was bitching less than Pete did. (Sorry Pete.)



The two (2) Jersey Boyz at the top of the Highlands Bowl.



I had to pay for a full day at Vail, which at $97/day really blows. Check out Vail's new tag line. The Marketing guys finally got that right!

Best DUI Ever!

How about some sleet to the face!

Steamboat Pentathalon in the books







Go! bIKE cLUB's very own Chainsaw grits it out to the finish line in alternating frosty sleet and snow conditions on the River Road course. She did great for her 1st race back, in training she pulled 47min test runs on the course on dry and warm days. In the wind and rain/sleet/snow she dug deep and maintained that time for her leg of the race...nice work! Only took like 4 hours afterwards for her to get fully warmed back up too!
Also last night Das Alfords got out to see "Watchmen" with the traditional burrito smuggled in down the pants for tasty vittles. Movie was awesome, especially if you dig radioactive blue swinging dicks, and who doesn't? Over.

Chainsaw toes the starting line!



Send good juju westward tomorrow Troopers as bIKE cLUB's own Chainsaw enters her first race in, oh, a lifetime (literally)or at least 2.5 years!

Meet Pete!



Snap from the very first time Uno deigned to dip his toe in the cold, cold waters that were/are a bIKE cLUB Night Rides. Pete 1, bleeding and soon to self-relegate himself to the dustbin of history by vacating the Hacienda applies the official handshake/seal-of-approval. Note to aspiring bIKE cLUBers, the welcome and official entry into these hallowed halls only comes AFTER you survive the ride, which is why no one has ever heard of Jerry McGee (abandoned, bleeding by the side of Sunshine Canyon), big Hank Paul (nervous breakdown en route to Tickler 1 scouting ride) or poor Trish Daniels (eaten by bears near Fruita).
