Holiday Look-alike?

Well, my friendly (I think) coworkers have spoken up and sent me my Holiday Look-alike.  For those familiar with the older animated Christmas TV specials… you should recognize the father from the show ”Twas The Night Before Christmas”.  Well, at least I have comfy pajamas and a night cap. 
So… what do you think?    


Is The Euro Mullet Still In Style?

Not to pick on my cycling pal but I have to ask this question. 
Is the Euro Mullet still in style?  
And if so… is there any difference between the Euro Mullet and the good old American Mullet?  I know a couple of years back Tom Boonen was sporting the special style.  He may still have a similar cut… [...]


Egg-topia…

In my last post, you saw my first attempt at the:
“Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge.” 
I look at it as an unsuccesful attempt rather than a failed attempt because the eggs I was supposed to pick up and get home uncracked were sold out.  As you may remember, Tom, my challenger and cycling friend in [...]


Shell Shocked!

A few posts back, I mentioned “Fresh Organic Eggs” being sold on one of the routes I ride often.  Well, I had mentioned it would be a good challenge for me to sometime try to make it home with a dozen… UNCRACKED!
It just so happens that a new cycling blogger buddy in England, “Easy Tom” rides past a farm that offers up eggs [...]


Whew… What A Climb!

I thought The Cycling Challenge would get a chuckle from this. Let’s call it…  Col de Bonsal: 
For a little history from my part of the world… the RR tracks you see are part of the old New Hope Valley Railway. 

  P.S. — The update on the “Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge” will come [...]


Preparing for the “Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge”

                
You may have read my posts at the beginning of the week about the “Fresh Organic Eggs” Stand I pass on one of my routes.  Well, I had mentioned it would be a good challenge for me to sometime try to make it home with a dozen… UNCRACKED!

ENTER: The worldwide web, another cycling enthusiast and the fact that there are [...]


Another View From My Egg-cellent Ride…

In my last post, I showed you a sign I pass on one of my routes.  It reads… ‘Fresh Organic Eggs.’  A friend was asking me where were the eggs?  What do you mean in a house/hut?  Well, I realized you can see it (the little house) in this other picture I took. 
It’s the county line… I’m standing [...]


An Egg-cellent Ride…

I know… with all that cheese… I should make an omelette.  I just couldn’t resist.  It was a beautiful weekend here in Central North Carolina.  I got out for rides on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.  Both days were sunny and the temp in the 60’s.  I pedal past this sign frequently on one of my favorite routes.  [...]


What’s In Your Cycling DVD Library?

                 
As cyclists, we’ve seen a lot of them but how many do we own?  I’m talking about cycling movies.  In my last post, I was talking about ‘Breaking Away’ and its great soundtrack.  Most of you have seen it but a couple have not.  A few months back, I watched ’The Flying Scotsman’ with some cycling buddies… it was [...]


Breaking Away In Detail…

I’m sure most of you have seen the great cycling movie “Breaking Away” …  Here’s the trailer:

So, a couple of days ago, I was searching for the soundtrack and after clicking a couple of links on Google… I found an 8 year old blog post that detailed all things “Breaking Away.”  I not only found some of the music I [...]
