Here is a little piece of what its all about…….
Cycling is explodingin a good way. Urbanites everywhere, from ironic hipsters to earth-conscious commuters, are taking to the bike like aquatic mammals to water. Cycling's most prolific, well-known, hilarious, and anonymous blogger brings a fresh and humorous perspective to the most important vehicle to hit personal transportation since the horse. Bike Snob treats readers to a laugh-out-loud rant and rave about the world of bikes and their riders, and offers a unique look at the ins and outs of cycling, from its history and hallmarks to its wide range of bizarre practitioners. Throughout, the author lampoons the missteps, pretensions, and absurdities of bike culture while maintaining a contagious enthusiasm for cycling itself. Bike Snob is an essential volume for anyone who knows, is, or wants to become a cyclist.
What else… well… I learned how to play cricket…no.. I did not show up to play cricket in my bike gear… although it might displace the typical cricket wear more interesting…. I met up with the group after a ride… and might add scored two sixers to win the match !
I have been doing some riding… a bicycle that is…really enjoying being back on my bike…..and with views like this.. how can you not enjoy being outside on a bike!
I have had a birthday.. and must admit our new tradition of opening a bottle of vintage champagne is rather great! Here is the one we had….. absolutely delicious!! And we had it it beautiful Whistler…
And even did some "cruiser " riding while we were up there…….
But I must say that the most exciting thing that I have been doing is watching the Giro d'italia and Ryder win this iconic race…! How awesome is that!!!
Ryder wins! Hesjedal takes the Giro d'Italia
