Jason M. Doug atop Mt. Evans
File under bicycles: This was an epic ride. Here is a photo of Jason climbing Mt. Evans — a whimsical bike ride I chose on the drive up. I have a knack with choices. That was ironic — this ride kicked my ass. But not until the way down. Try maintaining 35 mph in a tuck for 30 minutes. 3 hours up, 30 minutes down.

(WTF Department): Email from China
I write for a wine blog called Wine and Wheels, and once in a while a strange email passes through the tips address. Below is an image of the strangest, to date, email I’ve received.

Triple Chainring, Triple Bypass
Last weekend I went on a bicycle ride along the peak to peak highway in Colorado. The old scenic bypass is a great north-south route between Black Hawk and Estes Park, and it offers great views of Long’s Peak and surrounding beauties. I was fortunate enough to acquire a new(er) road bike for bike season 2007: a Lemond Alpe D’Huez. After a few rides up the local hill, I thought this baby was light enough and I had legs enough to take the Triple Bypass.
The Peak to Peak Highway told me a different story, a short story, a one-word story: NO. To make a short story long, then, tonight a good friend and I, using a 14 inch 3 pound framing hammer and a slotted screwdriver, changed out the bottom bracket and added a triple chainring to the Lemond. 10,000 feet of lung busting elevation gain? Here I come!

Helmets Off to Innovation
I thought I was cool when I would hang my flip-phone over my belt. Here’s a great hands-free method whilst cycling down the street, leisurely, I would assume. This is my friend Red Pants. We traveled around Europe together in 2002. She wore red pants every day for 6 weeks straight, hence the nickname.
P.S., don’t use my trick, it broke my phone. They make those belt clip things for a reason. I just thought they were too yuppie. I’m a yuppie in training, I suppose you have to start somewhere.
