Thrilla in Woodinvilla
One of the best things about this ride is that it starts and ends at Red Hook Brewery.

29er Fork Inspection
Just got my new bike part in the mail yesterday, it is for my rigid single speed 29er mountain bike project. This morning Oliver helped me look it over make sure it was the right size and if you look closely in the first photo he is putting the crown race on the fork.

Tearing it up!
So Oliver and I spent the night together while his mommy was out at a PEPS training for group leaders. I made diner and then as I was cleaning the dishes Oliver decided to organize his kitchen shelves. Unfortunately, he only had enough energy to pull everything out. Pajamas, brushing, 4 books, and 1.2 songs later and he was asleep.

Cyclocross Prep
This year I have been racing cyclocross and tonight Oliver helped me pin my numbers on, he knew where to find them and where they were suppose to go on the jersey. He impresses my every day with how much he knows.
Of course he had to try it on.

Chilly Hilly 2010
The last weekend in February was the annual Chilly Hilly Bike ride put on by the cascade bicycle club. For the past three years my younger brother Travis has joined us in Seattle for this ride. This year was packed with cyclist verging on way too many on the roads. I was a gorgeous day and we have not had a chilly Chilly Hilly ride for four years now maybe next year will be cold and wet.

Mount Shuksan Trip Feb.
On the Weekend of Feb 20 & 21 2010, Joe, Kristy, and Myself went on a winter adventure to attempt to climb Mount Shuksan in the North Cascades. We did not make the summit, I got tired early and stopped about 1000 feet below the summit pyramid and Joe and kristy made it to the base. Pictured is my coffin like accommodation for Saturday night. It was actually quite cozy.

New Bike
So recently I have been biking to work and have so far made it 27 days in a row. My goal was 30 and I was going to buy a new(for me) frame. Well I found one a bit early but it will most certainly get me to my goal.

Hyak Skiing
Ben, Joe, Kristy and I all went skiing up at Hyak today. After Joe informed us that the pass got dumped on with snow we could not resist the temptation to get in some turns. The three animals below got in three runs and I got in two plus some quality lodge time. With snow like that it does not seem winter in the mountains is anywhere near ready to be done.

Chilly Hilly 2-24-08
The Nervous moments before they released the gates onto Bainbridge Island!
.5 miles in and I am beat!
One of the few pics of "Biker T" actually biking and the only reason there is not more is because he was so far ahead most of the time, finishing one hour before bits and I.

Seattle Bus Adventures
Well two in one day, I am truly proud of myself. I am in the process of trying to be more productive. Although, I bet many may find this not very productive.
For those of you who have gotten to work via something other than driving alone to work at least two times since Oct 8th check out Wheel Options you have a chance to win stuff like vacations to Moab! I know announcing this to you all will ultimately lower my chances of winning albeit not by much. Good thing I am not selfish.
Now for my story of my most recent bus occurrence:
I was coming home tonight from work which is currently over in West Seattle. I was on the #2 and decide to claim my throne at the back of the bus. I was sitting on one side of the back seat and another man was sitting on the other. Shortly after sitting down the other man turned himself in a very obvious and sketchy looking way as if to hide something. He then turned back to the front although hunched forward. Well me being a humane being and all I was a bit curious so I happened to look over at him to see what he was doing(counting about 200 dollars worth of twentys) not a lot of money really. Well to make a long story short, he noticed that I saw him counting his millions and needless to say some words were had.
Strange man on bus says:
"Whatca you in my buisness for man"
I say:
"I am not you were just looking a little sketchy"
SMOBS:
"I wont call my boys, you seem alright"
I say:
"No need to call anyone, were cool"
Yada Yada Yada
SMOBS:
"Ah man you are from Wisconsin, I have got this brewers hat that I thought was a mariners hat but it is really cool, you ride this bus often I will give it to you. It will have to wait till summer, later."
END STORY
It was just weird, although i have seen much more interesting stuff on the 358 that runs on Aurora Ave. Maybe for another time.
INTERESTING SIDE NOTE: My first experience with Seattle was back in 2002 while I was courting the bits. I arrived a day early and was taking a Seattle bus from the airport to west seattle to meet timo bit's brother. the bus had to pull over because a huge fight broke out punches, blood, cops the whole works.

Two Months have passed Yikes!
Well it seems like it has gone by too fast or maybe not I am not sure or care to try and figure it out. Here is what I have been up to I hope you enjoy and I also hope that the www will be around long enough so that I may look back some day and enjoy as well.
June 16th 2007 - Cascade bicycle Club Flying Wheels Summer Century (metric century for us) Bits, Joe, and myself. It was a good training ride and a fun day to be out. I recently purchased a new (to me) bike and was testing it out for the upcoming Seattle to Portland bike ride. It worked out well and I should have kept it but instead I sold it which turned out to be a mistake which you can read about it later down the page. More pictures available at the one and only Kintty Bits
June 23rd 2007 - Darrington, Wa Climbing Silent Running 5.9+ This was a fun multi-pitch climb I think about 500 feet. I even almost lost the bottom of my shoe thank your god for athletic tape. The climb pretty much follows the blank wall right up the middle and then a bit left. Another point of interest some of the bolts on this one were well let us just say they were recalled about 20 years ago they seemed bomber to me pause pause pause pause pause NOT.
July 14th and 15th - Seattle to Portland Bike ride!
Well Bits does a most excellent job of describing this event IMHO she left out the best pic. I also owe her for her most outstanding efforts in towing me in the last 8 or so miles. With out her I would probably still be walking to Portland and I am forever grateful.
July 21st and 2nd - Tieton River Climbing with Joe
Joe and I check out a new area after much debate about where we could find the perfect ratio of good weather and low numbers of people! Well we lucked out and found a pretty good ratio. We got our crack fix in for awhile and again thank your god for athletic tape. No that is not Humpty Dumpty!
June 29th- Bike ride to Marmot with bits
We took a bike ride over to Marmot to pick up a Whiz kid Harness for our upcoming trip to NJ where we plan on taking our little nieces climbing. Below I was trying to get in some reps while bits used the rest room. Check out that bike skirt(hand made by bits).
