Hi there, welcome to the BLOG of my life as a Vagabiker. Beryl calls me a 'Free Spirit' my Grandpa a B.U.M. of no fixed address. Kelly says I'm 'off the wall'. I think that the Toad is closest saying I'm the Cat in the Hat it's fun to have fun—but you have to know how.

These are the stories of my unique, home-and-job-free Natness.

Naturally, quasi-legal events are fictional. Everything else is the unvarnished truth.

the Subie’s final waltz?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

den-gerPlan A: was to hit the road and make the 6h out of the desert in the cool of Sunday evening.
Plan B: was formulated until I woke up Monday morning having not made plan A. But I was showered, had slept 9h, and my belly was full of some Ames Famliy BBQ. Not to mention that I spent 2h in the pool, ‘cooling my core’ temperature, and otherwise cavorting with my homies Emily and Colin.

Before I even got to Vegas my butt was cramping, probably a combination of the worn out seat, and the racing. Subie, is possibly due for a timing belt change, and as a precaution I purchased the required belts, and ratchet set.. sitting as preventative measure in the shotgun seat. (more…)

Good times rolling to an end in Florida…

beach hoppinSo I have had a few really great, but slightly whirl-wind final weeks in Clermont FL. The last 2.5 being with some great people rocking out solid training camps.

A few Tuesdays ago there was a spring road race in Lake Louisa. Sean and Epic Cycles, were converting my TT Bike to a Road Racing machine while I was mailing e-bay stuff. It was tight, no time for frills like bar tape.
Gear for Multisports has been helping me out, family dinners, and the likes. So if you need sneakers at lower (US) dollar rates, and less tax, talk to them about the shipping to Canada Options.

Also thanking my close Clermont friends, Epic Cycles for Race wheels, and much more. I can’t emphasize how great these guys30+ champine are. Even if you don’t like bikes, just sit on the leather couch, watch TV and enjoy a beverage. (more…)
