Yet Another Burrito Night Sandy Skipped
Posted: 28th May 2010 by The Ghost of Jerry Reed in Daily RamblingsJose was right and his proof was in the pudding known as Google Images, and not “Pixel Sticks” as Jose lovingly refers to them. What proof? Basically, the Soma RUSH track frame downtube graphic and its eerie similarity to this… and yeah, who’s gonna be at Papa Jazz tomorrow thumbing through the dollar bins looking [...]
OK, first of all. This is Geddy Lee, the ugliest man on Earth and bassist for the band RUSH: Second, please gaze upon the new green Soma RUSH track frame in all its prog glory! FRAM3740 (for those of you following along in your catalog) sports new, completely contradictory graphics on the down tube and [...]
Commuter Bike Of The Week…
Posted: 25th May 2010 by The Ghost of Jerry Reed in Commuter Bike of the Week, Daily Ramblings… Belongs to Justin of Shipping/Receiving/Perfumery. You may know him as Justy, Justicus Maximus or Old Fuss-n-Feathers, but to the accounting and sheriff’s department, he shall always be J-Town and J-Town’s commuter ride is a case study in functional frugality melded with Tokyo cyberfunk. Cobbled together from pieces both purchased and donated (sic. conjured), this [...]
Basso In Your Face, Not An Eight Track…
Posted: 24th May 2010 by The Ghost of Jerry Reed in Daily RamblingsHoly moley, it appears Ivan Basso is back and “cleaner” than ever? Only time and the passage of bodily fluids into a lab cup will tell, but one must admit that there was certainly “no frontin” on his performance from Sunday afternoon’s little jaunt up the Zoncolan in The Giro. Homeboy was obviously “feelin’ it” [...]
Tons of thanks to Brueggers Bagels for supplying the ride with post-ride bagels, muffins and coffee! Not only are they committed to filling our bellies with awesomeness, they’re committed to supporting cyclists and cycle-friendly communities. Starbucks’ coffee tastes like bat pee and their muffins are borderline poison. BRUEGGERS FOREVER!!!
Firstly, esteemed purchasing department cohort Patrick forwarded this bit of Double Down-related information yesterday. I don’t know if I should be sickened or elated, or a little of both (sicklated?) but it’s worth the cursory glance. I guess viral marketing works and it’s here to stay. Unfortunately, with this fat bomb’s success, is it a [...]
Ugh, late notice but Columbia’s Ride Of Silence is at 7:00 PM tonight. Meet at the Richland County Administration Building, 2020 Hampton Street for an easy paced, short route in honor of cyclists injured or killed on public roads. There’s a post-ride chow down at El Burrito following the ride…
Mike Watt used to have a sign in the window of his tour van (The Boat) that said “Life is just a bowl of porkchops” [blog post 7-9-09] and for some reason, I though it a fitting title for Josh and Jose’s ride. From Saturday’s Tour De Midlands, in Joshie’s words:Well, there we were, just [...]
Tour De Midlands: The Centurian Candidate
Posted: 17th May 2010 by The Ghost of Jerry Reed in Daily Ramblings“Dude, say hello to my lil’ friends”Joshie, Jose and The Blog signed up for Saturday’s Tour De Midlands. The Blog was signed up for the century, but with the Ritchey cross comp tires on, there was a certain reticence to going the “full monty” and the “metric monty” started to have greater and greater appeal.
