Introducing Bobart

Mike — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 05:01:06 +0000

Bobart is going to be a guest columnist on both Planet Quirky and The Church of the Big Ring.

I ride with Bob frequently and he is prone to spouting out some very bizarre diatribes. For instance, when discussing Floyd Landis and his heroic effort to retake the lead in the Tour de France, it was reported that he took, no joke, a total of 70 water bottles (480 ml each) from the car to keep himself cool and hydrated. Well, Bobart has his own opinion on that. He says he never drinks water during exercise.

“I pour it over my shirt to keep cool. Why make your kidneys do all that work just to SWEAT!”

Bobart was kind enough to contribute these pictures from the Shoreline Trail last night.

Ride North of the City – Ed and Victor Got New Bikes

Mike — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:40:06 +0000

Rode for three hours today hoping to explore the dirt roads north of the city that lead out to the lake. Unfortunately, all roads were gated a mile or so into the adventure. We went on a tour of Swedetown instead. Both Ed and Victor have new cross bikes. Victor got green rims. What the hell was he thinking?

The Dave Zabriskie interview is finally posted over at The Church of the Big Ring. The first of two parts so walk your ass on over there and have a look.

Dave Zabriskie, one of the most unusual stagecoach robbers in American history, wins TTT at 2008 Tour of Georgia

Mike — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:49:51 +0000

Dave Zabriskie has promised Planet Quirky and interview which will be posted here and at The Church of the Big Ring. Probably not likely until the ToG is over. The boys in Argyle threw the hammer down on the hot asphalt yesterday for a win. Hopefully these train robbers can keep it up. I, for one, am jealous of 80 degree temps in GA. Looking back it was 88 degrees in late April last year in Salt Lake. Feels like it’s been 42 forever. I just gave Questar Gas nearly $300 for a spring heat bill. Jeeezz. . .

The Argyle Armada was seen “warming up” before the race with special, non-argyle ice vests. Said Christian Vande Velde, “Most of our racing this year – the Tour of California and Paris-Nice – has taken place in cold, wet conditions. Today was the first hot race of the year and the ice vests helped keep our core temperature down before the race.”

Black Bart

One of the most unusual stagecoach robbers in American history. There is no record of Bart every firing a shot in any of his robberies. Bart, however, was not so lucky. During one robbery a bullet shot at him grazed his head and left a scar. In his final robbery he was shot in the hand. When Bart was arrested he was using the name Charles E. Bolton, the name under which he had been living for years in San Francisco. When he was booked, he gave his name as T. Z. Spalding. However, Bart’s real name was Charles E. Boles. Bart was tried, convicted and sentenced to San Quentin prison. He served his time, was released early, then disappeared without a trace.

Communicating The Huslin Ways

I think Sly Fox hired a professional photographer. He eats lot of bacon and and rides a left handed bike, whatever that is. The bacon and watermelon which seems to be doing wonders for his complexion. No wonder he climbs at 124 watts.

The artwork is looking good and he’s promised a new image every day so go check out the Hustlin Life.
