Some Saturday Photos

April 18th, 2009 by Mike

This is my friend Ed. He tucks his jersey into his shorts but we still like him. We had coffee this morning and talked about bikes.

Then I went for a ride north and came home on the Legacy Pathway and saw this guy somewhere around Farmington. I wonder if he camps along the river?

Somewhere near Farmington

After that I went to Whole foods and sat at the Bike Collective booth for a couple of hours and ate chocolate chip cookies.

Introducing Bobart

December 10th, 2008 by Mike

Bobart
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.

Found: Abominable Bicycle

September 11th, 2008 by Mike

A Cryptozoologic Mystery

This abominable bicycle was found in a SLC park near my home where homeless people often sleep.  It has been there for five days unlocked and untouched.  Judging from the great care taken to fur up this bike for the upcoming winter, I assume it has a loving owner.  Perhaps the owner was high on LSD and wandered off into the hills searching for the elusive Yeti and forgot about the bike.  Perhaps not.  I decided to bring this bike home and do all I can to find it’s loving owner.  It sat out in the rain.  The chain is rusted.  If anyone knows the owner of this bike please let me know.  My only hope is that it can be pleasantly reunited with it’s master.

Thanks for you help,
Michael

An ode to Moss Man, who after 28 days in a hot spring emerged a changed person


"At first I was hungry, Then I just got weak. A couple of times, people came by and asked me if I was OK, did I need any help. But I refused because, I was stubborn. They didn't give me any food, but one of them gave me a beer. That was really refreshing. Probably the best beer I ever had in my life."
