Can you say Lemming

So how do you make an easy ride hard? Today was going to be an easy ride as yesterday was filled with brutal love in the form of hills on soft MMR roads. So today was going to be flat. I even asked which direction would be best east, south, or west. Mike in his way of wanting to abuse others (knew there was something about him that I liked), sent me north about 15 miles with the wind. Not bad until you factor in the hills. That then was followed by the return route which was even hillier and still had the wind in my face. What a way to explore the new area. Thats Mr Lemming to you.

Polo Season Opener

Getcher beaters ready. Polo @ Swanson tomorrow - 1pm after CX.

Pedal Powered Sam

Love it... he's got no sense of boundaries on the bike. Dirt, concrete - makes no difference. Sweet jumps are next.

Ragbrai 2009

God, I love that ride!

Pre Rag Ride

Went with iTod and Kurt for a 50 mile Northy the Saturday before RAGBRAI. We were pulled over by the Washington Co. Sheriff & "Junior" for riding on the road next to the Boyer Chute. Ridiculous. Fun ride though.

What a place to ride

What a beautiful day for a ride.

~40 miles in Leadville, CO.

No new tale to tell

Moo.

Near Manawa

Josh and I on the north loop.

Facebook took over my online contribution bandwidth. Mostly because it's down with my mobile attititude. Once blogger gets its act together and develops a nice iPhone app that allows multiple photos with wysiwyg editing - I'll post more crappy pictures like these. Contain yourself.

For now, I'm brainstorming a nice summer backyard bike theater ride. In my new big backyard up the street from Josh. 5 minutes from the top of the Keystone.

Helmet Cam - Bike Polo on Ice

Bike Polo on Ice

We need more ice time.

Ice Polo

So the story goes, a chicken on a bike played polo on ice...

Video coming soon of the shenanigans on St. Paddys. T-bone had the helmet cam on while we hit the ice at 1st intermission at the Lancer game. Wicked, wicked fun. Meantime, check out some polo links:

Legit Bike Polo

Hardcourt Bike Polo

Boston Bike Polo

Hard Court Polo Practice

2 v 1 today... SA, T-Bone and I got some training in today.

Colorado Can Cup

Beer. Bikes. It's a perfect relationship. Symbiotic even. Add mallets, a ball and some friends. I'll be eagerly awaiting the results and hoping for some video from the Colorado Tournament just held this weekend...

Oskar Blues gots it goings ons.

(Not so) BRR

Heading out tomorrow morning to Perry with Josh and maybe Kurt. See you there...

Winter Polo

tunes: Vampire Weekend | A-punk

Polo @ 1

T-Bone gave me the gear before heading out to Portland... I'll be there at 1pm with Shad.

Omaha Bike Polo

Good crew last week. 12 strong, alternating players on dabs.

Snow's coming...

Is this a mockery of Bike Polo?

What next?

Bike Hero

Amazing.

Polo Tomorrow... 52 an' sunny - no excuses.

Bike Polo Omaha

Season opener is in the bag. Seven showed up for a good time, and didn't get let down. Getcher self out to Swanson on Sundays. Play at 1 pm - bring a beater bike and beverages. Mallets and gear provided.

Apologies for the crap vid. Shooting video with a camera in one hand, a polo mallet in the other and staying on 2 wheels while taking a shot or two gets bumpy...
