There were a fair amount of bikes on cars yesterday, some work to do at the shop, and it feels like the buzz of cycling is in the air. Can’t decide if I’ll ski today or go for a snow ride….maybe both just to cover all the bases. Maybe I’ll just go to work. Anyway, we have a summer trip schedule almost set in stone. We’ll update the team as we figure shit out.
What we have figured out is that there will be a Pugsley fest on Saturday at high noon for snow bike and non snow bike people alike to celebrate cycling in the winter. There will be plenty of parking at the Ice Rink, so you won’t get a note like this….

We have a new product review, and I’d especially like to thank Chris for the guest editorial on the Larry snow tire that can be found HERE.
In Mafia news, I’d like to extend a big wet willie to Daniel Cheever, seen here taking a break from his demanding figure skating commitments for the Norwegian National Team to model Ted Nugents “intensity in 10 cities” stage suit.

and here he is in the throws of competition.

Anyway, Dan, who’s nickname after 27 beers is Staniel Montgomery Beaver, got really fucked up one night and left/had his bike taken somewhere. The details are hazy at best, and really at this point, unimportant. The joyous fact, my friends, is that the pink Surly Pepto-Dismal has been found.

Ah, the 1×1 with the Evil sticker and the One fucking speed sticker, V brake only – I think Chris P has my Mafia 1 x 1….maybe it’ll turn up at a bike swap too? We used to be kings….a thousand years ago.
And if you need proof, Troy Rarick sent me this this image from the Mafia’s take over of the 2005 Fruita Fat Tire Festival. You will see all the rockstars there…including myself as Ted Nugent.
Oh my, that was fun.
