This post isn’t entirely about toilets

There is no toilet paper holder in my bathroom. The roll just sits on top of the toilet. I assume that people who come over and use our facilities find it odd that it is where it is, but it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s been like that since we occupied the residence.

When we bought our house, the holder was kind of hanging by its last leg. KB pulled it off and we set the roll on the counter. We were planning on replacing it and it was a oft mentioned item for about six months. Then it became an accepted part of the bathroom as bigger and more fun projects came around. And now it’s just there. Sitting and waiting for its time to be used. And then it is put back. The four holes where the holder had been are still there. It’s not something that we think about and it doesn’t bother us at all. Continue reading

Professionals need not apply

The first bicycle magazine that I subscribed to was Bike.

It was a long time ago. The glossy photos accompanied by the words of Ferrentino and Felton inspired me through many adolescent daydreams and were the motivation for staying in the cycling industry at the turn of the century. The style the magazine possessed  and these two writers embodied for me was part of what defined the sport. There was always adventure and good writing involved that kept me waiting for the next rag to show up in my mailbox.

But as all good things must come to an end, so did the quality of Bike.  Continue reading

And then there was this…

OK. Sir Prattipus, the almighty knighted one of the fourth generation, I will actually update my website.

After the Mooseknuckler Monster Truck had returned from Toroweap with only but a few lousy pictures of a beautiful place, it was quickly reloaded and pointed toward another secret location where silence exists, cell coverage does not and where the children lose their girlfriends. Yes, I speak of that mythical place known as _____________ (censored by the CIA so the rest of you don’t end up out there). Continue reading

Making Cycling Difficult, for Other People.

Photo by Fixie Dave

I usually just make cycling difficult for myself. However, sometimes there are those who need a little bit of a push into the world of HTFU and so we have to arrange for them to suffer. With this in mind, there was a plan laid that consisted of two phases. 1 get everyone together and get them drunk. 2 make sure said people ride their bikes the next day.

To start the mission, I sent out invitations to  the Mooseknuckler Cycling Alliance Social Lounge (you really would have thought I could come up with a shorter name) that was for a get-together that was to happen after the Red Rock Rampage. The house was cleaned, invitations were made and booze was purchased. Certain of the guests were in for about 5 hours of kick ass fun followed by 18 hours of “holy shit, what have I done to myself?” Continue reading

In the beginning there were four….

ProZac on his annual bicycle ride in SG

For those of you who don’t support the local fish rubber and missed the breaking news, Mooseknuckler Ally ProZac was in town (or is, he wasn’t specific on the exact time he was leaving today). As is now tradition, he wondered over to the shop on the dingled commuter he keeps at the parents’ house and made plans for a ride. Continue reading

Here We Go Again

Tonight is the night you have all been awaiting.  The next installment of the Mooseknuckler Cup Alley Cat Racing Like Bicycle Styled Series of Events.

We are blessed to once again be having the fixed-gear legend, Fixie Dave setting out the course. As is his liking, that means we start on top of one of the steepest damn hills in SG. Meet at the Brooks Nature Park at 400 N. Main Street at 8 pm sharp. We don’t wait around for slackers.

Oh, and bring your game face so we can throw pie at it.

Ride More!
