Little Ado About Nothing

It's been a whirlwind week of kids-not-having-school-ness, capped off by an early bicycle cycling race on Sunday, which I'm proud to say I passed:


There's something to be said for riding plastic bikes in circles really fast.

I mean I'm not sure what it is, but it's definitely something.

Anyway, as much as I love the Fredding about I'm long overdue for a slow "jorts" ride on a metal bike with fat tires, so that's what I'm about to do.  (Between the Fredding and the rain it's been far too long since I've been on the Jones.)  Rest assured the publication of the Eroica California Outside story is imminent.  Also, I expect to take delivery of a new-to-me "forever bike" by week's end, and I will tell you all about it.  But not now.

In the meantime, I invite you to check out the Bike Forecast for the latest in the sublime shit-show that is New York City cycling.

Yours in Jorts,

    Rasputitsa was wet and cold and muddy - no local Vermont police handed out tickets as far as I know.

    Beginning to think Outside did some sort of catch-and-kill thing with the Snob's Cali Erotica story.

    Well honestly, there are worse things than a little rain on a ride.

    It seems that some of your readers are "jones-ing" for another glamour shot taken at l'eroica of you in bib shorts.

    I continue to be amazed by how much bucolic splendor you manage to find in that narrow strip of land between the Hudson and Long Island Sound. Driving, it doesn't seem like there's even enough room in between parkways.
