This is one view. The other view, which you all know, is a historic home that has ties ties to Pike’s Peak. There’s also a cemetery just beyond this spot – think cyclocross bike.

It’s a tradition for the weeks following the New Year: some base miles West on 8 in Northern Kentucky along the river. We all know each of the landmarks and hills. The real rides start when we head East, but for now, it’s nice to get our legs spinning after weeks of snow and catch up with the Hungry fellows.

I was going through some photos from this year and almost trashed this one. It deserves a second look. Nice gap.

Cincinnati is showing some initiative in creating a more bike friendly city. On my ride to the bike shop this Friday I was pleasantly surprised by one of these:

Thank you Cincinnati!

Local Police love Team Hungry.

On the ride last night, Scott had to pee pretty bad so we pulled over while he took care of his business. Seconds after he had “it” pulled out, a cop came from behind. He stopped his car, rolled down his window, and said “I’d write you a ticket for indecent exposure, but you are already in decent exposure.”

Use that joke in you next stand-up routine and make sure that you’re in your Hungry kit next time you’re in court.

Phil Wood Anniversary Track Hubset.

Only one hundred of them are being made, and according to the Phil Wood site there are only about 10 left to pre-order. Notice that the gold is not anodized – they are gold plated.

Screw getting a grill. If I needed some new track wheels, I’d be all over these. If you want to be the hottest thing on Major Taylor this summer, go for it now.

3v3 (and some 4v4), two days. Finally found a site worth a damn, that which is made of a flat, non pock-marked and paved surface, and has WALLS. Tie that to the most pristine day of pre-spring weather and we are in business. The only thing we needed to have happen is for folks to turn up. In that, we had about ten players, some of which I had never even seen play. If only we could get all of those who have come out intermittently to appear all at once…

Here we are playing within wafting distance of Montgomery Inn’s gaudy post-Soviet structure to the east and the Carl Lindner Tennis complex also hidden behind a concrete wall. It is approximately a circle although I think it is slightly longer than it is wide. With some dilligence, lots of plywood, … Read More »

Mark Mallory loves Team Hungry. His tie matches our jerseys rather nicely. You can’t tell, but the pin on his jacket is the Mouth.

I hope we are this cool one day.

I stole this from another blog, again. Apparently we are all “cycle hotties.”

Jackie K. is very cool. I stole this image from her blog.

We had an exciting weekend: Goldsprints with the mayor, Scott Pardi’s B-day, Tim’s debut outside, and some lifting. The Mark Mallory thing was pretty amazing, we’ll have a report soon…
