I’ve had these on a hard drive for ages, and they are a bunch of what I think of as great photos of the family and our honeymoon trip to Ireland. Enjoy

NRS Toaster Mitts
There are a lot of choices out there for hand-wear: Gloves, mitts, pogies. I’ve had at least three different types of gloves since I started paddling. My Salamander gloves are pretty great most of the time. But gloves for warmth have never been the best option. The inuit knew this, the Norse knew this too. …

Pier view of the Broken Paddle Day
Doug Wiche took these pictures from the Pier on the day I broke my paddle. All I have to say is wow, that’s a lot of foam!

The Two Gallants
While this is not the excellent short story by Mr. James Aloysius Joyce of Dublin Ireland, it is a great band. A good friend of mine Tom Potter from East Lansing had a similar lineup in Bantam Rooster. I have a sweet spot for this sort of band.

Iditarod by Bike
Jill Homer plans to ride the Iditarod by Bike! I like the way this woman thinks! Riding this legendary trail typically run by dog sleds seems like an epic ride. She plans to do 350 miles of the trail. She is training now, but is really going to up her miles now that the race …

I actually paused on that one. I felt …

Long Way Round, long time coming
In 2004 Hollywood actor and uber boy toy Ewan (pronounced you-an) MacGregor otherwise known to the general public as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his fellow actor and best mate Charlie Boorman set upon riding around the world by Motorcycle. While I generally think motorized transport is for pansies, the idea of a cross continental journey on …

Tonight I have to leave it
Snotty frozen rain and forty mile an hour winds buffeted me on my morning commute to work. The full winter commuting regalia made it’s first appearance. I think I still need some neoprene booties for my bike shoes. But the fenders and the Bianchi San Jose seem to be holding tight. Except the bloody seat …
