Well, Smurfette isn’t really dead, but as of today she’s no longer my sole bicycle. As of today, I’ve got this beautiful new Surly Long Haul Trucker in my garage. She’s the same color but a much different personality which puts me in a quandary as to what to name her. Smurfette II just doesn’t seem right . . . Any ideas? I’ll buy a drink for the person with the best idea.

Freewheel 2010 Gallery
So after a break of 16 years, I hopped on the bike and headed out on Freewheel, Oklahoma’s cross state bicycle tour. I probably should have trained some for the ride because the first several days took a lot out of me and for the first time I came short by 30 miles one day. However, the ride was beautiful and by the end I was feeling top notch. I didn’t shoot much, but below are some pictures from the trip .

It All Must Go!
There comes a time in every man’s life when he is asked to shave his head for a good cause. While some might hesitate from such a challenge, a proud few refuse to shirk from the cause.

An Offical Red Ryder
It took me 20 years, but I finally got a Red Ryder bb gun. Time to shoot an eye out.
New Web Site
Staring at trucking regulation software code had started dissolving my brain as of late. I’ve got way to much to do and too little time. And yet, I needed a project to take my mind off of it. As many of you know, I’ve really gotten back into cycling lately (no spandex jokes necessary) and while I love riding around town, there’s not much in information about resources for Oklahoma City cyclists.

My Brush with Death
On my way home tonight I came as close to my own demise as I have ever been before. I was stopped at the corner on my bicycle with a fellow bicyclist next to me and a truck behind me. The car shown on the left, struck a van about a block down the street then hit a Jeep, which flipped over on its roof and somehow continued on down the block at an incredible rate of speed considering it had no front end and slipped behind me by about 5 feet and struck the truck behind me spinning it around.

Finally answering the question, “How many Internet/You Tube jokes can be crammed into one music video.”:
