Sara is a friend in New York and what seems like years and years ago she brought her old style film camera and made this short of us playing in The Pit. We all got to see her work at one of the first Bike Shorts. Still one of my favorites.

This story about my MKE friends has been all over the web. I heard my friend Bike Snob even wrote about it. Anyway for some reason it reminds me of that movie The Legend of Billie Jean. Last night I listened to about 15 min of some 30+ min radio talk show that took callers [...]

By NYC standards we got dumped on Saturday night. About 10″ to a foot of snow in The Pit Sunday morning.
Thanks to the players who did the real work of getting that unwanted snow out of The Pit. The games were fun.
Ryan from FL was back in town for some icy games.
Thanks Birdseye for letting [...]

*cough cough*Those boys may be looking for sponsoships…wearing their brands proud.
Not me, I’m rockin’ a handmade hat that a messenger in Pittsburgh made and a polo lady traded me for a Swobo cap.
We had such a blast with you NYC and Troy Boys. We were operating on very, very little sleep that day so please excuse our sheepish behavior. We will return someday and we will be more on our game; well rested, trained and tapered, and ready to rock!
