From Hawaii to Moab to Flagstaff in 2 weeks

It's been a while since my last update so I at least wanted to put something here. Got into Honolulu Sunday the 10th at about 9 am, and passed the Revelle on her way out for several weeks of student cruise exctitement. Lots of glum faces due to their abbreviated port ...

Updates to the TTORA-SoCal website

I managed to finally get around to updating the backend and the content on the TTORA-SoCal website, a site that I share webmaster responsibilities on. Major changes include a new content management system with easier interaction with site visitors, polls, photo galleries, themes, and all kinds of good stuff like ...

Big Bear Write-up, August 2002

3809 The SoCal Big Bear run this weekend (August 22-25, 2002) was a blast!! We had about 50 trucks at the highwater mark Saturday morning. I got to meet tons of new members, and chill with old ones. Lots of great wheeling and great times were had by all. This weekend was ...

Yes, all Shimano road and mountain bike component groups are fully compatible with their line of high-end fishing components. And while that may not mean anything to you, it means the world to the many competitors and fans of the cycling/fishing/sulking triathlons that are so popular in the fjords of Norway.

Bike Snob NYC weighs in on why Shimano bike components are better than Campagnolo.

Finally got a timing belt done

Had fun changing my timing belt on the Audi this weekend. It's amazingly easy to do once you get the front of the car removed. The front bumper, radiator, A/C condenser, and the radiator support just swing out of the way, and you have easy access to the front of ...

Cyclists: The Two-Wheeled Menace

Is it fair that cyclists should be allowed on the road? Cyclists argue that their vehicles are “energy efficient” and that we should all abandon our trucks and start cycling. This hilarious wingnut proposal sounds like something from an Al Gore eco-terror movie. Why should we Americans sacrifice our way ...
