Early cross season has begun. Starcrossed was last weekend, what a fun race! This saturday is the Killer Cross Race here in Bellingham. It's been pretty rainy, so it should be good. Next weekend, we're doing something a bit different. Donkelope bikes will be a venue for the Downtown Art Walk. Swing on by and check out some bikes, where they're built, and some artwork by Kelly Hoekema. There will also be a sort of renegade, cross race in the neighborhood. Single speed only.

Last night was the 2nd edition of the Bellingham Bike In. Beer garden, bands, yummy snacks, some short films, and lots of bikes! The show and shine had some great vintage bikes this year. I was one of the judges, and it was hard to pick a winner. Thanks to everyone that came by the donkelope booth to say hi and chat. Thanks to Vince from Mt Bakery. Good times!

Hey everyone, me and Raz went for a ride on friday. It was primo weather, and the trails were in sweet shape. It was a great ride until we got back to the trailhead. No Tail Wagon! Some d-bag stole Raz's trailer. Who the hell does that? I could go on and on, bitching about this. But I'll spare everyone that. So be on the lookout for somebody trying to unload a Burley doggie trailer. Thanks.

It's the last weekend of le Tour. So come on down to Mt. Bakery for some road racing action, along with yummy pastries and prize giveaways. Here are some pics from vacation time. Someday, I'll own a real camera. But for now, it's video with still shots. Yellowstone is sweet. Haven't been there for a long ass time. Went on a great ride there.

It's July!! TdF time! A quick note to all in the area, Mt Bakery is showing the race daily, starting at 5:30am. The 6th will be an awesome stage in Belgium and N. France, over the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix! It's really gonna shake things up. Donkelope Bikes will be there with a little prize giveaway to the person who picks the winner of the day(or the highest finisher)!! So be there.

Well, it's kinda summer here. Some days. It's been a busy spring. So I'm taking off for a couple weeks in search of nicer weather, and stellar road riding. ON WISCONSIN! Where roads are plentiful, but traffic isn't. And where the beer flows way more freely than most places. So if you're trying to get ahold of someone around here, there may be a bit of delay. I will check in with the world wide web occasionally. Here's a little interview that was part of a project Narayan Mahon did for the South Seattle Community College. It was a photo exhibit of various craftspeople in the northwest. Very cool, and well done.
