Bike Culture - Rwanda!

Nyagatare Bike Shop.

Nyagatare bike shop.

Chicken bike in Nyagatare. I thought the chickens were dead, but they were not! He said he hangs them upside down so all the blood goes to their heads, so they get sleepy. Hahaha...

A 'Project Rwanda' bike in Butare (Huye).

Lacing a wheel up north in Musanze (Ruhengeri). Looks like the same job the world over...

Longer Days Around the Corner

On the way up Lookout Mountain in Golden, CO with Casey Dugan and Ty Kiser... this was February '06, maybe?

Poker Night: I won & lost all at once!

Not exactly the WSOP, but solid nonetheless. Besides, the WSOP doesn't have Matt Wayman.

Rusty P making a rare appearance for a Hub Poker match; but he did surprisingly well for his first time out the gate! It was probably the booze. Even Boulder Colorado resident, Derek Loudermilk showed up. Heine played like a true Irishman - drunk!

Don't mess with The Wayman! That would be Kevin Wayman... he makes the final every time.

Thanks guys. And Taylor. You rule!

Bubba CX After Dark...

Saturday evening, I'm not sure how, I got roped into checking out the night time cross race at Creve Coeur Park. Quite the scene it was... shivering spectators, racers in Hula-skirts, and chili-dogs I didn't dare go near, but I think Ron ate about 20?

Raleigh Technium, word.

This picture is very possibly the ONLY picture of Alex Bischoff bike racing! I think this is at the Doe Run MO State Mtb Championships, about 100 years ago. Check out the Johnny Tomac Raleigh special he's on! Alex says I took this picture, but I don't think I did.

Hub day at Council Bluff!

Ron "Hot Rod" Clipp getting revved up for Match #1 of "No Touch". I can't really explain the rules, as I do not know them, but it's something along the lines of smashing your bike into the guy next to you without taking your hands or feet off your bike... if you fall down, put a foot down, or go off the curb, you're out of the game.

Devin trying to intimidate everyone with his skillz.

We rode the lake trail too, but I didn't bring the camera on that. I borrowed Alex's single-speed 29'er with a rigid front fork... which was interesting... my arms are still sore.

The drive home along Hwy 21 (aka "Blood Alley"!) was next-level terrifying, but for Ron's sake, I won't go into that...

More pictures, HERE.
