As seen at Farmer Brown's Little Skillet
I think I might have to put down a test ride on one of these, on my "wouldn't mind" bucket list, haha! That's the bucket list that I wouldn't mind trying, but won't regret if I miss out. The other regular bucket list is waaaay more important. Anyway, it's kinda cool :)
Well @jodiekw & I lived in England 4 years, & never saw Le Tour. Today we fixed that. Amazing, the guys so fit & fast, the race so long, & yet the finish still a raucous and rapid stampede along the Champs Élysées. Thousands of people turned out for the spectacle, and yet the whole thing was polite, agreeable and still exciting. Thankful I could be here this year at #TDF and other fantastic places. A vous la France! Just live. You won't regret it.
Downhill in Tahoe from Paula B on Vimeo.
On the recent Labor Day long weekend, I was lucky enough to go up into the hills in South Tahoe with a buddy of mine, @jasonbillington. (Of course, we also took his and my other half, @paulabillington and @jodiekw). (Oh, and the dogs). Our purpose was to accomplish 3 things; 1. burn down the fabulous whitewater rafting tickets on Great American River that I'd won at my lovely friend Yvette's baby shower last year (I know, right? Turns out baby showers aren't that bad after all) 2. a truckload of downhill mountain biking, and 3. generally relax with our girls and our dogs. Well you can see who's riding the downhill bike, and who's more practiced, and who didn't nearly come off his bike right about when @paulabillington started the video on her trusty JesusPhone 3G S. Meaning, @jasonbillington comes roaring down first. Then I dribble in behind. But by jove it was fun. BTW, the seat looks that low, because it is. You just gotta do that with a cross-country bike when you're in the steeps, like a hard blue run at <name redacted> ski resort. If you're wondering what I'm riding (it's really designed for cross-country), look no further.
