RIDe Hard, RiDe Lot(s) Days

Nothing crazy exiting at the moment, just the continuing of my ambition to BIKE.
(RIGHT side) bike log updated......

Victory is mine!

NO pic's , just leg pumping victory for this post, I am celebrating biking to work for 33 consecutive days (note new bike log on the upper right). Might not seem like much to anyone but myself, but considering the weather in these parts the past months it is a victory, and I am glad to say I have not gave way to the peer-pressure of my owe human reasoning. To ride the green machine (pic on blog) in snow, sleet, rain, dark, cold, repeat!- on one single gear to put me through such a test, I will claim victory.......the endurance to continue, smell nature, and prove to all the SUV-carbon monoxide clogging,cellphone talking whiners that say "IT can't be done!" , well hop on board! because it CAN and is easier than you think....yes you will have to leave the radio and heated seats behind,but the pay-off will reward you! and soon you will have the luxury of the Gas bill I have....can't argue with the results and $$ in pocket.

Batterrrrrrrrrr UP!!

How I REALLY spent my first day of Spring Break......Monday was considered the first day, according to the "real working world"/school.....

The great opportunity to fulfill a bit of a dream, to attend Opening Day at a Mariners game! this was the year, I came, I saw, and smelled the grass.............. er, witnessed the new pitcher (Bernard), shouted batting tips to Ichiro, and told Richie Sexton to pick up the pace this year!! and with a opening day win it was all worth it..............GO M's

Pic's to prove it all was not a dream...

How my SPRIng Break started........

There's day's I wish I was allergic to this stuff!!! that way I would have leave immediately, board a plane to a sunny destination, and "due to my medical condition" have to stay for an extended period of time. ( Any know a doctor that would write such a prescription???)

This is what I woke up to on my first day of spring break.............need I say more!

LET's RoLL!

This post is all about the wheels baby! two recent purchases(due to the charity fund known as my Birthday) have caused my legs to pump like no-other. I can't seemed to get away from style.... and function if it happens to get in the way.
SO give a look at the new upgrades, but don't salivate like a dog at the butcher shop.....JUst look!

The Easy Rider...

(1950's J.C Higgins)
YES! I'll still race you........single speed

**And the success continues in the "bike to work" project....day 12, the tribulation is getting less, the legs & lungs stronger, and I can almost see the road in the mornings....... au natural LIGHT!



Smooooooooooth Rollers...

a little camera effect in affect.......retro dude!

Create....then Immulate

MOnthsly has kicked in and I am on a roll......back-to-back week post!

New camera, so now I think I can be apart of the "cool" blog nation.
I like to mess around with photo-olgy, is that even a word? ahhhh, refer to prior post and it's legal.
This would be the same as taking a class,buying the book and feeling you have to read it...
So with the new camera I feel I must use it to exempt the passion that it was "all worth it"

The following pictures where self inflicted and composed all by myself! creativity was the key....along with a bit of "spring fever".










And yes the conquering IS happening.....riding my bike to work....7 days strong, amongst trail,tribulation, and "do I really have to get up earlier?"

PeEk -A-BoO

I have coined the new phrase "MONTHSLY", that my friends is someone who gets around to updating his/her blog on a "whenever I get around to it" mode compared with a "I have to do it" mode, ahhhh the power of creating your own verbiage! the freedoms we have in America...

These past months have been a blankets of SNOW; a month ago my only form of exercise was shoveling snow on a daily bases, but today is different... I RIDE! many would know biking is one of my passions ( note the name of this blog site: bikespoke) and after a winter of lying in the fetal position for days on end I have had enough! March 1st the declaration was made to get back on the bike and ride to work, the goal has been successful and I have accoplished such a feet for 2days now---there's no stopping now!! even through sleet and rain (yesterday) I will conquer!

So, stay tuned to MONTHSLY updates as I regain passion to keep this thing going, biking can do wonders for the mind, body & blogging.......YOU too should try it.
