What would King do

uncontrolled Hearts roaming our streets

Mad at some enemy

why I shall Stand up and preach

a Gospel of peace 

 

 demonstrated on a cross

 

you see king was willing

 

  to go to his cross

 

Gospel I see

The Mask

The absolute finest video I have seen so far this summer

a must watch however, it will change your life the way the Gospel used to

would say this that freedom is a tough exchange after doing what you want to do

as Pink Floyd cries "wish you were here"

that song? download the focking words

best thing about the net is the chaos as its the wave that can take you under

one must access the risk got the pronoun correct for once

So I thought I should write another poem.

What is a bicycle?

Well that is a grand question.

Course its about a personal perspective.

My pals were having a "productive discussion" about American politics.

Who is the enemy?

Choose me.

I just love Tip O'Neal who coined the term that all politics is local.

course what is local.

I have a bitch.

We have a local ten million dollar park that no one knows about and no one can hardly get into.

Course who am I?

Just a local guy who would love to see this new park expanded and developed.

And so as I ramble on I wanted to talk politics.

And here it is one of my crazy poems.

Trump or Clinton whats the difference did your personal life get better or worse from either of them?

Here is an American perspective. We will out last you.


          Not Elected But Chosen

What if they get in

Should Waukesha residents have nuclear weapons

Should one die by car

By far you shall die by car

On any American road

To lower ones risk

Stay away from any bicycle

Bicycle riding is the risk on any American road

I love the risk

Jesus said love one another

On any Christian road

Only road to him but love to the other

Rainbow Springs

Rainbow springs is the name of Wisconsin's most expensive park.

Was it worth the money?

You be the judge....

Many say that politics does not matter  I beg to differ....

 Of course I would say politics gave us this new very expensive park. The finest in Wisconsin in my not so humble opinion.

One fine politician that I loved once said that all politics was local

I tend to agree

Local can be loco....

It is a must visit...

Come and see for your self

can we justify yet one more expensive park....

I think so....


                            A River


The lord works in mysterious ways

to save a river so fair and so love covers all

as I walk and see the lust to own such beauty

how can only one own

the spirit has returned

so that spirit fills all in turn

come let me show you a river

Snowy windy wintery day on the Glacial Drumlin Trail

Today I went out on the Glacial Drumlin trail for a couple hour bike ride.

It was really windy ....and about 32 degrees till it started to snow!

It was that kind of snow with the wind when it hurts your face when riding into a fierce head wind and when the snow built up on the trail it got to be a workout....

Always fun to get out on a bike in late February.....

The Gates Pedal System

If you check out a pic of my new 9:Zero:7 fat bike I added a Gates pedal system to the bike.

The pedals are wide platforms made out of a plastic resin over metal and that plastic pedal base works well over a metal pedal base to insulate against cold.....I know it sounds crazy but it does make a big difference when the temps really drop.

The gates pedal system was about 50 dollars over at Back Yard Bikes out of LaGrange WI and has a velcro strap system that really holds the foot in place almost as good as a clipless pedal.....but the down side is that they are a little tricky getting the feet into them with a full hiking boot...

Overall I think that these pedals are awesome and work really well however there is a new boot out now for extreme winter temps made by 45North for clipless pedal systems.....next season for me on those.....but for now these pedals are just great for thick comfy warm hiking boots....

I know many a fat biker that just ride platform pedals with no clips or clipless and that is an option in deep snow conditions but for me with the little snow that we have had in Wisconsin these Gates pedals are wonderful and of course there is a huge  buzz over that 45North killer winter boot for clipless pedals....

Beautiful day and a kewl new bike.....

A bit of slogging through some sticky wet snow

Ride to Lapham peak

I hooked up with this plowed bike trail going towards Lapham peak which is a cool Wisconsin State park... This is a connector trail off of the fantastic Glacial Drumlin Trail keeping cyclists off the very busy Waukesha county roads. The weather was fantastic approaching 40 degrees with lots of snow melt yet the trail was awesome!!

Fat bikes are for "dirty" trails!!

That 9:Zero:7 got a good work out today judging by all that Glacial Drumlin limestone dust that dried on that bike!


 Boy, that stuff is harder to clean up then mud!

 I was covered in a light layer of limestone cake after the ride but a beer or two and about 45 minutes the bike was clean and I was clean and I scraped the lime stone off of my shoes..... The KMB
