  • Biked on Boulder's paths all night with a mischievous girl in the moonlight and a waffle iron in my panniers. #
  • Anybody up for another playa "training ride" tonight? Would it be absurd to try and ride to New Belgium and back by moonlight? #
  • Way up north it's the perfect temperature for moonbathing and stargazing with the crickets, cicadas, and toads. #
  • Helping Kerry put up onions and tomatoes and other garden fruits for the long harsh winter. #
  • How could I be anything but happy to have inspired someone else to go on a bicycle date? #
  • Indulging in a little camouflage and para-aramid fiber lust, fashion bedamned! #
  • Thank goodness for coffee, waffles, dynamos and LEDs. Headed out to inspect 18km worth of bike lanes for @bouldergobldr on @burningman time. #
  • Right. So I'm supposed to be all packed up and ready to go in 24 hours. Uh huh. We'll just have to see about that! #
  • Just about packed… gonna nap until grocery and hardware stores open, or thereabouts. #
  • I think it's time to get out into that dusty, dusty Bat Country… #

  • Found a bunch of Boletus edulis backpacking. Dried some in the field, carried the rest home. Didn't get here until uh, 5am? Need to sleep. #
  • Ugh! Finally made it out of bed. Must… Turn… Off… Gobi! #
  • Why is it that every time I go hiking with someone I end up feeling like I need to send them a stinkin' bibliography? #
  • I'm all packed up for a bicycle picnic at the Boulder Reservoir tomorrow, sleeping under my laundry drying on the clothesline. #LotusEaters #
  • An extravagant bicycle picnic. Decadent in a sustainable 19th century way. #
  • Ever wish you had super x-ray eyes to see through all the PR bullshit? Check out Poligraft from the @sunlightnetwork http://bit.ly/aT4Nsm #
  • OH "Gah, now I can finally stop masquerading as a respectable human being." #
  • Another bicycle picnic scheduled for tomorrow. Should it be wine, or iced coffee? It's a hard life. I may have myself a fainting spell. #
  • I go out of my way to take 13th through @downtownboulder because it feels so good. Please make more of these human streets @bouldergobldr #
  • When I woke up I thought "Crap! What day is it?" Then I realized I didn't actually care. #LotusEaters #
  • Waylaid by the Boulder farmers market. Again. Irregular peaches and tomatoes at the end of the day. Bread. Persian garlic. I am weak! #

  • Had a successful first hosting of someone from http://CouchSurfing.com 1 request per day is too many though. I need a more focused profile. #
  • I wonder if I know anybody in Boulder who would enjoy a day of thrift store shopping… #
  • Joined @egocarshare saw Body Worlds in Denver w/ @somer_andom did some thrift store shopping and babysitting. Sweet day. #
  • Sweet! I've got tix for da Bike Film Fest Sep. 9-11: http://bit.ly/a8k3jm to be preceded by New Belgium's Tour de Fat: http://bit.ly/bHTHSE #
  • If you know it, tell me your address on the Playa. I'll be near the Pink Mammoth at 8:30 & G w/ a bunch of other Ultramontane Lotophagi… #
  • Avoided fainting, but only just. Why does the loss and sight of such a tiny amount of blood feel so much? #
  • Who would like to go on a midnight bike ride to a dark place for the Perseids? Left to my own devices… Brainard? Other places also good! #
  • Mkay, how can I resist an underwear themed bike ride… @happythursday #
  • And the first stop: boulder 303, a vodka distillery. Good lord. #
  • Ride has coagulated out by CU research park. I'm heading for the hills and aiming for the stars. #happythursday #
  • Okay okay, Flagstaff/Walker Ranch, not Brainard. #perseids #
  • Visceral, wholesome transcendental pleasure of falling asleep under an ecstatic naked sky with your lover. #
  • To all the generations of Egyptians, Greeks and Romans that turned Cucumis melo from a bitter desert gourd into the cantaloupe: Thank You! #
  • Heading up to the Pierre Lakes and Capitol Peak near Carbondale for the weekend for some alpine sky. Should be back in Boulder late Sunday. #

  • Heading out with the Community Cycles rolling bike clinic for a day of bicycle fixation. #
  • I have a special place in my heart for cantilever brakes with irreplaceable sun baked plastic parts. Not. #
  • I am in love with this Fascinating Modern Age We Live In. Thank you for existing. #
  • Another day, another hike at dawn. I think I must be a good 30-50% underslept since moving to Colorado. #
  • Headed northward to build some bikes for Community Cycles… #
  • CO plate 699 VNW parked blocking bike lame on south bound 19th just north of Edgewood. #
  • Bike building and beer, cool ride downhill from north Boulder, lightning flashing in the east, blowing kisses on the wind. #
  • Due to an unforeseen lack of coffee, this morning will be delayed by an hour. #
  • While reading "Born With A Bang" to Ada (6 yo) I found it hard not to get teary eyed. #
  • I hate finding a sex-crazed coke fiend in my kitchen… especially when they're chopping garlic and chiles on my silicone baking sheet. #
  • Leatherman multi-tool: $27. Silicone menstrual cup: $23. Look on the checkout clerk's face: priceless. #
  • It seems that zero hours of sleep plus a ride up Lee Hill is really quite a bit less rest than two hours of sleep. #
  • Waffles at White Russians for breakfast at 4:20pm? And now heading down to Denver for 1st Fridays and some of that so-called "culture". #
  • They should really pedestrianize Santa Fe for first Fridays in Denver. It's a crazy people zoo! #
  • #TEDxBoulder was okay, not awesome. I wonder what the speaker selection process was like. Did inspire good conversation w/ @86redshoes tho #

  • I've got the heart and lungs to run a couple of miles barefoot at 5400 feet. If only I had spring-a-ling legs to match! http://bit.ly/d7hB9D #
  • 3k barefoot night run + 15k hike to ~4000m at 6am == slow shuffling and no love of stairs. But then again, what did I think would happen? #
  • I think maybe I am finally caught up on sleep. Now if only I had some massage oil and a masseuse for these ridiculous calves. #
  • My current digs: http://bit.ly/abEs5z And a typical Colorado Monday in summer: http://bit.ly/9ZjW6E #
  • RT @bouldergobldr: We need 2 more volunteers 4 the bike parking count on Fri. 7-8pm & Sat. 11am-Noon. Contact hagelinc@bouldercolorado.gov #
  • Awesome morning ride to Ward via Lee Hill: cloudy up, sunny down, Sichuan dan dan noodles and good conversation at the top. Thanks Lincoln! #
  • Heading down to Lakewood on the GS to play some Celtic tunes. And I'm running late of course. #
  • Bryan, Stephanie, Mike, Susan, Isadora, Liz, me, waffles, uh, is there *anybody* out there working today? :) #
  • Local atmospheric Raleigh number spiking. Nap time must be over. #
  • Is there really ever such a thing as TMI? http://zaneselvans.org/#location #
  • Okay, an hour of phone futzing in bed is plenty. More than plenty even. #
  • Headed to the reservoir to go swimming. #
  • Counting bikes for the DoT in @downtownboulder #
  • Estamos jugando Scrabble en espanol, pero no hay enye aqui! #
  • Off to count more parked bicycles w/ @bouldergobldr in @downtownboulder Today during the Farmer's Market. #
  • Is it hot in here, or did I just send an incredibly awkward e-mail? I both hate and love computers. And sometimes, I just don't know. #
  • Not sure what that was, but in any case, it was enjoyable, and involved bikes, beer, and Boulder, so how can I lose? #
