Hood and Bachelor

The Christmas storm dumped 10 FEET of powder in the mountains and we got blue bird days at both Mt Bachelor AND Mt Hood — what are the odds??
Also, the folks at the Inn of the White Salmon were so nice that I have to give them a plug here. They run a shuttle bus to the mountain (very low key — you and the other guests get to decide when to go and how long to stay), they make a delicious breakfast, and they baked us fresh muffins to take up to the mountain for a snack. YUM! Thanks guys for a great stay!
New York’s Finest
July 30, 2008 at 10:32 pm | In Bicycling, Peko, Video | Leave a CommentIn case any fellow cyclists haven’t seen this yet, here is the now-famous footage of the NYPD cop body-checking a random cyclist during a Critical Mass Ride and then hauling him in on charges of attempted assault and disorderly conduct. (Just to be clear, it was the cyclist who was charged with attempted assault, not the policeman, Patrick Pogan.)
Patrick Pogan’s statement describing what happened is posted here.
There are so many questions that come to mind watching this footage and reading Pogan’s statement: Is Patrick Pogan retarded? Has he never seen a camera before? Why are false statements made in a police officer’s statement a class A misdemeanor when perjury is a felony? Should I ride with a helmet cam?
Oddly enough, the thing that really gets me about this whole story is not that the police deliberately slammed into a cyclist — it’s the false accusations made by the offending Patrick Pogan against the cyclist after the attack. Is that really the type of person we want on our streets, armed with a gun, upholding the law? That ain’t right.

First Ski Trip of the Season

Happy Thanksgiving from Mom!
November 26, 2007 at 3:02 am | In Family News, Video | Leave a CommentHappy T-day in Michigan!
The John/Peggy Brooke progeny and their sweethearts met in Swartz Creek, Michigan to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Predictably, J & P’s camera bit the dust so they had to rush out into the Day-After-Thanksgiving shopping crowd and buy a new camera. Sadly, by the time we had charged the battery the photo op session was in rapid decline (babies wailing, etc.)
However, a quick perusal of the instruction manual got us up and running and even boldly experimenting with the VIDEO button, the results of which were clipped, edited, etc. under the capable tutelage of Peko, master Mac engineer, and may be viewed at:
Many more happy Thanksgiving Days!

ABOUT THIS BLOG:
The original plan for this blog was to document the road to PBP (as you can see from the title) and it has since grown to include a mish-mash of whatever we happen to be doing this weekend -- brevets, marathons, mountain biking. For hints on what could be coming up next, check out: Dave's To Do List.
