Colonel Bleep. I thought it was obvious.

Amanda Coker and myself during her celebration party on the day she broke the Women's HAMR record of 29,607.3 miles in just four months. She's still riding and has until May 15th to end her 365 days of her HAMR attempt and as of today, she's well over 65,000 miles. I rode just over 30 miles with her on the morning she broke the record. I still ride with her from time to time but usually we're on the opposite ends of the loop.

Mr. Wizard the Lizard was an anthropomorphic lizard who wore a cone hat, robe, and pince-nez eyeglasses. He was the co-lead with Tooter the Turtle the Tooter Turtle cartoon.

Mine is a photo of the Prudential Center (“The Pru”), a 52 story building, taken out our living room window the night of the Patriot’s SuperBowl win. It replaced a similar view of “Go Sox.” The daytime view is of the same side.

Hi Tim,

Every time I have seen your avatar [as a thumbnail], I thought it does look like a monstrance...

Then, how about: Soli Deo Gloria.

This is how J.S. Bach used to sign his scores at the end. It's succinct.

Get of of my way, all of you!
This is no place for loafers!

Come on kids, let's go home.

I thought about entering a Cistercian (Trappist) monastery for some time and did spend some time at the monastery in Conyers, GA.

Might become an oblate some day after the kids move out.

Thanks.

St. Louis de Montfort used to say Soli Deo, God Alone.

I'm sorry for your puppy. :(

My reminder lives in NYC and works in DC.

Ego te absolvo.

Sorry to hear that. We recently (few weeks ago) had to take our 14 year old cat to the vet for the last time. She initially went from 13 lbs to 8.1 lbs. Took her to the vet and gave her medicine for liver and coughing up fluids. It didn't help. She then went down to 6.1 lbs and was skin and bones. The night before we took her to the vet she came to me and put her head on my shoulder and neck. I could hear her uneasy shallow breathing. I think that was her way of saying goodbye.

Avatar and screen name, all about the man, myth and legend. Met him when I was in high school and fell in love with his bikes, beautiful, expertly done no nonsense machines. A big part of it for me is that he was self taught and very quickly rose to the top. The avatar is the headbadge of JM027 that was his and now mine. ;)

I was perusing through all things Cinelli and came across this page:

ITALIAN CYCLING JOURNAL: Cinelli

Scrolled down to the fourth image from the top. Then thought to myself, "Holy cow! I found iab's avatar! Its a hand drawing of Cino Cinelli!" :D It was a nice "easter egg" fo rme since I didn't know the origin for his avatar.

That is heartbreaking.

Ours apparently ate an amanita mushroom. Not a good way to check out. We spent about $5K trying to save her, but all it did was prolonged her agony.

Possibly only to those in the 50+ forum :)

And probably fewer remember that it was the first cartoon in color.

Mine is the signature "1220" on my old Trek 1220. It was my first bike and was too large for me but I had so much fun on it. Foolishly, I sold it in near mint condition for a measly $100. :(

Machka 02-24-17 06:22 PM

Mine is me ... at my recent graduation.

Just a pic of me with one of my lowracers.

I am an LEO, and I like bikes...thought this was a funny pic.

The Stig. Icon since I watched Top Gear (UK) from day one.

1. What my given name means in Welsh.
2. Central character in one of my two favourite books (both as a child and an adult) ... Wind in the Willows.
3. Nickname of one of my pro cycling heroes.
4. Badgers are rather appealing little beasts.
