Lycra madness!

The Burnsville Metric always fills the town square with nice bikes, bright-colored lycra, and cool helmets.


Heather Dawes signals three minutes until the start as a racer head and a chain heart adjust their stuff.


And they're off!


I think Annie knows everyone.


Hey, there's Team Firefly.


Down West Main.


Tim 'Bent Evans cruises through Green Mountain.


And it was a pretty nice day for a ride.

coffee love

I came home last night and found that my coffee had left me a message.

Hope springs eternal

Over Easy

Mmm... The Over Easy Cafe on Broadway in Asheville is a tiny, friendly place with very good food. Breakfast and lunch only.

Who knew?

Well, some people must have known, but I had never been inside of the Fastenal store in Burnsville before (right across from Glen Raven). They have some nice contractor tools and supplies, but it's mostly this amazing selection of fasteners of all sorts. I had no idea this kind of inventory was available without going to Asheville. They sell in lots of 50 or more, so it's no help if you only need 3 bolts, but if you are looking for a bunch of M8 x 50mm x 1.25 pitch socket head machine screws (as I was), this is the place.

Fred Park leads a tricky triplet

Dance caller extraordinaire Fred Park leads a tricky dance from the floor. Things are a bit shaky at first but then we get the hang of it.

Why...

...is this meal different from all those other meals?
