Spent most of August in Nankan. Acquired a new MTB. Loving this bike.
Photos from July 2021 – we spent almost the entire month at my wife’s folks’ place. It was a great 3 weeks, and it was really hot and humid. I don’t think it really rained once while we were there. I got in some solid…
A small child crashed hard. Her chin hit the asphalt and blood went everywhere. Her little bicycle became intertwined with her left leg and she was unable to get up. I saw this all happen from about 200 meters away as I rode towards the…
Ok, story-time I drove an untrustworthy car a good 1500 km, even now I am not sure if the car is stolen property or just a ghosted machine. It broke down, which sucked but was able to fix it during the trip. My wife is…
Life has been great these days. Cycling a lot in Nantou County. Spending time with my daughter in Taoyuan. The notable ride recently was a solid 154km slog to the end of 16 and then up to Sun Moon Lake. I didn’t have the best…
The project is complete. A lot of fun over the last couple of months. Very satisfied with the outcome. Perhaps in the spring, I will hunt down another bike to rebuild. This all took place during the summer of 2016 and fall of 2016 –…
Gawd, I need to do this more. Must write more, life details – I need a troll with a whip to torture me to do this, this thing.
Great weather. I got in a great month on the bike 75 hours/1500km. Overall fitness and honest fun level while riding are on the up and up! My left leg is not rotting, it is functioning – about 1 year since the DVT funk. It…
A few things to say about the end of 2020 – but for now I am just going dump a variety of photos on this post and return to write soon. Highlights – Tatajia bicycle hill climb, afternoons on my CX bike, time with daughter,…
I will update this with a summary of this class in a few days. As for now here are the links with all the materials used in the class. This was a great 8-week course. We met on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30 pm…
This is where I will write about October 2020 – man I was busy. I spent most of my time this month either in the classroom, on the bike, with my family, and a bit of commuting between Wufeng and Taoyuan. The weather this month…
Already running strong into the fall semester of 2020 at my place of work. Life is moving along without any real fuss these days in Taiwan. Here is my recent photo dump from the last few weeks. A few outstanding events worth mentioning: My daughter…
Summer Rain They gathered under the new roof Near the edge with buckets As if to win the lottery, so they reckoned. In the heat of the late summer They had nailed and measured Pushed wood up gravity and into What they saw as a…
Here are some photos I took documenting a painting I created last summer – simple materials: wood veneer, acrylic student paints, and a very cheap paintbrush. It took ages to finish this one.
Various images I probably uploaded to my Facebook account. One day Facebook will be gone, so getting a head start with this blog – see what happens.
I wrote this a couple years ago for an online lesson. Here is it on my blog – enjoy. Taiwan offers some of the best cycling in Asia. The network of roads that wind throughout the mountainous terrain is a hill climber’s dream come true.…
A short mini hiking holiday. This was a fun three days. Here are the images. August 2020 – good times!
Some images from Summer 2020 – Family fun in Taiwan, just dropping some photos to get a hang of how to upload photos here.
The roll into 2020. Here are some images I took during the last week of 2019 and the first few days of 2020.
This is where I explain my week. I spent some time on the bike. I rode up to Puli, did a bit of time on 139 and also did the Shuili – Sun Moon Lake ride. We celebrated Christmas on Friday evening – December 27th…
All of these boxes were found on the road somewhere in Taiwan. If you are unfamiliar with the betel nut take a minute to Google it. If you are interested in these images without the watermark drop me a comment. I don’t chew these nuts…
