In this review, I want to talk about owning and riding a Look 765. It’s a carbon frame. The model I have is from 2018. I’ve owned the bike for a little over a year and it came to me as kind of a surprise.…

In November of 2022, I got a call from an old friend, he had come across a Look 765 frameset and asked me if I was interested in it. I took one look at it and decided I wanted it. It took me a couple…
Here is the January 2023 Mix. A longer one to start off the year. Lots of lightweight rock and roll in this mix. Art by Aleksandra Waliszewska. I will revisit this after a few listens and drop my thoughts near the middle of the month.…
Here are my Friday creations. More words to come in good time. In a nutshell, I usually upload a fun photo I create on Friday afternoon to my Facebook timeline. Almost a year’s worth of images in this gallery. I will try to continue to…
Wow, what a mix this month. This mix can be downloaded here! Nice flow this month. Perhaps I will comment on this one later in the month. Digging the dragon image, it is a photo I took during a cool night near the end of…
Here are the photos from our trip to Florida during the summer of 2022.

Here are over 200 photos from Changbin, Taiwan. These were taken during February 2022.
What a sweet ride today with Willy – the fella in the blurry photo. We checked out the race course in Zhongkeng, I got some video footage, check this video. Willy certainly has a skill-set that outweighs my basic abilities on the MTB – we…

Here is a quick five-minute video of some MTB riding in Luzhu, Taoyuan County. All of these trails can also be ridden on a gravel bike – so much fun!
That’s it, made it through another hot, humid, and long Taiwan summer.
Spent most of August in Nankan. Acquired a new MTB. Loving this bike.
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,…
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…
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.
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…
