The Grooms nervous night before

The top picture was the results of an exhausting day of debauchery. And you can see where it got him.

Rev. Jim

Little did you guys know that I am a man of the cloth. Yeap, here I am in Richmond, Va. helping my ole buddy James jump off a cliff. Check out the brides expression. Remember kids, this one is suppose to be until you DIE.

Roanoke Valley

Babycakes chillin at the star on Millmountain overlooking the valley.

Mill Mountain

This is at the top of Mill Mountain in Roanoke, Va. I went to college about 40 miles from here. It is a beautiful part of Va. Roanoke is a quiet little city as far as cities go. Lots of great mountain and road riding. Some of va.'s most beautiful land scape and very low crime rates. The houses and property are 1/4 of what you pay here at the beach. Maybe a simpler life, we'll see.

pole dance

Stevo, Rob and Crab Cake are showing off their new pole. Rob seems to have a career, or atleast the ability to suppliment his income.

never too little time for air

My Honey Bunny caught me in action at the Tidewater Mountain Bike Challenge. It was fun, painful, and I will never learn about the drinking before a race thing. I think I got fifth, but the results haven't been posted. After the night before shenanigans (no sleep, to much booze), you know the drill, I felt great after the first lap. The coarse was awesome and fast. I never got passed by anyone in my class and I did some passin and jumping. All in all it was alot o fun and the people were great. thanks to Steve and all the volunteers. P.S. thanks to the All About Bikes crew for making me feel so welcome.

GOT A LITTLE CAPTAIN IN YA

Please ride responsibly.

UNION JACK

I got this little box in the mail the other day and this sweet ass Triumph belly buckle was tucked inside. My brother-in-law, Ritchie sent it to me and he didn't even want anything. Thanks for the buckle and the thought. Here I am pimpin' it and feeling sexy.

CHEERS

My days at the shop(Conte's Bike and Fitness), are over. It was time to move on. To all the costumers and friends that I've been with through the last seven years; well, heres 2 ya. It has been fun and an education. See ya on the trail and road. Keep the rubber side down.

COUPLES ONLY SKATE

DON'T WE ALL LOOK SO SLEAK IN OUR HELMETS. AND YES, I DO HAVE ON BAGGY SHORTS. SORRY, MY SPANDEX BRETHREN.

NEW BIKES, FREE SMILES

These two lovely ladies smiled, giggled and squeeled the whole two laps at New Quarter. They made every climb without a wimper. Gentlemen I believe we have two newly confirmed mountain bikers. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it; roadies.

Who knows what the glue is

My folks been together for almost forty years and it is amazing how people do that and still smile like this. Us Miller's love our women and they love us back.

I killed it

With much struggle I was able to over come the wild plant and take its fruit? vegetable? isn't it in the squash family. I think it is techniquely a veg., but taste like a fruit

Baby Cakes on her road bike

Check out the reflections

I love bicycles

The Viking

On Saturday's bike ride we came across this warrior manning his post. I have no idea what this this is all about, but I had to have a picture.

Tangier Island

I would have to say that these pictures are the best thing that came from my Tangier experiance. Carrie and I jokingly called it White Trash Island. Now seriously, I could have saved a days time and a hundred bucks by just going down Virginia Beach Blvd. visiting the trailer park and eatin at Long John Silvers. But, hey live and learn.
Everyone gets around by golf carts and there is alot of toys and old mopeds in peoples yards. There isn't alot of beach if any and most of the folks are on the chunkie side. The worst thing is that it is a dry island; thats right; no booze and not enough land to ride yourself in a full circle.
I think somewhere I read that Paul Bowles an expatriot writter spent some time there and wrote a book. Fuck, what else would you do? Can't even drink yourself 2 death.

Biker Mom

It has taken me two years to get my Mom to even consider getting on a motorcycle. We took a surprising little spin around Chincotegue and she didn't freak out and yank us both off the damn thing.

Eastern Shore Track Stand

Track bikes might not be familiar in islands of eastern shore, but I fit right in with that shirt.

Its all good

That always seems to be the hippie/surfer saying in these parts. Which is often mocked by all my intellectual/pseudo intellectual friend. I equally dislike the saying because it always seems to be used by someone that fancies themselves as "cool", but sometimes its applicable.

See what happens when you make me angry

Ready for a steal cage match.

Babycakes gets a new ride

After the mountain bike adventure last week Babycakes has shown some interest in mtb's. I won't rub in the fact that I mentioned the fact that I thought she would dig it a year ago. I think the pictures reveal the excitement. My woman apparently needs a bike that comes in large for the back half of the bike and a small for the front half. Man she is all legs. God bless.

Where have I gone

When visiting such places I can't help but feel a bit lost. I struggle to hold on to what is important to pay attention to and get caught up in the day to day bullshit. I can't help resenting the materialistic behaviors we all seem to have. Greed will destroy it all and it makes me feel lost. I hope views like this never die. God I sound like a hippie.

The New River Gorge

This is the 2nd largest single arch bridge in the world and it is aw striking. What a beautiful place. Some crazy mother f'ers jump off this beeatch once a year in October I hear. Pretty amazing.

Surprisingly nimble the Sasquatchs mate survives

This looks much more brutal than it was, but the mrs. survives with only a flesh wound. Note how paniced I am.

Sasquatch

Somewhere in the New River Gorge this modern picture was taken of the beasts obvious confusion of rock and water. What a savage. No wonder people have for centuries tried to save us from such things.

I'll Never Learn

Post race treats were in order after that sufferfest. I'm just glad I wasn't the designated driver.

wipe that grin off yer face funny man

The mountain would soon be claiming this grin and exchanging it for a gasping expression of delirium. I shaved off an 1hr. and 11 min. of the pre race ride time and didn't belch bourbon once. The day before I was hoping to finish without crying, but things worked out fine. It was painful and fun. I raced clydesdale for the 1st time, raced the IF for the 1st time, and raced for the 1st time in 7 yrs. Verdict: Miss racing, nature and weighing 185. Peace.

pre-race confusion

Thats the Rev., Richie(my brother in law) and myself moments before the pre race meeting.

Ace New River Gorge Bikefest

Gettin ready to do some serious mountain bike racin in wild and wonderful West Virginia. Which ofcourse wouldn't be the same without a few pbr's and some Jack Danials. God knows I was sorry about the jack on the pre race ride on sat. Live and learn?

Mt. Trashmore

The 4th was hot and fun. I can barely believe the 4th of July has come and gone for another year. Our parents were right about the perception of time. It truely flies.

Tranquility

In some ways both of these images evoke the same emotion and speak for themselves.

Two sides of a man

It is often hard to know what will satisfy the restless soul.

Baby steps

Thanks to Jason for the original art and Art for the final touches. We have a label in progress to help build the hot sauce empire. Hope you all s#$% fire.
