Obree's Breathing and airships..... Humans Invent.

Graeme Obree is nearing completion of his wee beastie according to tweets.
I revisited Humans Invent to see if they have the scoop... not yet.

There are two gems from Obree though.
In the first he discuses his love of airships and in the second discusses his optimum breathing technique.

Lake Michigan sketches

Yesterday I rode home from an overnight camping trip at Illinois State Beach Park.
Having woken at 5am I decided to start riding before the traffic started.

On the way back riding through prairie trails and railway embankments along the edge of the lake I realized that once home in the city I would be away from all these sounds and smells, there was no big rush.
I rode up to Central Park in Highland Park that overlooks Lake Michigan and took the time to sketch.
I used pencil, graphite, charcoal, ink and oil pastel.  Just quick sketches trying to convey the subtle changes in light off the lake's surface.

"Squid" - featured on Bern Sessions

Now I can't claim Squid as a mate of mine.  But I did race track at Kissena with him in the mid 2000's.  And through that I experienced what an all around great guy he is.  Always bright and cheery and passionate about all things bike.  No wonder he is a role model for cyclists and a company like Bern.

Here is their first 'Session' film.
