My bike books

I had so much fun making my last vacation photo book I decided to make another one commemorating the quest for the California Triple Crown jersey undertaken by Lance Oldstrong and my own bad self in 2010.

I used recycled blog posts, screen captures from BikeForums.net posts, photos and "liberated" ride reports. After all, this may well be my pinnacle of cycling achievement, so a book seemed somewhat reasonable. It will give me something to reminisce over as I sit on the porch with my mint julep.

I made two, and gave one to Lance Oldstrong. My trick totally worked. At first he had no idea it was about him, he thought I'd just found a book about the Triple Crown. It was fun watching it dawn on him that he was in it.

If you ride, make photos, or take vacations, I strongly encourage you to consider making your own book with any of these services. It's just plain ol' cool to have a physical memory, and in making the book you get to relive all the fun you had.

Here's a link to the Thousand Mile book. You can flip through it. There's even a little button to make it go full screen.

No, you shouldn't buy it, that would be silly.

Just because, here's a link to my Cycle Montana book.
