| 6th August 2007 FriendlyBiker | "Not Wanting to Break Stuff" - From: Scrapes & Scratches, But No Crashes Liz, you've dogged me in the past for having so many mechanicals that I figured you'd understand why I'd want to avoid any unnecessary repairs in the first place...less stuff to break means less money out of my pocket, and consequently less anxiety on the trail! |
| 1st August 2007 Liz | what fun - From: Scrapes & Scratches, But No Crashes Had a great time in the mts that wkend. I still think the "not wanting to break stuff" reasoning for a SS is odd! Tell me there are better reasons than that, please!! |
| 26th July 2007 Karen Cheney | Have you thought of having your head examined. - From: Scrapes & Scratches, But No Crashes If I had known that 10 months of lugging you - eight months of nursing - countless trecks to the emergency room and endless hours of listening to you would end up with riding mindlessly up mountains I don't know if I would have done it. There must be something in this that I don't understand. |
| 15th April 2007 Liz | Oh, Manteo - From: Wes Cheney Wins the Tour de Cure! I hope that you will be in a carravan to Manteo. Sally and I just rode in 2 days on Outer Banks and I have a few stories about the roads there. |
| 15th April 2007 LIz | My contribution - From: Wes Cheney Wins the Tour de Cure! Don't worry, I won't give anything until I return your book! That is one hot jersey. |
| 31st March 2007 Peale | You were right there! - From: How's It Feel To Be Done? You passed thru Brattleboro and I had no idea! I would have cheered you on if I knew. Great story as always! |
| 26th March 2007 TDC Captain | Wes is awesome - From: Wes Cheney Wins the Tour de Cure! Wes is the most awesome jersey designer I know! |
| 26th March 2007 jaxw17 | can't give a donation - From: Wes Cheney Wins the Tour de Cure! Had to finish work so no money spare but my diabetes will not come under control. Good on yer it's a good cause. No body in my family has it except me. You are taking the right steps to prevent it. |
| 25th March 2007 FriendlyBiker | Yup they were really Queer Clowns. - From: 499,800 Peace Marchers NOT Arrested Yes, homosexual guys dressed up as clowns. As to how to get in touch with them...well, I don't know- I don't hang out with that crowd. |
| 10th March 2007 anonymous | - From: 499,800 Peace Marchers NOT Arrested yeah, ummm what exactly did yoy mean when you said ¨Queer Clowns¨? Were they gay and how can I get in contact with them? |
| 9th March 2007 jojo | jojosimo - From: A Day on a Brevet nice |
| 9th February 2007 Liz | - From: The Shenandoah 100- The Challenge Ok, oh I get it. I love it that Shen 100 has become your latest goal. Gosh, the countdown clock and all! |
| 8th February 2007 anonymous | - From: The Shenandoah 100- The Challenge Hi Wes, those were definately my words but that is NOT my glove! I use only downhill ski gloves in this weather! I knew during that whole conversation what you will be doing come Labor Day wkend: riding Shen 100 on a single speed! But at least I have a witness. |
| 8th February 2007 d-bo | epic - From: Fire Road Tested, or How I Spent My Super Bowl Sunday great write up, felt like i was there, wait a minute, i was...........nice pics......... |
| 7th February 2007 kevin | supa bowl ride - From: Fire Road Tested, or How I Spent My Super Bowl Sunday Nice bike, great write up, icy cold, good riding, and good time! Wish I was there! |

| 25th October 2006 larry | mt trashmore here i come - From: Conquering Mount Trashmore i am hoping for rain for the race-visiting from california and looking forward to the cx race there in nov |
| 24th September 2006 FriendlyBiker | "Arse Antler" Tattoos - From: Mud, Rain & Fun Well, a cycling "arse antler" tattoo would certainly be a welcome change from the typical butterflies! |
| 23rd September 2006 Andy Ganner | Great Tattoo! - From: Mud, Rain & Fun Man! Thats some serious tattoo youv'e got there... it's perfect in every detail and if I were to have a tattoo that would be the one! Just a funny idea.... the girls here (in Germany) have tattoos on their lower back, we call them "Arse Antlers", maybe a bad translation, but I think you get the idea. Cycle-Frauleins could have handlebars tattoed instead of those bizarre patterns, and panniers tattooed where theit love-handles are - what do you reckon? ANDY |
| 5th September 2006 Mark Thomas | Well done! - From: How's It Feel To Be Done? "I ached from head to toe." - Yeah, me too. Congratulations on your finish! Hope to see you next year in Paris. |

| 28th July 2006 Brent | Keep on inspiring - From: Rider Number Forty, Please Come In Somehow in the 13 months I've been overseas I've loosely followed your journey and it has been quite inspiring and humorous and well written. We're practically neighbors also (Im a MD/VA guy). Good luck on your ride and your baby is gorgeous! |
| 7th June 2006 Mary | So Cute!!! - From: Endorphin Junkies on a Bender Wes, I love the photo of the boys on the tandem!!! Fun writeup. |
| 7th June 2006 Liz | The daylight nights - From: Daylight Savings Ride The thing about Mon night is that it keeps repeating itself. It sure has been fun this spring. Nice write up. |
| 7th June 2006 Liz | Strong work! - From: Endorphin Junkies on a Bender Gosh, what an amazing ride. Glad Abbie gave ya such--an--ah, inspirational song?! I guess if Moses, Mary and Satan can't get a person motivated, who can? Great photos also. |
| 6th June 2006 Aunt Connie | upstaged by a baby - From: Tak Fur Alle! It Could Be Worse. Wes, loved getting your blog and hearing what's doing . Must say, though, that the photos of abby are the aces in the deck. But you knew that. thanks for sending them all. life is good. Hugs to Jenn. love, Aunt Connie |
| 4th April 2006 Nick Bull | Helmet Accessory, bah humbug! - From: A Day on a Brevet Hey, Wes, that's my head sticking out of your helmet in the top photo on the left, and I just want you to know I resent being called a "helmet accessory"! It was fun riding with you while I could keep up. I suffered badly over Catoctin but felt better after Earl's, particularly once the turn South gave us a bit of a tailwind. Felt great by the end of the day. Would have finished earlier, if I hadn't spent 20 minutes giving that guy a derailleur cable and helping to install it and adjust his derailleur. It sounds like he chewed through a lot of cables and time--his derailleur was all zip-tied up when I got there. Then an hour later he came flying past. I like to think it is because it is easy to go fast on a titanium bike when you don't carry any spares! Hope to see you on the VA200. |
| 3rd April 2006 Liz | Control Issues - From: A Day on a Brevet Hi Wes, I think you misinterpreted the question "Do you have any control issues" :] |
| 28th March 2006 Carolyn | Congratulations - From: Travels with Abigayle Velo Congratulations on Abigayles birth to both Wes and Jen. She is absolutely adorable in her pictures. She is also very lucky to have such a great family, both immediate and extended. Congrats to all. |
| 28th March 2006 Bernard Lefevre | What a great ride - From: A Day on a Brevet Wes, Congratulations for a well written blog. I was way behind you all the way, suffered and barely made it with 34 minutes only to spare, but it was all worth it. And despite the forecast, the weather was great, even if it was a little cold. Maybe see you on the 300 in May. Bernard |

| 12th March 2006 Sue | - From: Oil Addicts Anonymous I'd rather live in a cave, thank you, than be part of your brutal reality. |
| 22nd February 2006 Mom | Memories - From: End of a Ride Memories of that bike bring tears to my eyes too, though for different reasons. The passing of the last of your youth, I think maybe. |
| 6th February 2006 wes | one wes to another - From: Hey JC, How Ya Gettin' To Peter's Place? I found your entry while doing some research for a CW class I teach here at Seattle U. Great inspiration, especially for a guy named Wes! Wes Howard-Brook |
| 4th February 2006 Claire | Who cares? - From: In the Wake of the Storm I watched the live footage from my hotel room in Columbia and like most others around the world thought, well they will be back on their feet in no time, its the USA - they of all people must be able to recover from this. But that hasnt happened - unlike after 9/11 and you must be asking yourselves why? |
| 30th January 2006 TominVB | So that was it - From: Conquering Mount Trashmore Our house backs up against the eastern side of the park and we wondered what you guys were doing. Hope you had a good time. Ya did leave some ruts behind. |
