I love a good papertowel test.
For serious, you need to get into a pair of these Castelli nanoflex leg warmers. They are awesome. I’ve been using them since last summer (it rains a lot in Portland) and, they completely rule. The double gripper on the inside and outside of the thigh-band is a nice touch. I strongly encourage the use [...]
NEW YEARS POST>
I really need to make some time to do some writing. I have a lot of people to thank for a lot of things in 2010. For now, I’ll leave you with this:
Living in Portland. Coming and going.
I wake up suddenly on most mornings at about 4 or 5am. A couple hours before my alarm and, typically a few hours before I actually get out of bed. (And right about when the Condor gets out of bed and heads to work.) This happens often when there is a lot on my mind. [...]
Wrapping up an amazing fall day in Portland.
Whew! I’m back and, I have no idea where to begin. Life has been such a whirlwind and, I am thinking about a lot of stuff. There always is a lot on my mind, work, cycling, work, racing, work. Work. I lead a charmed life. Truly. I really need to catch up and take a [...]
Event tonight in Silver Lake, Los Angeles!
I am still on Japan time and feel completely screwed up. It is like 16 hours in the future so, I already feel like it is Saturday afternoon. I’m hitting this up tonight!! Gonna mash around on cyclocross tubulars and tons of prototype Shimano and Independent Fabrication gear, probably wear my new Castelli custom skinsuit [...]
the morning after Nobeyama cyclocross race.
In lieu of a proper blog post, I’ve been dumping tons of photos onto Flickr and I finally learned how to edit and create decent video content; which I am putting up on my YouTube account. I’m in Japan. I’ve been so busy experiencing everything and trying to stay focused. Snapping photos of everything like… [...]
Re: Embrocation choices
I figure I should chime in on this one. There is an email thread on the OBRA mailing list that I caught this morning: On Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 2:56 PMI am confused about why anyone would want to use embrocation? Why not just wear tights or leg/knee warmers? Your legs would actually be [...]
Heavy day today. (ahem, last Saturday)
(I need to post these a little more timely.) Whoa. Feeling super emotional today! And, fittingly the Portland weather obliges. Rain, grey and rain. I am also completely freaked out about the trip to Japan. Wrapping up the details, making it through the UEF open house, getting the work schedule dialed, paying the bills and [...]
mid CX season. PBS open house! Japan bound!
I think…… I think I am taking the weekend OFF! I’m 4th in the Cross Crusade overall standings but, I think I need to skip it tomorrow to prepare for the trip to Japan. Check out the photo! I’m just cracking up on the first lap! The open house last night was off the hook! [...]
racing and culture DUMP.
yeah yeah yeah, I’ve been having a rough go of it this season. Not looking for “poor molly!” sympathy but, if anything looking to vent and turn my scene around. The 2 most common phrases out of my mouth are “I’m so fucking tired.” and “I’m so fucking busy.” So, the insanity is not new [...]
