Gossip!
Minoura scale: one – Molly: zero.
Long story short:
I was putting some wheels down on the floor and put this hook into my eye socket.
Yep.
It went in and up and I had to get on my tippy toes and pull it out of my skull.
It hurt like hell. Still does.
Freak accident right?
I remember getting lunch a little earlier that day and [...]
I spent last weekend in Bend.
Pete and I drove to Crater Lake last Saturday morning. It was a pretty brutal 6 hourish drive. Stopped in Bend to get brunch and supplies and spent the day hiking along the north side of the caldera.
Can you even handle this?
Amazing.
There was even snow on the side of the road, in [...]
The weekly update.
Being tired is tiring.
Short track series again last night. Had a damn busy and damn tiring day. Almost thought about skipping it and going out for Thai food. You almost always feel better after you race so, I decided to tough it out and at least start the race.
There is a point where you realise [...]
Is XC racing dying? Did Landis dope? Is summer over already?
I’ve been avoiding writing anything about the above. There is so much drama going on and it seems everyone has an opinion about Flandis and veganism and gender and kozy shack and track bikes and drama, drama, drama.
I’m over it. Though I did tear out the page from People magazine about Lance Armstrong, Jake Gyllenhall [...]
Bike Portland. Bicycling magazine.
Just saw this article mentioned in Bikeportland.
No wonder I got so many “vegan bicycling” inquiries over the weekend!
The blood of life.
I witnessed the strangest thing yesterday.
These two punk kids were in the Blossoming Lotus getting lunch and glare appropriately as I walk in. One of them has put Murder City Devils all over his messenger bag and I note that his friend is wearing a Murder City Devils t-shirt as well. I order up my [...]
Too damn busy…
I like Mark McCormack. He is classy, he races cross and, can win a road sprint.
I rode my new mountain bike for 12 hours yesterday. Started out riding through Hillsboro and Forest Grove towards Gale’s creek then turned left onto some power lines and rode what we could of the brutal access road. It was [...]
Day-quil?
I’ve been fighting the cold Ira had for the last week or so and I finally succumbed Saturday night. We had an epic mountain bike ride planned for Sunday and even though I should have stayed in bed, I went anyways. Oh, do I feel like crap. I’ve never taken nyquil or dayquil before and [...]
Hiz-ustle and fliz-owe.
Keeping tabs on the Cycling news live Tour de Georgia coverage:
“13:01 EDT 90.9km/100.5km to go
Ollerenshaw has also attacked the break and is currently between the three leaders and the rest of the break. The leading riders have 4′35″ on the field.”
holla!
Ate dinner last night with Tony Kic, the Miller kid, Brian Ellin, [...]
Stumptown pow-wow.
Ira and I bickered at work today. So to make up for it I took him out for a burrito. We met up with Cary Miller (aka: “the miller kid” Sorry, I’ll try to keep everyone up to date on the sweet nicknames) well, the Miller Kid was waiting around for us and I lagged, [...]
