Living the dream!
I'm better than this.
Sitting on the flight back to Portland from Philadelphia. This is the worst one yet. While waiting to board I avoided getting in line behind one of the “Others” from LOST. Complete with apparently crazy glue on beard, cut off blue jean short-shorts (a la Tobias Funke) and wild vacant look in his eyes. Yes, [...]
Thanks.
I’ve been feeling the love, thanks. Pete and I are leaving tomorrow morning for Delaware via Philly. My mom’s funeral is on Friday and I am still planning on racing Saturday and Sunday unless I am totally wrecked. Not really sure how everything is going to work out after the funeral but, I don’t expect [...]
…
My sister just called to let me know my mom passed away this morning. I am flying out to Delaware next Thursday for the Granogue race weekend and I’ll be staying longer to figure everything out. yeah. Thats where I’m at.
On the plane home:
Gloucester Massachusetts was beautiful. If you have never been, I suggest you go. It is not the Grand Canyon or even as sweet as Mount Hood but on a perfect summer weekend, the picturesque New England fishing village teeming with heritage, an epic rocky coastline and beautiful classic homes made me want to stay longer. [...]
USGP #2 – 19th place, redemption!
Damn, that was the hardest racing I have ever done. I can’t wait till the weather gets crummier. These dry superfast races are so damn hard. Well, I finally had a good race. That is a load off the shoulders. I got all agressive at the start and did not care who I had to [...]
Well, that went poorly.
All the UCI points and sweet start position for naught, a first lap crash found my bike and I buried under other riders. I ended up running to the pits and finishing up the race on the B bike with a borrowed rear wheel. I went from the 20′s to the 50′s fairly fast after [...]
Gluing tubulars. Again.
I’m sitting here at 5am on Thursday morning, tubular glue all over my clothes. The Veloshop was busy as hell all week and I did not get a chance to setup my race bikes until the night before my flight. Which, because you asked, is also the season premiere of LOST. (A TV show that [...]
Seattle Starcrossed + Alpenrose Cross Crusade!
What a long weekend. I’ll try and re-cap the last weekend, it is pretty fuzzy at this point. I inheirited a sinusy cold from someone on my flight back from Michigan last weekend and I worked a pretty hectic week at the Veloshop. I’ve had the Oregon Dept. of Revenue on my ass about $200 [...]
Cyclocross world ranking:
Oh wait, who is that way down there? Could it be? No… But, yes. Molly Cameron has a UCI ranking. No more 90th position starts for me this season. word. I had another long race weekend, I think I’ll be spending the evening in front of the laptop and a soy mocha at Stumptown updating [...]
Raleigh catalog pic!
Just got the new Raleigh 2007 catalog in the mail and spotted this on the cyclocross page: Photo courtesy Jonathan Maus or bikeportland.org! Oh yeah, right now: Justin Timberlake Paris Hilton And yes, the new Janet Jackson is solid.
