Living the dream!
Um…
I’ve got a good little block of training done this week and I am really, really happy for a day off the bike. Tuesday found me passing Tonkin on his way to work; me on my way out. A bunch of wheels strapped to his back. I was doing the same thing a few hours […]
Wissahickon – Vegan Cheesesteak.
A belated report on the scene in Philly. Saturday night Pete and I found out the hard way that the Christiana mall does not have a movie theatre anymore. We floored it from the race to the mall and dealt with all the insanity there only to realize, there is no theatre anymore. Wow, the […]
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 […]
