After two weeks of NO physical exertion, including being under the weather with continued uterus issues, I decided enough blobbing about – get on the damn bike. I chose a 20 mile ride through a local canyon that wouldn’t take too long in the waning light of day. While grabbing some bike shorts, I tried…
Today I broke one of the Rules of Cycling – I did not make eye contact with a driver that was pulling out into the street. While biking home from a ride with friends, I saw a motorist ahead of me start to pull out into the main street. I thought ‘oh gee I’m sure…
Overall summary: Only go here if you want to truly know what the word ‘inhospitable’ in the Hospitality Industry truly means. The owner of this establishment was rude, defensive, and worst of all – knowingly endangered my sister and I which led to physical harm. Stay away!! I purchased the “Escape to McKenzie River Mountain…
Today’s post is merely a link to Cracked.com’s hee-lare-eous article on why the Tour de France is so great to watch. I completely agree with the last three reasons. It’s the reason I watch it! Right up there with hockey! I used to read Cracked (and Mad magazine) all the time as a kid. Good…

So I’ve posted before about trying to ride naked and the unpleasant smushiness on my girl bits. Well, the girl bits got fully assaulted this week while commuting to work. Apparently my commutes are wrought with peril. Literally in front of my work building (which is actually a security gate to the overall lot), I…
Last June I blogged about an incident where I almost crashed into a darting child while doing speed intervals. Today while commuting into work, I almost crashed into yet another “pedestrian”. I was flying downhill when I saw a few people darting across the street (no crosswalks). I saw a little Asian elderly lady hovering…
During the Giro d’Italia, Belgian rider Wouter Weylandt crashed on a mountain side descent. Now, not just “crash”, like the average “woohoo!” crashes during le Tour*. I mean like, “meet your maker” crash. Gory Details (cited directly from article): Weylandt “died instantly” and “did not suffer The rider suffered fatal skull and facial injuries as…
OK So I really really really hate drunk drivers. I mean, really. I don’t say that with love, even though several of my friends have gotten DUIs. That just really disappoints me. About a year ago i was renewing my license and the girl behind me strikes up a conversation. Apparently she got a DUI…
