Even with a crappy headcold, I went on a short ride out on Mulholland in Calabasas/Agoura Hills this last weekend (Lat/Long 34.1041, -118.7260). So out on Mulholland on a lovely Saturday afternoon, I have to share the road with not only motorists and motorcyclists vrooming their way through the canyons, but entrepreneurial photographers that take…
Yes yes, I know ‘wherefore’ means ‘why’, but I’m going to use it BOTH WAYS. Or as they say on the cooking shows, “wherefore, two ways’. I went to go ride today and I had a flat tire. I’ve been having some fails in the bike maintenance department, so this just caused me to get…
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.

It was so…strange.…
On the edge of the story of thumbtacks at the Tour de France, check out this scary thorn that punctured my friend’s tire: According to it’s wikipedia page, this scary thorn is produced by a flowering perrenial called ‘Tribulus terrestris’. Since that name kind of sucks, it has some common names, such as “cat’s head,…
I tried to do the swim/bike portion of triathlon training today and had an utter and complete fail. Since I couldn’t get my butt out of bed this morning to train with the team, I thought I could be clever and go later in the day. Well!! Sequence of events: 1. Get to the beach,…

I LOVE iced coffee. Due to a lack of Dunkin Donuts in California, I make my own iced coffee with Dunkies brand at home. And then, of course, drown it in cream and sugar. I wanted iced coffee today at work. I wanted to bike to work. What do you know?? MY iced coffee container…
