After several months with the stupid back injury, I finally went up and did a reverse loop of one of my favorite stretches of Mulholland Highway. Here is a link to my Garmin ride stats – YES I know I was morbidly slow but I am just getting back out there. AT LEAST I FINISHED…
I’ll be honest – it’s been awhile since I’ve been on my bike. Over two months, maybe three, I lost count. So after being a lazy bum for a few days, I got off the lazy bum and hit the trails. Specifically, I went up to the Santa Monica Mountains and spent two hours biking…
I had posted about this on the Thrown Chain Facebook a few days ago but figured photo evidence could always be fun. Ladies backed me up on this, but perhaps dudes need some more info. You see, dudes, bras are hella expensive and super delicate. So you can’t be putting them in the dryer; they…
This is the most white I have ever worn in my entire life, and probably will ever wear. I don’t intend on wearing white if I ever get married. ONLY FOR CYCLING WOULD I WEAR THIS MUCH WHITE. By the way, these are the sun sleeves I am wearing. Determined to not go through another…

While flipping through Road Bike Magazine a few months ago, I came across the ‘gear for chicks’ section they had. All I could see was this beautiful, sleek model wearing suspender shorts….standing on her toes. WHY was she standing on her toes? Was she emulating wearing high heels? In bike suspender shorts? It was so…strange.…
So right before I had my thyroidectomy, I bought myself a SUPER AWESOME MEGA COOL cycling kit as impetus to get back on the bike. It’s the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition kit. Yes, yes. I’m a girl. So yes, having a cute new outfit is definitely a good motivator. 🙂 I only did about…
