In other news, this morning coming off the trail, an overweight guy on a tri-bike blew by me. He was kicking ever so hard. As he rode ahead, I couldn't help notice that his under the saddle bag was not secured properly.
And swinging back and forth.

How to Avoid the Bummer Life posted the video above. The visuals pretty much sum it up.
Did the drives again this week. It went badly. Popped a little over a half a lap in. But I did end up getting in a good workout, desperately trying to ...

Did a lunch ride today because I blew myself up on Tuesday, didn't ride at all on Wednesday, and needed to do something...

From a speech he gave in Portland:"If we are going to solve our energy problems we’ve got to think long term. It’s time for us to be serious about investing in alternative energy. It’s time for us to get serious about raising fuel efficiency standards on cars. It’s time that ...

David Millar's bad luck and subsequent response at the Giro today reminded of the old skateboarding phenomenon of focusingskateboard decks(ie snapping them out of frustration with an elusive trick).

I can usually get to the Drives from work by the time the pack is starting lap two. Last week I was in a B ride. By that, I mean it was a good pace but nothing ridiculous.

When I left the house, it was raining.
2o minutes later, on a quiet street in Narberth, up the hill from the police station, I flatted.
15 minutes after sorting that out, coming across the bridge into Manayunk, I decided to avoid climbing up Umbria street. (Its my 3rd day riding ...

Did Memorial Hall Crit this weekend. This was the first pack bicycle race I ever took a stab at two years ago.
