Well the flight was long.  Backed up airplanes in San Fran ment that there were delays, and somehow my bags made it to Kona before I did.

It’s cooler here than Vegas, I used blankets last night, which I haven’t used in weeks (check that’s taken care of).

So I have had a few really great, but slightly whirl-wind final weeks in Clermont FL. The last 2.5 being with some great people rocking out solid training camps.

A few Tuesdays ago there was a spring road race in Lake Louisa. Sean and Epic Cycles, were converting my TT Bike to a Road Racing machine while I was mailing e-bay stuff. It was tight, no time for frills like bar tape.
Gear for Multisports has been helping me out, family dinners, and the likes. So if you need sneakers at lower (US) dollar rates, and less tax, talk to them about the shipping to Canada Options.

Also thanking my close Clermont friends, Epic Cycles for Race wheels, and much more. I can’t emphasize how great these guys are. Even if you don’t like bikes, just sit on the leather couch, watch TV and enjoy a beverage. (more…)

Well I managed not to break any of anything over the weekend. Which was a huge relief.

I have come to realize that I am a bicycle racing junkie. ‘I was trying to quit but these other people are making me.’ Yes the voice of reason on the other end of the telephone tells me they are your enablers, you go to them, because they encourage you to race bike.

Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.

Last week I my ‘attacks’ on the noon ride were brought back in seconds, my pain receptors had rejuvenated themselves, and I suffered all sorts of unknown pain. 3 days before that I went for a flat ride in the big ring, and had to turn back after 20 minutes, because my feeble, furry, legs just couldn’t hack it. Thank Goodness for 18 years of muscle memory.
I LOVE TO RIDE MY BICYCLE!

Bicycle… bicycle. (more…)

OK I am confirming the Rumors (which I also started) I am 100% committed to doing RAAM. (more…)

So.. Well my 6 week ‘marathon’ work schedule has officially ended, and there is one more house on the market. In our time, we replaced every floor, re-painted every wall and ceiling, as well as replacing all the countertops with Travertine/ Marble, (more…)

Racing Season Re-Cap.

So my 2005 season on a pro team was a blow out. I quantitatively had my best form ever, and have almost nothing to show for it. Montreal Quebec, where I was 3rd team mate on the road, but the front two guys got dropped proved to be a turning point in the season. The best laid plans can go wrong, but when your plan continuously proves to be fatal, and pro teams loose local race after local race, you need some sort of consequence, or try something new… So my team and I parted ways things have been looking up.

Test: Are you a Pansy?

Back in the Late 1990’s (yeah I know I remember way back when…) I could rip off 50 push-ups when ever I felt like it, no sweat. So established the theory: If you are Male, and unable to complete 50 push-ups you are a Pansy

So last week I managed to rip off 32 push-ups. Damn, I’m a pansy! (more…)
