Marathon packet pickup
I tried to get some of my lazy friends to get out of bed and come with me to my race expo, but they were having none of it. In fact, I got called some not very nice names for my efforts.
To make matters worse, even my GPS was being squirrely and [...]

Rock band
Chris took some pretty hilarious photos of me and Adrian playing Rock Band and eating candy tonight.
For some reason, Chris is hoarding pixie sticks and some form of liquid sweet tarts. Strange behavior for a man who weighs probably 150lbs.
Honorary fat man award to Chris.
riding home
It’s midnight and I’m riding home and the streets are wet. I’m not too cold.

It’s kind of messing [...]

She’s always trying to get me to bring her treats at work even though I never have. I guess you’d call [...]

today was a sunday
Yesterday I rode with the Faster Mustache crew all in our new ‘09 race kits. It was great to be on a bike.
I flipped the stem on my allez, which gives me -8 degrees rise which seems to cancel out the headtube angle almost exactly. I rode all day with the flipped stem [...]

before the music dies
I am watching a music documentary that seemed really smart and incisive when I first saw it a few years ago, but now seems very dated.
It features a bunch of musicians and music industry people complaining about the major labels and music industry practices. Their complaint is that music is all about the money [...]
