Here’s Mike and Will playing a game of chess.  I beat both of them later on in the weekend.  Yeah that’s right Will.

Them thar muscly legs is makin me oh so horny

I met Mike at Life Cycle at 11:45 this morning for a ride. We planned on doing an easy 130 miles up the mountain on row river road again, this time with the hope that the single lane road would be clear of snow and trees. We didn’t have the chance to find [...]

Are you kidding me???

Well I have now been sick for the majority of June.  After getting better from my first cold 3 weeks ago, I had one week of healthy riding.  Then I got sick again, possibly a relapse from my previous cold.  It has been a week and a half now since I got sick a second [...]

Elkhorn

This weekend didn’t go quite as I had planned.  I woke up last Tuesday feeling very sick.  Sore throat, achy body, stuffed up nose, and feeling very tired.  I slept all day, hoping that it was either allergies or just mild cold that would go away quickly.  I was still feeling like crap the next [...]

Cirque du Cycling and Mt. Tabor

Saturday: I graduated in the morning and drove up to Portland with my parents in the afternoon.  
I didn’t quite have it in me this weekend to produce any good results.  But both races were a lot of fun and were great training.  The Cirque crit was awesome.  The crowd was huge.  I’d estimate it [...]

Tuesday started off with a morning ride with Tony and Mike.  We met at 10 at the shop, ready for some serious burnination.  The first part of the workout was 1′2′3′ [...]

I’m better!!!!

Yesterday was my first ride.  I did the CSC ride with a couple LC guys and about 15 others.  The pace wasn’t too hard, and I did a fair amount of work.  But I was definitely not feeling 100%.  I didn’t cough too much and the weather was great, so I have no complaints.  I can tell [...]

Just Kill Me.

G damn it I’m still sick.  I can’t stand much more of this sitting around at home, waiting to get better.  I have done almost nothing since last Saturday.  My days have consisted of 12 hours a sleep per night, waking up, eating all day, screwing around on the internet, skipping class, and going back [...]

Still Sick

It’s been three full days of recovery now (no biking) and I still keep waking up in the middle of the night in coughing fits.  I’m thinking that this will be my last day of sickness and that I’ll be back to training by Thursday.  I can’t take much more of this sitting around!!!  But [...]
