A not so happy ending to a good day

I took Justin’s mountain bike to go ride with Dave last night up at Ridgline.  It was great.  But the result of riding his bike is not.
Yesterday started out pretty good.  I was staying at Geoff’s house over in Springfield and woke up from a great night of sleep.  I’m staying there for the next [...]

Amaaaazzzzing.  I suggest watching it over and over again until you remember all the words and dance moves.  Come by Life Cycle any time this week for a re-enactment.

Caving

I took the train up to portland yesterday after a night of mayham, which I cannot talk about.  The train left at 5 AM, and I planned on waking up at 4:30 and running over there from Larry’s place.  But my cell phone battery died and my alarm never went off so I slept in, [...]

Food

I don’t have very much to talk about now that I’m off the saddle.  Life is a little more…meaningless.  And boring.  It seems like I don’t have a reason for getting up in the morning, or getting dressed, making plans for the day, or eating.  The eating thing is the biggest change.  I am used [...]

The Cleansing of the Midwest

I’ve been in Eugene the past week working on the new team.  So far it’s been a little depressing.  A number of bike companies are interested in us, but no luck with money sponsors.  I was hoping I could nail down a half million in the first week, but I think it might be a [...]

Sponsor search for 2009

The Life Cycle elite team is on its search for sponsors for the 2009 season.  We’ll be taking a young team of local Eugenians, as well as a couple guys from Israel, to compete in Europe and the States.  We will be competing in Belgium during the early spring, and NRC races throughout the rest [...]

Things I’ll Miss

I’m back in Oregon and the season is over at last.  I don’t want it to be, but the legs aren’t willing to go any further.  It seems an impossibility that I won’t get to race again for half a year.  An eternity.  I’ve gotten pretty addicted to cycling this past year, and there are [...]
