I knew yesterday was going to be super hot, so I took some pre-race preparations. A few days before the race, I began doing my rides during the hottest part of the day. Jeannette later told me this was not be the smartest thing to do two days before a race. The other pre-race preparation I made [...]

Yeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh……
9 Landrover’s today.
The results look a bit too much like Silverton. Race report later.
Jeannette must be doing something right though, with Aaron and I sandwiched between the swarm of yellow.

Riding update
After the race last weekend, I went back down to Eugene with Chris and Karey for a couple nights to work on a bike pamphlet job that Jim Anderson gave us. The goal was to get roughly 1,200 stickers on over 400 pamphlets, which were to cover up the name of a city with a [...]

It’s here!
The new frame has cometh.
After many miles of pacing back and forth in anguished anticipation. After countless hours spent lying awake at night in sheer excitement. After spilling the blood of hundreds of sacrificial squirrels to pay homage to the bike gods to ensure that it would arrive safely. After three days of building it [...]

Sabotaged
Don’t believe everything you read on my blog for the next couple weeks because there are people I’m living with that aren’t nice and keep stealing my computer.

Getting better
Coughing less, clearer snot, less junk in my chest. It’s time to start riding again!!! Really easy for the first couple days though.
I’m signed up for three stage races in June. Mt. Hood, Nature Valley, and Elkhorn. It’s time to get serious. Now if only my immune system follows.
