March was beautiful and I was on track to ride my way toward a distance record this month. By the 15th, I had as nearly as many miles as I had done in February. But, when the storms started moving in on the 18th, I had a feeling my chart was going to get impacted […]
Since I unintentionally missed her going-away party last night, I headed to Contra Costa County this afternoon to hang out for a little while with my friend, Elisabeth, who is moving to Oklahoma next week. After tossing my laptop in the satchel for the big ride, I hopped in my car and drove up to […]
Rain, wind, and fatigue shortened this week to three riding days, one of which was incomplete. After getting rained out on Monday, Wednesday, and some of Tuesday, I had decent enough rides on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately, I overdid it on the dancefloor on Friday night. Combine that with the strong headwinds I battled on […]
During my commute home last night, I got a text message from Amanda. She volunteered to pick me up at my house, so that we could go to Forward at 1015 in San Francisco. Jeneal came along and the three of us headed up to the city, eagerly anticipating a great party. Corey Black and […]

My friend, Eric Rice, has a new sponsor for his Podcast. Congratulations, Eric!

Since then, I’ve ridden over 10,750 miles—about 8200 miles on the Giant Cypress DX hybrid and 2579 miles on the Trek 520 I bought in November. That’s just about from here to Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. […]
Despite having a good start to the week and an exceptional ride on Wednesday night, a storm moved into the area on me Thursday night. I lost two riding days (Friday and Saturday), which accounts for almost a hundred miles off my chart. Hopefully, the rains go away soon. 14 Mar: 34.63 mi; 1:50:36 (18.8 […]
This morning, I got up really early, got into my riding clothes, ate a little breakfast, watched the TV weather for a while to see if I would need my MidZero tights or the lighter weight Matrix I’ve been riding in lately, and headed downstairs, ready for the eleven mile commute to work. I checked […]
