A planned short week, I will not be riding on Friday and Saturday, due to the arrival of a friend of mine. So, with four driving days to work and four singleton after work rides, I closed out June with a short week with a high average speed. Despite the short week, I’ve still got […]
Despite frustration with continuous headwinds due to unrealistic expectations, I continued to hammer on the pedals and shoot for the sky. After missing three days in a row a couple of weeks ago, I turned it around by starting to drive to work and do all of my miles afterwards. This worked pretty well over […]
Finally. I have persevered and done it. With mounting frustration about my lack of strength against constant winds on my evening commutes, I began driving to work to break the rut, in order to ride my entire 35 mile weekday requirement after work. I could use those heavy headwinds that kept my speed low on […]
Today’s mileage goal was 57.52 miles, which would bring me to complete the 14th week of the training schedule I’m using for the first time. I had planned to leave my house at 1 this afternoon. I actually clicked into my pedals around 4:30. Four hours until sunset with three hours of riding to look […]

I just set up my new account on Spam Arrest. Good senders, bad senders, good domains, bad domains, and mailing lists were easy to set up. Since I signed up for KnowSpam on July 10, 2004, it has blocked 41,752 messages for me. That’s about 120 messages a day. Thanks, KnowSpam!
Damn, I’m a weak bastard. A little rain couched me on Thursday, like half a man waiting to get permission from the stinking Weather Channel to grow a spine. Friday, I felt like my week was already basically blown and didn’t feel like getting on my bike. On Saturday, I went to a party in […]
This morning, I spent a few minutes at the Department of Motor Vehicles in Redwood City, about five miles from my house, in order to get a sticker for my car. Yesterday, after five attempts early in the morning, I got my car smogged, after getting my oil changed for the first time in a […]
The other day, Amanda called me up and asked me to come with her to the Haight Ashbury Street Fair in San Francisco. Our friend, Adnan was scheduled to spin records at a private party nearby. It also sounded like an excellent opportunity to eat Ethiopian food, something for which I’m always eager. We got […]
After my ride this evening, I came home, took my nap, ate a little something, and headed up to DNA Lounge for Om‘s monthly party. This one featured Mark Farina and DJ Colette. I had vastly underestimated the number of people who would be out tonight, particularly since I arrived in San Francisco shortly before […]
