Despite missing a few days this month, I have now officially bested the astonishing month of November. After attempting week 14 and being a day or two short during three consecutive weeks this month, I advanced this week to week 15 to see if I could climb over that 850 mile mark. I pulled it […]
This afternoon, as I passed this intersection, round about 4:40 pm, I rolled through my 6000th mile of 2005. That’s goal mileage plus 1000 miles. It ain’t even October yet. Woo!
There’s no place I can be, since I found Serenity – But, you can’t take the sky from me. Serenity opens nation-wide on September 30, which is the Friday approaching. My friends, Daniel and Michelle, and I are going to see it at Century Cinemas 16 on Shoreline in Mountain View at 10:30 pm Friday […]
Hurricane Max, apparently off the coast of Mexico recently, spun a bunch of moisture into the area on Tuesday, so I got rained out for the first time in a while. On Wednesday, I pounded an 20.1 average speed after work, which nearly dragged my daily to 20 miles an hour. Sweet! I had no […]
I got up at seven this morning, hoping to get on the road after I put my check in the bank and walked home to get into my cycling clothes. I called my brother to chat. We shot the breeze for a few hours. So much for my 9:30 ride. I clicked into my pedals […]
Seth Dillingham is offering an extraordinary bundle of Mac OS X software on eBay. In early August, he completed the Pan-Mass Challenge, a 300-mile bicycling event that raises staggering amounts of money for cancer research. The software bundle Seth is auctioning is amazing—a bunch of Mac OS X productivity, entertainment, and utility software. The sale […]
After taking Monday off because of my ankle (which I sprained moving to Sunnyvale), I felt weak and timid, so I decided to go gangbusters on the rest of the week. So, I completed my week with my longest ride to date and my big 15000 mile marker, despite low temperatures (highs in the 60s […]
Early this morning, just after I got up, I knew I wanted to be a little more on the ball today. I mapped out my route early and got myself ready. I probably waited too long to eat, after spending the morning putting $90 worth of change through a machine at a grocery store. I […]
September 17, 2005. 15:24 PDT. Prospect @ S BlaneySaratoga, California This marker: 15000 miles
A four-day riding week this week, because of my moving. On Monday, I ran out of daylight. On Tuesday, I felt like I’d spent the last couple of days lifting weights (oh, yeah, I kinda did) and found it difficult to walk. On Wednesday, I mapped out a route that didn’t involve riding straight to […]
