So, my crash on Saturday, I went to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center this afternoon (thanks for the lift, Patrick!) to have my consultation with the plastic surgeons who are going to repair my broken and dislocated jaw. I arrived after a little tangling getting off the freeway. Soon, I found myself in the bowels […]
So, on Saturday, I was stongly considering wimping out of my scheduled 100 kilometer ride and going on Sunday instead. If I had the last 36 hours to do over again, I’d have done just that. 43.5 miles into my ride, after a decent enough hammer up to Portola Valley, down through Woodside, and missing […]
This afternoon, I called the Apple store, because I went in on Monday and they didn’t have any. Today, “You want it in black or white?” Today had to be the day. It was raining, so I didn’t bike to work. I need a reward for my 16000 marker. I went into the store, found […]

Another stupid three-day week this week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were fine, but high winds and rain wimped me out for the whole rest of the week. Better try again next week. 17 Oct: 36.13 mi; 1:51:18 (19.5 mph avg; 32.0 mph max) 18 Oct: 36.22 mi; 1:53:03 (19.2 mph avg; 30.5 mph max) 19 […]
Rained out on Tuesday, I completed the rest of the week, until I noticed the high temperature projected to be about 63°F on Saturday with winds averaging about 25 mph. I decided to sit it out. Yet another week nearly two hundred miles short. I need to find my rhythm again. Damn. Despite the short […]
Last week’s spectacular mileage stands in stark contrast to this week’s mileage, which is less than half. On Monday, my itchy foot tops sent me to the urgent care to find out why the hell my feet are super itchy (again, not on the soles, but on the tops). I was prescribed some kind of […]
Before this week, my longest week was just over 230 miles. This week, I decided to go for a week distance record. By Friday evening, I rolled through 200 on the week. The Saturday ride put me way over. I passed the 240 mile mark for the first time. There goes 250 miles. So much […]
After grabbing lunch at Chipotle, I headed out for my ride today at 1:30—almost six hours before sunset. My route was pretty much the same as last week with an extra mile thrown in. Like every Saturday in recent memory, it was substantially cooler and windier today than it was during the week. This is […]
Oh, my goodness, that was a phenomenal movie. Joss Whedon brings back Firefly back to the big screen in a two hour romp that kept my eyes wide open the whole time. After my ride this afternoon, I picked up Daniel and his buddy (Casey?). We headed over to Shoreline Century Cinema 16 in Mountain […]
