After work today, I came home, got all kitted up, jumped into my SPDs, and went for my birthday ride. Last year, I rode a mile for every year I’ve lived, but that wasn’t during the first couple of weeks after almost three months off the road. Today, I opted for 24 miles—enough to make […]
On Sunday, I tested and bought a new bike, but it was without the cyclometer, so that mileage doesn’t count. I started back on my 3:1 25% Training Schedule. Since I’ve been off the bike almost three months since the crash, I decided to pick up the training schedule at the very beginning–week 1. This […]
I headed over to the shop again today to buy blinky lights for my new bike and to get a magnet, so I could chart my first miles since my crash. I went home with my new lights and fumbled with my cyclometer mount and the lights. Finally, I got on the bike just about […]
Today, I went to Bicycle Outfitter to test ride a brand new Trek 1500. Since my 520 isn’t getting repaired anytime soon, my lawyer and I agreed that I should add a bike to my stable, so that I can get back on the road. Buying a hot new light road bike was the order […]
Another Saturday night, another evening on the hardwood at 119 Utah St. I got kind of a late start, but I made it shortly before midnight. Tonight’s party was Salted, my usual Saturday night shindig. Transport and LoveSlap were throwing this one. The venue was significantly less packed than it was last weekend. An entirely […]
After a great New Year’s Eve, everyone was looking forward to the first Salted party of 2006. Tonight’s party was officially an “Appreciation Party”, which granted everyone free admission all night. Tonight, Mighty was packed nipples-to-shoulderblades with people. MFR dropped a really dope set of fist-pumping house cuts. Julius Papp followed with a strong mix […]
This afternoon, I went to the office of my surgeon at Stanford University. After the x-rays, we talked about the possibility of my needing more surgeries in the future, the likelihood of future issues with the TMJ, and what the orthodontists/oral surgeons in my future are likely to want to do about my new malocclusion. […]
This time last year, I found a list on Marc Canter‘s blog and wrote my own 40 things. I thought I’d follow up with a sequel. What did you do in 2005 that you’d never done before? I rode over 6500 miles (out of a goal of only 5000) on my bicycle, broke some bones […]
After sleeping until about three this afternoon, I got up, had some food, stocked my cargo pockets with Clif Shots, and headed out again. This time, I headed up to the 13th Annual Stompy/Sunset New Years Jam. The rain was really coming down in sheets, so it took a little longer to get to the […]
Well, it’s New Year’s Eve, my favorite holiday. After last night’s shindig, I was really amped up and ready to get my boogie on. So, about 9:30 this evening, I made my way northwards toward San Francisco. Since I arrived shortly after 10, there was no line to get in. I met up with Kai, […]
