Xmas Lights 2010

Baseball

The Limits of Gatorskin Puncture Protection

Game #2

First goal.

Racing Nightfall

Trying to get home from the DLD crit before dark... didn't make it, but had the full complement of blinky lights with me...

First Mountain Bike Commute of 2010

Pics from May 6 ride from downtown to the U of U (shortcut route).

May Day

Gotta love the spring riding in the Wasatch. The joys of putting on a minimal kit...



The sunny spring views...









Nice dry roads...



And arriving home refreshed and rejuvinated.

Zeppelin

Maybe this is a sign of losing it, but via additions to the emusic.com
catalog I've been reaquainted with led zeppelin... And digging it.

Soccer game #1

Quote of the day - "I think my testicle is ok"

Much better than the old frap.

Rolly polly bugs

First Trail Ride of the Year

Not the first dirt of the year, which has been experienced on the road, but the first trail ride of the year. Unfortunately the cross bike is still apart, so I took the monster truck/29er out on a nice recovery ride.

No. 144

2 Hours of Freedom

Had an opportunity to get out for a rare ride on a sunny weekend day.

Hell of the North

Cancellara kills it again... caught Boonen napping. Road racing is tough - the price of admission is some pretty serious training, after which simple mistakes can send you off the back. I experienced this first hand at our local Hell of the North Salt lake, where a momentary lapse in concentration cost me a wheel, after which I was gapped and resigned to the stragglers. Put in a pretty big effort for me, so the fitness is coming, but race savvy continues to be hard won.

New Kit

I love getting the new season's kit... it's the embodiment of the promise of a new year of racing, with the hopes that a winter's hard training will elevate my abilities, or at least delay the inevitable decline of years beyond prime,

Ride Between the Rain Drops

Managed to squeak in a commute and a lunch ride with just a little bit of rain and sleet, with the stormiest parts of the day in between rides.

Email post (test)

I have never liked Bob Seger's music. Same for Bruce Springsteen.

First ride to the summit of little peak this year

Still a little chilly up top...
