Date Long Haul Trucker Blue 1×7 2011 Total 10-31 6308.4 3735.9 2174.8 12-31 6625.9 3735.9 2492.3 Just the long rides. Everything else got swept under the rug. Tired o’ keepin’ track. I managed hill intervals twice last week with Bob & Justin, even dreamed up some elaborate biking plans for the winter break, and then… [...]

So last week I was getting ready for bed on Tuesday and I hear this random hissing noise coming from downstairs. I investigate and find the air slowly leaking out of my commuter bike’s back tire. I think nothing of it and go to bed because I have no desire to get my hands dirty [...]

I picked up a pair of Merrell Isotherm 6 boots back in early December to wear on cold weather rides and have around the house as an extra pair of snow boots. They were super warm, looked great, and the sole was holding up to regular abuse. Only problem was that I would brush my [...]

Saturday mornings have been rough for me lately. I got in to a groove whence I would cut back on my food all week to have a decent weigh-in on Friday or Saturday, and then performed the life equivalent of a bonk at the beginning of every weekend. Today was no exception aside from the [...]

We went to Bethany for the week and I totally shut down. You can’t call it a vacation if you don’t get away from your routine at least a little, but I still recorded everything I ate, aside from one Sunday night when I was supervising the grill and trying to make sure my beer [...]

Good stuff, bad stuff, everything is going by so fast right now that I don’t think to write about it. Not that there aren’t some things worth writing about. Once I hit my low weight a few weeks back I didn’t bounce high off the bottom, so that was good. My friend who’s getting married [...]

As mentioned before, I haven’t done anything for the last 2 weeks. Even standing up for more than an hour or walking half a block aggravated my ankle’s stitches so I did my best to keep off of it. I found it isn’t helpful to cut back my food consumption even more if I can’t [...]

We got away for a few days before the rush, and watched the bay bridge traffic backup from the opposite side of the road coming home Friday. I took the folder and was looking forward to getting out for some early rides, but I had no idea how tired I was before sleeping in for [...]

Boring stuffs. I got out for my weekly ride to the store. This week I was watching some drips form under the kitchen sink. After I got back from the short loop grocery store ride I did some exploratory surgery by taking apart the p-trap and finding out what I needed to replace. Then I [...]

I spent the weekend up at my parents house in PA, which was a good thing, but whenever I’m away I eat bad things. It isn’t so much that I eat bad things, but I eat too much. This is constant for any outing from my normal schedule. Dinner out, visits to friends, visits to [...]
