Don't worry about me, it's my mom's b-day tonight at 11:45pm. It's required that I come and visit every year, so no going out to party for me. The good thing is they drink as much or more than I do!
Happy New Years Everyone!!!

7:00 AM local time and I'm working on New Year Day. I'm looking for sympathy here folks. I'm 31, single, missed out on last night's levity and ladies. I considered PBR for my own celebratory breakfast but responsibility won the day with some pop-tarts and grape juice. Weep with me.

It would be probably be good for me to wake up next to someone as long as that someone was female and was at least 98% genetically similar to a human.

2004 was interesting, to be sure.
Here's to no open car doors, keeping your fingers out of chain/sprocket combo's, and all the good stuff.

Happy new year, all.
I went out for my 2005 inaugural ride today.
Mile 0: Because of visiting the fam out of state and the snow, it's been almost two weeks since I've ridden the fix. A couple of days this week I rode the SS to work, it coasts, my fav bike does not. I was reminded of this at almost 30 mph. I figured that was probably a little too fast to make a 90 degree left onto the sidewalk to get to the bike path by my house, so I hit the brake. Well, I also apparently decided to try to coast. POW! My rear must've lifted 2 or 3 feet off the ground and I'm rolling it out at 30 mph on my front. I repeated this feat not once, not twice, but three times before I got back into the fixed mode. Fortunately the others were at significantly lower speeds.
Mile 15: Oh, the calf cramps. Damn, I guess I should have stretched more. Who would have thought a 2 week hiatus could be so bad for you?
Mile 17: The first battle of the cramps successfully concluded.
Mile 18-19: Rolling fight between ******** driver and ******** cyclist. He didn't like the fact that I was in front of him when the light turned green so he rode up on me *close*. Maybe he was drafting. Looking more or less straight ahead, I could see the front of his car at the very edge of my peripheral and even saw it nose down when he drove up on me and had to hit the brakes when I didn't give way. Totally insane. He stomps on it and moves into the left lane (that's right, all he had to do was pass) and goes around. I'm pissed off so I catch up with him at another light and spit a loogie on his driver-side window. He passes. I catch him at another light and knock on the passenger-side window. He passes. I catch him in motion and go to knock on the window again when dude intentionally sideswipes me at like 25 mph. I manage to keep it under control but get shoved a lane and a half to the right. I think I scraped up his door with my pedal though. I now know what it takes to knock my Open Pro out of true. I'm gonna get the LBS to true it under warranty when I go in to buy some other stuff next week.
Mile 24: Oh damn, the cramps have regrouped and mounted another attack.
Mile 25: The battle is mine.
Mile 27: Freaking cramps! This time I'm climbing the hill to my apartment and the calves have successfully captured some territory in the thighs. Fighting the pain I make it home without further incident
It was simultaneously a great ride--it was good to just get out on the road and spin for a while--and scary, for obvious reasons. What's really weird is I wasn't actually frightened at the time, though it certainly took a lot of focus to not biff. Since I didn't die, I guess I don't regret it but I don't expect I'll pull a stunt like that again. Dude got my goat and that was my mistake.
Anyhow, happy new years! How was your first ride of '05?

It's really not that bad once you get past the body hair..oh and yeah the toes are a little funky too.
I went out on a 20 yesterday and it kicked my ass. New Years res #1: Get out and ride regardless of light, weather, temperature and ony other pathetic excuses. I couldn't believe how much my performance has dropped over a few weeks.
