The "33" equivalent of the MUP racing in the "41". You are better than this.

Got asked by the swim team to be part of their initiation scavenger hunt. Running around campus in boxers posing with various people/statues...good times.

There's nothing to be ashamed of. My plan called for 90 minutes of SST work beginning somewhere between 2:30 and 3 hours into my ride today.

Spent the afternoon inside calculating the 30 year savings rate of a 400kW PV array on a municipal building. I am determined to make Renewable Energy viable.

Its a good balance...Ride in the AM to save myself...Crunch numbers in the afternoon to save the rest of us.

Probably not. Sunday's typically reserved for a brief recovery ride and pancakes with my wife.

I'm not a BCS fan.

I ran out of pockets and had to stuff clothes in my sleeves.

My stomach feels better, but I still feel more than a little ridiculous and crampy/crabby. Ugh.

Humour me with the results. The large initial cost, the <30 year panel lifespan and the fact that the power output decreases over time leaves me pretty sceptical.

The solution is out there but it's in new technologies or regulation, not the financial competitiveness of current products.

On my way to town town to do a ride I figured out why I was hearing a clunking noise from my car last night.

Mine started at 32 and ended at 60. I planned ahead by wearing a base layer, a SS lycra jersey with big pockets, an acrylic jersey, and arm warmers. I finished with the lycra jersey stuffed to the gills.
