This isn't race repot post, but state rr = at one point having to get off the bike because both legs and my abs all cramped. I stood (couldn't sit) by the road for a couple minutes then continued on. I was still in the top half I bet.

Mollusk, I'm not too far behind you! Intermission at concert. Very cool. He played some Cars and new stuff -- very pleasant and relaxing on the uke. Second set should be a bunch of Beatles tunes that he recorded -- we bought the cd and will greet him after the show.
(A kinda cool thing is that my son has performed on this stage.)

Where were you?

This caps my road season off. Two wins two seconds, and I'm happy with that. Getting the txbra state cup would have been icing on the cake. My friend won the state rr and thus the state cup. It is well deserved.

Sat with wife, daughter, future son in law and wedding planner today. My only input was written on a check. I'm shocked how fast she went from this



To this

That's awesome Greg. Congrats.

Anyone else been getting DNS errors at BF today? Twice I've had the DNS redirect to a roadrunner domain park.

Lets recap today...

-Gym with a friend.
-Went to meet a few friends at honk, and kicked a car after it refused to stop at a crosswalk as I was walking across. Driver ran after me to yell at me. I told him he should stop the next time so I didn't walk into his car and he backed off. Pansy.
-Cooked dinner for housemate and two friends who moved to the area recently. Veggies, pasta, ,and chicken stuffed with apples. Worked out really really well! Spicing was spot on even though I came up with a recipe on the fly. Word.
-Hung out with some friends at an MIT frat and played silly games like taboo and jenga.

Life is good. Will try not to kick cars if avoidable...


Edit: Wowza greg! Proud much

I had really hoped to ride whiteface before the wedding today, but it doesn't get light until at least 6:45, I have to be back and ready by 9:00 plus it's 30 degrees at the summit. I'd need someone else's FTP to pull it off.

I figure it would be less than 30 at the summit, since it's 32 here at my house.

my right side earbud seems to have died yesterday on my ride. Not sure what happened.

Anybody have a recommendation for some good headphones that can withstand a lot of sweat? I like ones that connect to my ear, like these.




These are the ones I have now.
