Today I feel the first wave of a sinus infection. Turrible.

Pics? I think I remember you

nice.

depending on the duration and intensity of a ride, it's weird how some rides can leave you sore as hell but not tired, and other rides can leave you exhausted but not sore.

Yesterday was a long day. Had to start band stuff at 8:30, so breakfast at 6:30. Threw up outside the restaurant I was so hungover. Long day of hungover rehearsal followed, and then a long game. At least we won. After the game was over, got to hang with my dad for a bit. Celebrated the birthday with a good dinner and my first legal beer in a bar/restaurant, then got birthday goodies. Adjustable bottle cage/bottle for the bike, pair of sunglasses with two extra pairs of lenses, a half dozen stogies, a magazine biography on Clint Eastwood, card with some cash from my mom, and candy. My dad also bought me a case of beer because I was going to get myself some and he said he would pick it up. Started kinda ****ty, and got good in a hurry.

nice.

today i get to see converge.

today i ate a ridiculous breakfast at ihop with some friends for gfs birthday

then packed and repacked my 2 bug out bags and took stock of what i have to eat in the house

later more food at gfs house for her birthday dinner: mozzarella & tomato salad with homeade french onion soup & lampchops

fattening up before the storm



im oddly excited to ride my bike around the island and check out the damage if there is any after this is all said and done with

I overhauled my new (used) MKS Lambda pedals. There has to be a better solution to these dust caps, like some threads.

rode around town before and after church. didn't even rain. looking at the prediction, we appear to just north/outside the "Sandy Death Zone". worst forecast is for rain and 25mph winds. still not driving to work.

discovered the secret message inside the center rear pocket on my All City jersey.

bought a new front fender after a stick came up between the fender and the tire and spun so fast it burned through the plastic partway before i could stop. three weeks later it stress cracked all the way through. weirdness.

saw this little write up, pretty cool stuff http://www.the5thfloor.co.uk/2012/10/28/ride-for-life/

Sewing is hard.

yeah i noticed that too... maybe its nutrition related? or?

i think its just primarily a physiological thing.

if ur ride is short and intense (think tarck, crit, cx racing) ur gonna dump tons of lactic acid into ur legs, but possibly not use all of your aerobic capacity.
alternatively ive gone on many 3-4hr solo rides where i just try to keep a steady clip that leave me real tired, but not exactly sore.

im sure nutrition plays a big role in post ride soreness but idk much about that

Today I got in a great street ride before sandy hits, was perfect, no traffic, no people.

Today I wanted to do this too, but was stuck at work.

Be safe.

did my first 50k ever and fixed. 1:40.41.

Hope all you guys on the east coast stay safe. I know my family is hunkered down waiting for power to go out.

Today I went bowtie shopping and bought red jeans instead. I also somehow ended up with a bottle of Hendrick's.

That's not a bad thing.

Today the wind is kicking the shop's ass and it hasn't even gotten bad yet.

#woof Stay safe out there, all you East coast folks.

Went outside for a quick skate9cruiser/beater board to my gf's house and got blown around until I ended up on a parked cars hood. 60-75 mph winds are no joke:roflmao2:

Gonna be a long week as I do not have work for the next few days cuz all the schools are closed due to Sandy. So ima go to the shop and work on bikes and listen to podcasts and music all afternoon. Excited to bike around the city and see all the destruction and after effects of the storm though. And hopefully get a lot of free wood from fallen trees in the road and stuff

Today I am being lazy and riding this out.

+1

think some videogames are in order

Got **** on by a bird, smack on my forehead right above my left eye, on my ride into work. Wiped it off and kept riding, washed it off when I got to work -- about half was on my helmet and half on my face. I think some got in my eye, trying not to freak out about contracting crazy bird diseases. Ugh. Maybe god telling me I should have celebrated the Giants winning the world series more or something.

I hate birds.

word.

i've had ducks attack me while swimming and in the spring i can't run near water lest some red wing black bird think my head is somehow threatening its nest

I cant believe its not raining right now. I should ride this afternoon bot 10 miles and circuit training class may have kicked my ass.
