1/26/2011 17miles

Today I missed the bus going to the health club, but on the positive side I didn't have to go up and walk on the track. I did a(simulated) imprompto hill workout today so I pulled all sorts of crazy whatts but at the end I was way down on distance. So I sprinted for about five minutes and made it.
I like this picture and it sort of fits today, as I rode I watched some retarded television.*muted

In the spirit of softcore smut thats going around Olivia Munn was angered because Michelle Rodriguez was always getting her parts. And all she could get was demeaning 15sec add spots like this, so she scrounged, clawed and knashed her way to the top. Now they've finally gave her her own sitcom, called perfect couples where she can carry out her plot of revenge.

Here's some interesting stuff I found if you're bored Steve Peat helmet cam, I think thats his new understudy. http://freecaster.tv/mountainbike/1014277/onboard-with-steve-peat-at-nant-gwrtheyrn-following-josh-bryceland

1/18/2011 17miles(estimate)

More stationary miles today, I think I have a small crush on the receptionist at My health club oddly enough she was wearing makeup today to. Some eyeliner, guess I'm not the only one missing sleep today I had one solid attack(simulated) at :30 minutes which I was able to keep up for seven minutes. Pretty pathedic really however it brought the pace of the rest of the ride up which is where I get the 111whatts average. About 76 rpm, in addition the jersey made things better I felt really heavy today. I also saw a girl from high school that I used to party with a little in My sorted past, She chose to get alot of ink and I almost did that too.
Here's a redbull rampage freeride video but its kind of graphic http://www.vimeo.com/18121289

**The Tour of Austrailia is on versus today at 5:00 if anybody is lucky enough to catch this, If not maybe you can catch a re-run today.

God this book

is so boring,
I thought after reading the Bible and the rise and fall of the third reich. I could read anything, this book is like the pinnicle of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakesperean_English after this book was written people learned how to 'spake!?! And its killing Me I can only get thrue five pages at a time, not to mention the last story was a blatant Shakespeare rip off. For instance Sir Trisdan gets hit in the back of the head with a fireplace tool by one of the sub-kings of England{this is after king arthur's in charge} and is subsequently killed. After going batshit and hanging out in the forest for twenty years, and is wife(although it nvr says their married) commits suicide and they're buried close together and they plant a rose bush in the middle of his chest. I liked the merry adventures of Robin Hood quite abit but this book is bad, I know(Howard) Pyle had like four kids so He might've wrote it quick. The last bad Guy was a giant greeen worm, this book has none of the qualities of Robin Hood including origionality.

I'm gearin' up

I've made a couple cycling puchases this week mainly for cost control as I'm fixing My bike and getting ready for the forthcoming riding season. From the recent posts on the blogs I'm following it looks like many of you are too.

A set of continental contact road bike tires one of the highest rated touring tires on crazyguy &


My first Jersey.

Some of You might want to take note that sense I'm feeling somewhat sick(like I'm getting a cold) I am off the bike for now.


1/15/2011 Continued..

I bought this dpt store helmet I'm none to proud of it,

I was origionally looking for something by Lbt(correction LAS) or whatever.(the people that make those big TT helmets) Big time improvement over My old helmet that was made in 93, the way I see it buying this helps Me put more $$ into the front end of My hybred.[(pictured in My first post)wether its complete sub-par has yet to be seen]
_On a seprate note morale wise I'm kind of bewildered from this car trouble & all the missed obligations in the second half of the week because of this cold.

Ridgid, steel is real era

I'm kind of writing this to go along with My last piece, and also to show off that era two years ago when I was a Mountain biker. I still want to go back to riding mountain bikes as it My first love so to speak,(I just can't afford the equipment & service) I had a couple of bikes with preload forks which have always gone bad fairly quick on Me. One a schwinn sidewinder I managed to salvage with a strait fork off a cruiser style bike but it was still really heavy. I had another one which turned into a winter bike around that time I found that giant upland at a yardsale which was a great bike, not very low geared but You don't nessarily need that in this part of the state.
However it didn't have more advanced features like sealed bearings, and sence it was ten years old, even with the repacking I did it still was shot. Even though it had a really great frame design I ended up taking it to the landfill, I had the idea to get a amazing bike a GT force1 which was overkill. I found that with were I live and what I do, and not having alot of money to spend on service the best thing for Me to get would be a hardtail. Probably a trek consitering that I have a better relationship now with that shop, I'll get it eventually.

1/7/2011 16miles

The temprature was very cold today I went to the health club, I wasn't dressed nearly warm enough to contend with the windchill. On a whim I checked to see if the bike was fixed and it was, however after I got ready someone was on it. So my secondary plan was to box so I went back down to the locker room of the club and changed, today had about as many wardrobe changes as a David Bowie concert. I'll add My soundtrack for the fun of it,
the Rolling stones; Aftermath,
Beggars banquet
the Clash's Sandanista part 1(while I was riding)
so I boxed for about fifty mintues and(as My mountain biker friends say) gave blood on the bag, so I had to clean that up. Then I looked and the stationary bike was opened so I put My cycling clothes back on and rode for an hour pulling 108 whatts average. My knee gave Me alot of shit today, and for seven minutes during the ride I had the resistance down, happy I'm back to My regular distance. I just got done pigging out and couldn't throw another punch or bike another mile.

1/2/2011 0miles

I tried to get some stationary miles in today but the belt on the bike gave out, I guess I knew it probably would. One to many hour long sessions, at least it didn't break on Me which was something I was mildly worried about. So I guess probably won't be trying to ride again this month.
_Also You can see how hardcore I am by the seat on this MF,(helicopter landing pad) I ride the thing floored and its not to bad.
