No more updates

I am very busy with life. I do not have the time or interest in keeping this going.
I have not been riding,running, doing much of anything outside of work and school. I have some bills that need to be paid,yesterday. I also need to get school taken care of. I have a few weeks left and then summer classes. I hope to be able to start u again in the next month or so. Thanks

Can only go up

My shoulder is still sore but I was able to ride for 30min today. My hamstring is also sore. Tomorrow I am going to grit through and ride for a few hours. Well it all depends on this cold I have. I was not prepared for these sort of problems over the winter. No one ever talks about how there will be rough patches but you have to keep driving on.

I am starving, going to eat so I don't chew my fingers off.

Summer is coming

Summer time is around the corner. This photo is from a high school party. Threw a doubble keger with the boys. We made a ton of money. The problem was we got so drunk we didn't remember the good times so we had to do it again.

Endo

Crashed today on the Mt. Bike. I have no idea what happened. I was rolling along and then boom. My left side is very sore. My right knee also hurts. I have all my skin and some nice bruses. I have not been riding so much. I am going to skip Tillies and try to gain some fitness over the next few weeks. Time to light a fire.

Goal of the week, ride everyday.

Hillsboro revisted

My dissapointment has shifted from Hillsboro. It is now focused on my Mom. She is in the hospital and the cat scan showed some spots. However with the help of steroids Doctors hope to get things under control. There is more to it however I don't feel like typing it all out. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I was looking at the power profile from Hillsboro and my HR was over 180 until I droped. You can not get much done when your body is acting like that. Getting to the climb with a HR that high spells problems. My body was not happy at the start of the race and training had been lower but still I didn't expect to blow to bits. Owell just need to readjust.

Busted!

There were a few spots Saturday at Hillsboro that I was thinking my bike might end up like Niko Eeckhout's. Niko went down on the cobbles durning day 1 of Depanne.

Twinkies

TWINKIES: Where do they come from



Twinkies are as amazingly good as they are disgusting. But do you know why? We've picked a few facts from Twinkie, Deconstructed (Hudson Street Press, $24), by Steven Ettlinger.

Phosphorus, part of a key Twinkie ingredient, was discovered in 1669 by German alchemist Hennig Brand when he boiled down the urine he collected from local nuns.

Other Twinkie ingredients include the rocks trona and limestone.

Twinkies made per year: 500,000,000.

Twinkie cream gets its slippery sheen from cotton cellulose, which serves the same purpose in rocket fuel.

Despite popular lore, Twinkies will not survive a nuclear war any better than you will--their average shelf life is 25 days.

President Clinton put a Twinkie in a time capsule.
