Here’s what I did this weekend on Saturday: 3 Bears via Pig Farm + Inspiration Pt. When I told my inadvertant coach Monica about it I got this response: WHY did you ride 4 hours today?  WHY did you ride 57 miles!!!!  There is absolutely no need to ride anything over 2 hours!!!  You will [...]

1). Let me just apologize for the picture in my last post.  Those are just fluffy bits of lovely cotton, you know. I’m better – almost 100%!  I didn’t workout today but I also didn’t sleep.  I didn’t take any cold meds.  I am almost all better and so very grateful for that.  2).  Does [...]

I had an invitation to go to Winters to watch the Tour come through and then to have dinner at the somewhat famous BuckHorn Grill.  The plan was to go up there with the Good Doctor, bikes in rack, watch the Tour come through, go for a ride around Lake Barryessa and then have our [...]

I had a double experience today that just left me shaking my head.  It comes under the category of “did they really think that would work?”  1). First off my dealings with Comcast – my internet/phone/cable TV provider.  On December 12th I called to have HDTV installed and to get their ‘triple play’ bundle that [...]

I’m alive!!  I have missed Monday Monday and Hump Day Miscellany but consider yourself saved from drivel.  I had nothing to say that couldn’t be said in 12 words or less on FaceCrack.  I admit it – I’m hooked!     So today in email I was directed to  this article Top Cyclists Can’t Eat Anything [...]

It’s a miracle!  I’m actually getting this written on the correct day.  Must be that spirit of renewal we are all feeling.  We are all feeling it right?  I am!  So without further ado …. 1). Drive By Compliment –  The other day when I was riding up Mt. Diablo in the middle chain ring [...]

  In 2005 Nike launched an ad campaign that was intended to be body positive and pro-running (well duh- it’s Nike!)  One of their posters showed a nice, healthy pair of thighs and declared in large print – I Have Thunder Thighs and in smaller print “And that’s a compliment because they are strong and [...]

Picture two women cruising the California coastline in a convertible with the top down on a beautiful sunny day having just had a stunning and exhilarating  trail run followed by an authentic and delicious lunch at a little Tacqueria.  And that was just how my weekend ended.  Everything leading up to that moment was equally as [...]

I had a lovely weekend.  On Saturday I went for a chilly bike ride with  the good doctor.  He is not really in riding shape so the way out was easy going.  The way back is usually really fast because it is a gentle, constant downhill grade but it was also into a strong head wind [...]

1). “I love to ride my bicycle, I love to ride my bike” – 21CM with deference and apologies to Queen 2). I had my first ride in a while with The Good Doctor on Sunday. He hadn’t been on the bike for a while and he thought it would be cold so he was [...]
