Anyone who knows me knows that my poor sense of direction is legendary. Today I went on a ‘group’ ride.  Only problem is that I haven’t been riding and I got dropped on a hill and then I just stopped to get some air in my body and I lost the group.  Undaunted I carried [...]

I can’t believe I got from last weekend to this weekend without writing about the fabulosity that was those 2 days, a week ago.  I think that’s how it goes.  I figure I’d better spit it out before I have another weekend to recount because I know you all yearn to  live vicariously through my [...]

I’m only calling this Hump Day Miscellany because it’s Wednesday and that’s what Wednesdays are for.  I’m not doing miscellany, though – I’m giving you my 2 fabulous weekends (the last 2) in pictures because pictures are worth 1,000 words at least.  Maybe more.  I might use a few words, too because sometimes you had [...]

I decided to just post pictures of a bunch of stuff Folsom Olympic Distance Triathlon The night before the race I went to the Mexican restaurant next door and ordered  a chicken burrito, expecting to get a normal burrito.  No.  I got this ginormous thing (note the burrito is as wide as my laptop and [...]

I guess this is the Thursday edition of Hump Day Miscellany. Things I love 1).  A great day in the wine country going on a bike ride with Juls, Runner Susan and her lovely husband The Chef. We had such a great time!  Runner Susan is everything you ever dreamed she was and more – [...]

No more Monday Monday on Tuesday.  That’s just wrong. So here’s what I did this weekend. ** update** I just re-read this post and realized that if you aren’t a cyclist it sounds like I am a nutjob who speaks in some strange tongue.  I’m not going to re-write it.  Just an observation. **    [...]

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 [...]

Tomorrow is race day and I’m ready although I’m really tired. I wanted to share with you what I got at the Expo. I had to go twice to do this. I got the stuff in the first picture on Thursday night when they had “Ladies Night” complete with wine and crackers and cheese. I [...]

My brother in law made this pumpkin with a friend of his.  He makes a pumpkin with a hocky puck every year but this year was special – so very special.  His favorite part is that when you open the top and look in there’s nothing there!  (Okay  you conservatives – GET A SENSE OF [...]
