beer season is upon us
left my ac adapter on the plane. and then the company declared bankruptcy. i'll bet they sold it. jerks. how can they be bankrupt? they got $500 out of us just to get our bikes and racks home. it was $200 on the way out. i think the woman and her manager had personal motivation to "charge us properly".
got a cell phone. first cell phone. isn't it great? nobody calls me on it.
so, i arrived home on monday. spent most of this week getting reaquainted with my lovely girlfriend (and roommate to be). that's nice. also been packing up her stuff. aparently dreaming of my return while i was gone took up more of her time and energy than expected and she didn't pack anything.
SNDK is trading on high volume today. hmmmm.......
this blogger thing isn't working too well on the mac that i'm using. it doesn't work in either safari or explorer. damn you, google. oh, drama!
went on two nice rides this week. its fall for sure. went out in a long sleeve jersey and a sock guy undershirt (we need broadmark versions of this next year) and i was still cold! even in the sun! did the nice bgt to marymoor to ms to kirkland loop. go to northend or southend as desired. lets see if i can put some pictures up here. hmm....where is my camera!
i'm having sausage and cereal for breakfast. some whole foods hippie cheerios somewhat akin to cardboard (which i prefer to normal cheerios) and isernios lean breakfast sausages. they're good and good for you!
grilled peaches rock. grilled peaches with whipped cream and caramel are to die for!
i don't know if i ever talked about the univest crit. well, it was annoying. there was this whole omnium competition for the weekend. but no money in it. for fun, i guess. a few teams went home rather than stick around for the crit. the crit was 50 miles. 55 laps on a longish course. it took about 1:45. it wasn't super fast, but fast enough. there were speed bumps too. not really harsh, but big enough to jolt me off my bike if i wasn't watching for them. the race went mostly through a nice old neighborhood with lots of folks throwing parties on their front lawn. after the race we were invited to one. the beer really sucked. nice folks though. anyway, the race wasn't too fast, but fast enough to be really annoying. i wasn't quite on the rivet, but i sure didn't think i could go a lot faster. in the last 10 laps the pace really heated up and i was on the rivet for sure. but then with two to go the pace slackened and i got near the front. going into the second to last corner i was able to get close, but we went into it some 6 abreast and the guys on the outside chopped us hard. i blasted past like 10 guys out of the final corner with some serious hyperdrive action, but that was good enough for 24th. i really should have used that hyper drive in the beginning to get better position. i spent a lot of time in the back. i was told that i was near solomon. that's rare! (no offense meant, solomon). if i'd just have better position in the first place i could sprint with the winners. instead i'm sprinting for 20th. tom finished 17th. my 24th is suspicious as i'm certain that i was only a few places from tom. oh well.
