Today was a day of firsts. First, today was the first time I ever tried a swim workout the day after a bike race, which was the Berkeley Hills Team Time Trial. Here is a truncated race report: it was a so-so day for our team. Chuck pushed through some terrible phlegmy head cold illness, despite my [...]

Cat’s Hill Dream Analysis
Posted in Cycling, Dream Analysis on February 16, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Last night, I dreamt that I was racing at the Cat’s Hill Criterium, the one in downtown Los Gatos, with the very steep hill. But the hill was at a ninety-degree pitch, which I don’t think is possible to climb on a bike, even while conscious. Also, it wasn’t pavement, but a large mesh bag of [...]
Hey Everyone, I’m Famous

I met up with my friend Bob Cullinan at the first rest stop at yesterday’s “Levi’s Gran Fondo,” and ended up riding the rest of the way of our “Medio Fondo” (100km; the “Gran Fondo” was a full 100 miles) with him and his pal John Schmier. He’s posted some pics from the ride on [...]
My Bike is Better than Yours, Part III

In my last installment, my yellow Cannondale, from now on to be called my Urbal Assault Weapon (Urban + Rural = Urbal. This started off as a typo on facebook, but I’ve been assured that it’s a perfectly good name and now I agree), got some shiny new fenders from Tim at Paradigm Cycles in San Anselmo.
Well, [...]
My Bike Is Better than Yours, Part II

It’s a 1998 Cannondale F700, purchased on eBay in 2002 for $500, while I was recovering with my arm in a sling from my first broken collarbone (on the right side). My thought was that now that I’d been officially indoctrinated into the world of cycling and broken bones, I might as well go all the [...]
I Probably Should Have Gone to the Doctor
Posted in Cycling, Random Ramblings on January 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I didn’t go to the doctor because the paramedics said I seemed fine. But they offered me a ride in the ambulance to the hospital, if I felt I needed it. And then I flashbacked to the last time I rode in an ambulance. Wait, no, not true, it was in a helicopter. And I still [...]
How to Get Hit By a Car and Laugh About It
Posted in Cycling on January 12, 2009 | 5 Comments »
If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.
I rode into a passing woma’s car, in an intersection, which prevented me, and rather rudely, I might add, from making that left turn.
She clipped my shoulder, and I went down. It happened quickly, but gracefully.
Pardon me for my brevity, but I’ve only been talking about [...]
